Question

Adrian's Premium Boxing Service subcontracts with a chocolate manufacturer to box premium chocolates for their mail order catalogue business. Adrian rents a small room for $150 a week in the downtown business district that serves as her factory. She can hire workers for $275 a week. During the week of July 4th, Adrian doesn't box any chocolates. What are her costs during the week

Answer 1

Answer:

b). $ 150

Explanation:

Given that,

Rent of the room per week = $ 150

Cost or workers for the week = $ 275

To find,

Her costs during the week = ?

Procedure:

The costs during the week would be $ 150

because only the fixed costs(factory rent) would be taken into the application as no chocolates were packed that week.

The other costs are the variable costs that will be determined once the production proceeds and calculated once the week is completed. Therefore, option b is the correct answer.
