a | b | c | d | e =d/a | ||
100 | $8,000+ $0.30X | $8,000+ $0.30(100) | $ 8,030 | $ 80.3 | ||
1000 | $8,000+ $0.30X | $8,000+ $0.30(1000) | $ 8,300 | $ 8.3 | ||

10000 | $8,000+ $0.30X | $8,000+ $0.30(10000) | $ 11,000 | $ 1.1 | ||
(b) | Determination of the monthly volume at which the average cost per serving is $0.70:- | |||||
Average cost per serving | = | $ 0.70 | ||||
Total monthly operating costs | = | $ 0.70 | ||||

$8,000+ $0.30X | = | $ 0.70 | ||||
X | ||||||
$8,000+ $0.30X | = | $ 0.70X | ||||
$8,000 | = | $ 0.70X - $0.30X | ||||
$8,000 | = | $ 0.40X | ||||
X | = | $8,000 | ||||
$0.40 | ||||||
X | = | 20000 | Servings of Chili | |||
The monthly volume at which the average cost per serving is $0.70 is 20,000 servings of Chili |
