Answer:

A. y = $62.50x + $89,500

Explanation:

A cost equation is an mathematical formula which company uses to estimate the cost and expenses which is associated with the production or sales processes.

y represents the total cost which can be calculated by adding total variable cost and Fixed cost. X represent the quantity and variable coefficient is the variable cost. to calculate the total variable cost the quantity is multiplied with the variable cost unit as follow

variable cost = $62.50x

As Intercept Coefficient shows the fixed cost

Fixed cost = $89,500

So the cost equation will be

Total Cost = Variablecost + Fixed cost

y = $6.50x + $89,500
