CosAcc Unit 1 Introduction PDF

Here are the steps to solve this problem: 1. The cost formula appears to be a linear relationship between total cost and number of units. A line of best fit provides the equation: Total Cost = $2 * Number of Units 2. Plug 35,000 units into the cost formula: Total Cost = $2 * 35,000 = $70,000 3. Plug 25,000 units into the cost formula: Total Cost = $2 * 25,000 = $50,000 Therefore, the total cost if the company plans to produce 35,000 units is $70,000 and the total cost if the company plans to produce 25,000 units is $50,000.
