Computing Total Costs 13 Computing Total Costs
How do I find total cost?

Given: A publisher faces the following demand schedule for the next novel of one of its popular authors. The author is paid $2 million to write the book and the cost of publishing EACH book is a constant $10. ( I have to compute total cost at each quantity)

Price Quantity Demanded
$100 0
$90 100,000
$80 200,000
$70 300,000
$60 400,000
“Price” and Quantity Demanded” are two different columns

Total cost = Fixed cost + variable cost
$2 million is the Fixed cost
$10 is the variable cost per unit
total variable cost is $10 x the quantity produced

sample computation below:

@ $100 price/unit the total cost is:

$2million + $10 ( 0 ) = $2million

@ $90
total cost = $2million + $10 (100,000) = $3million

@ $60

total cost = $2million + $10 (400,000) = $6million

hope you got the point now. good luck!
