Consider the following figures which refer to a firm's production department during one week:

Wage bill ₦6,000, Rent, Rates, Depreciation ₦200, raw materials ₦800, Power ₦300.

Total variable costs incurred during the week are

  • A ₦7,300
  • B ₦7,100
  • C ₦1,300
  • D ₦1,100

The correct answer is B. ₦7,100

TVC = 6000 + 800 + 300
