Question 1 Report

A firm making custom kites records its production for a school festival. Each kite sells for $18. Its daily fixed costs are $90, and materials cost $6 for each kite produced.

(a) Calculate the total variable cost of producing 12 kites. [1]
(b) Calculate the total revenue if all 12 kites are sold. [2]

Answer Details
  1. (a) Materials are a variable cost of \(\$6\) per kite.
    \[12\times\$6=\$72\]
    The total variable cost is \(\$72\). [1]
  2. (b) Total revenue equals quantity sold multiplied by selling price.
    \[12\times\$18=\$216\]
    Total revenue is \(\$216\). [2]

The daily fixed cost is not needed for either calculation because the question asks for variable cost and revenue, not total cost or profit.
