In a slow year, Deutsche Burgers will produce 2 million hamburgers at a total cost of $3.5 million. In a good year, it can produce 4 million hamburgers at a total cost of $4.5 million.
a. Fixed Cost+2*Variable Cost =3.5
Fixed Cost+4*Variable Cost =4.5
2*Fixed Cost -Fixed Cos =2*3.5-4.5 =2.5
million
b. Variable Cost =(3.5-2.5)/2 =0.5
million
c. Average Cost when 1 million hamburgers are produced =(Fixed
Cost+1*Variable Cost)/1 =2.5+0.5 =3.00
d. Average Cost when 2 million hamburgers are produced =(Fixed
Cost+2*Variable Cost)/2 =(2.5+2*0.5)/2 =1.75
