Answer:

d. $432,590

Explanation:

In this scenario cost varies with volume of calls. This is called variable cost and is defined as cost that changes as the quantity of goods and services changes. Variable cost is a summation of all the marginal costs of units produced. They rise as production increases and vice versa.

To calculate the variable cost= Total cost/ volume

Variable cost= 452,500/25,000

Variable cost= $18.10

At a new volume of $23,900

Total cost= Variable cost * Volume

Total cost= 18.1* 23,900

Total cost= $432,590
