Ted's Sleds produces sleds at an average variable cost per unit of $41.18 when production quantity is 1,250 units. When production increases to 1,251 units the average variable cost declines to $41.16. What is the minimal price that Ted's Sleds can charge for the 1,251st sled without affecting net profits?
Number of units produces | 1,250 | 1,251 |
Average variable cost per unit | $41.18 | $41.16 |
Total variable cost | $51,475 | $51,491.16 |
Increase in total variable cost due to 1,251st Sled = 51,491.16-51,475
= $16.16
The minimal price that Ted's Sleds can charge for the 1,251st sled without affecting net profits = $16.16
