Answer:
$43
Explanation:
The total cost incurred by the company is made of two classes of cost namely; Fixed and variable cost. While the fixed cost is constant, the variable cost is dependent on the number of tractors produced.
A such,
Fixed cost = $550,000
Variable cost = 22000 × $180 = $396,000
Total cost = $550,000 + $396,000
= $946,000
The average cost per tractor is the result of the ratio of the total cost to the number of tractors
average cost per tractor = $946,000/22,000
= $43
