The Board of Directors at Aphrian Cannabis Inc. are disappointed because the company has been averaging 9,000 pots per month, but the company can make and sell 12,000 pots per month. The variable cost (for example, material) of each pot is $3.50. Monthly fixed costs (for example, depreciation, property taxes, salaries) are $24,000 per month. The Board wants cost information about different volumes so that they can make some operating decisions. Requirements: 1.
