Expert Solution
Step 1

a) Variable cost for x unit = x * Variable cost per unit

                                                       = 8.65x

Fixed cost = $65000

Total cost of x units C = Variable cost for x units + Fixed cost

                                         C = 8.65x+65000          ...(1)

Step 2

b) Revenue R=Total amount generated by selling x units

                       R = Selling price of 1 unit * x

                      R = 17.85x                ...(2)
