Management believes it can sell a new product for $250.            
First Scale of Operations: fixed costs of production are estimated to be $50,000 and the variable costs are $215 a unit     
Second Scale of Operations: fixed costs of production are estimated to be at $150,000 and variable costs are $170 a unit     
                
a. Complete the tables below for each scale of operations with the given levels of output and the relationships       
    between quantity and fixed cost, quantity and variable costs, and quantity and total costs.

c. Assume that ½ of the fixed costs in each scale of operations is non-cash depreciation. What is the cash flow      
    generated by each scale of operations if 1,000 of units are sold?

variable costs have on a firm's operating earnings?
