Your company is reviewing a project with estimated labor costs of $14.68 per unit, estimated raw material costs of $43.18 a unit, and estimated fixed costs of $18,000 a month. sales are projected at 15,500 units, ±5 percent, over the one-year life of the project. cost estimates are accurate within a range of ±3 percent. what are the total variable costs for the best-case scenario?

Variable cost= 56,12

Unitary fixed cost=1,073

Total unitary cost= 57,193

Explanation:

The best-case scenario is one that maximizes sales and minimizes cost. We will calculate sales in the higher percentile and variable and fix costs in the lower one.

Higher Sales=15500 *1,05=16275 units

Lower Sales= 15500*0,95=14725 units

Higher labor cost= 14,68*1,03=$15,1204

Lower labor cost=14,68*0,97=$14,24

Higher direct material= 43,18*1,03=$44,48

Lower direct material= 43,18*0,97= $41,88

Higher fixed cost=$18000*1,03= $18540

Lower fixed cost=$18000*0,97= $17460

Total cost best-case scenario:

Variable cost= (14,24+41,88)=56,12

Unitary fixed cost=(17460/16275)=1,073

Total unitary cost= 57,193

being born in poverty would limit the people's chances, opportunities and benefits.

this happen because of several things, such as:

- poor people tend to gain less access to good education and nutrition. this mean that their chance to obtain high paying jobs would also be limited.

- poor people tend to socialize with other poor people while the rich tend to socialize with other rich people. this means that simply throguh their social circle, rich people would have more business opportunities compared to the poor people.

- rich people tend to have more capital in their disposal. this would benefit them in business since it is far easier for them to fund their business operation compared to poor people.
