(Do not round intermediate calculations.) Total cost

Explanation / Answer

Cost formula:

Total cost = Fixed cost + Variable cost

= ($2,600 + 5,700 + 3,100) + ($9.25 + 28.00 + 12.50 + 6.25 + 4.00) per unit

= $11,400 + $60 per unit

Total cost expected for 2,910 units of activity:

Total cost = $11,400 + ($60 × 2,910 units)

= $11,400 + 174,600

= $186,000
