Perreth Drycleaners has capacity to clean up to $6,000$ garments per month.

Requirements

Complete the schedule below for the three volumes shown.

Why does the average cost per garment change?

Suppose the owner, David Perreth, erroneously uses the average cost per unit at full capacity to predict total costs at a volume of $3,000$ garments. Would he overestimate or underestimate his total costs? By how much?

Requirement $1.$ Complete the following schedule for the three volumes shown. $($Round all unit costs to the nearest cent and all total costs to the nearest whole dollar.$)$
