The total cost for Aling Nena to produce Buka Pie is broken down into fixed cost and variable cost. Fixed cost is P35,000 a week and the variable cost is P160 for each box of buko pie. Aling Nena

sells her buko pie at P300 a piece.

a. What is the total cost for producing 950 boxes of buko pie each week? 1,000 boxes of buko pie each week? 1,800 boxes of of buko pie each week?

The total cost to produce Aling Nena's Buko Pie is made up of **fixed cost** and **variable cost**. Here's how we calculate the total cost:

- **Fixed cost**: P35,000 per week (constant regardless of the number of boxes produced).
- **Variable cost**: P160 per box.

The total cost formula is:

\[
\text{Total Cost} = \text{Fixed Cost} + (\text{Variable Cost} \times \text{Number of Boxes})
\]

### a. Calculate the total cost for different numbers of boxes:

1. **For 950 boxes:**

\[
\text{Total Cost} = 35,000 + (160 \times 950)
\]
\[
\text{Total Cost} = 35,000 + 152,000 = P187,000
\]

2. **For 1,000 boxes:**

\[
\text{Total Cost} = 35,000 + (160 \times 1,000)
\]
\[
\text{Total Cost} = 35,000 + 160,000 = P195,000
\]

3. **For 1,800 boxes:**

\[
\text{Total Cost} = 35,000 + (160 \times 1,800)
\]
\[
\text{Total Cost} = 35,000 + 288,000 = P323,000
\]

### Summary of Total Costs:
- For 950 boxes: P187,000
- For 1,000 boxes: P195,000
- For 1,800 boxes: P323,000

Here are 5 follow-up questions for deeper understanding:
1. What would the total cost be for producing 500 boxes of Buko Pie?
2. How would the total cost change if the variable cost per box increased to P200?
3. How much more would Aling Nena spend in total cost by producing 1,000 boxes instead of 950 boxes?
4. What is the average cost per box for 1,000 boxes of Buko Pie?
5. If Aling Nena had no fixed costs, what would be the total cost for producing 1,800 boxes?

**Tip:** Always break down a cost problem by identifying fixed and variable components for clarity!

The total cost for Aling Nena to produce Buko Pie is broken down into fixed cost and variable cost. Fixed cost is P35,000 a week and the variable cost is P160 for each box of buko pie. Aling Nena sells her buko pie at P300 a piece. a. What is the total cost for producing 950 boxes of buko pie each week? 1,000 boxes of buko pie each week? 1,800 boxes of buko pie each week?

Learn how to calculate the total cost for producing 950, 1,000, and 1,800 boxes of Buko Pie. This problem explains fixed and variable costs and uses the formula 'Total Cost = Fixed Cost + (Variable Cost × Number of Boxes).' Suitable for students in Grades 7-9.
