Answer:

The managers predicted total costs for 3500 birdcages will be $74640.

Explanation:

Average cost = Total cost/Total units

total costs = (22*2500)

                 = $55000

variable costs = (55000 - 5900)

                       = $49100

variable cost/unit = (49100/2500)

                             = $19.64/unit

total cost for 3500 birdcages = 5900 + (19.64*3500)

                                                 = $74640

Therefore, The managers predicted total costs for 3500 birdcages will be $74640.
