Trivor, Inc., produces a special line of toy racing cars. Trivor produces the cars in batches. To manufacture each batch of cars, Trivor must set up the machines and molds. Setup costs are fixed batch$-$level costs. In the long run, number of setup$-$hours is the cost driver of set up costs. A separate Setup Department is responsible for setting up machines and molds for each style of car. The following information pertains to $2020$:
