Cindy operates Birds-R-Us, a small store manufacturing and selling 100 bird feeders per month. Cindy's monthly total fixed costs are $500, and her monthly total variable costs are $2,500. If for some reason Cindy's fixed cost fell to $400, then her _____ costs would _____.

Respuesta :

Answer: total

Fall

Explanation:

Total cost is given as the sum of fixed and variable cost.

Total cost = Fixed cost + variable cost.

Total cost before the reduction in fixed cost:

$2500 + $500 = $3000

Total cost after the reduction in fixed cost:

$2500 + $400 = $2900

Total cost fell by $100.

Fixed costs are costs that do not vary with production e.g. rent

Variable costs are costs that vary with production. E.g. shipping cost , wages
