Malcom’s tee shirt & jacket company is to produce a new line of rain coats. there are fixed costs of $570 to set up for production, and variable costs of $30 per jacket. write an equation that can be used to determine the total cost, c(x), encountered by malcom’s company in producing x rain coats, and use the equation to find the total cost of producing 118 rain coats.
a) $4110b) $4102c) $4090d) $4122e) none

a) $4110

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent number of rain coats and C(x) represent total cost to produce new line of rain coats.

We have been given that the fixed costs of $570 to set up for production, and variable costs of $30 per jacket.

The cost of x jackets would be .

The total cost of x jackets would be variable cost of x jackets plus fixed costs that is $570.

Therefore, the total cost of producing x rain coats would be .

To find the total cost of producing 118 rain coats, we will substitute in the above equation as:

Therefore, the total cost of producing 118 rain coats is $4110 and option 'a' is the correct choice.

These would be the answers to the questions provided above!
