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?
a. $15.16
b. $14.16
c. $14.37
d. $16.16
e. $13.89
Minimal price for 1251 units = total cost for 1251 units - total cost for 1250 units
Total cost = Avg cost * no of units
Minimal price for 1251 units = (41.16 * 1251) - (41.18 *1250)
= 51491.16 - 51475
= 16.16
Option D has to be selected.
