Hasa brother Answer is B now let me explain why,
The initial cost is 80000...it has a negative balance as it was an expense. Now they said the machine will save 40000 cost each year...so just multiply 40000 with the 3 discounting values in year 1,2,3 it should give you 99400..and after that just deduct 80000 and thats all.

The table shows costs at 3 activity levels.
65 units -Fixed cost - ? Variable cost - ? Total cost - 15,600
90 units - Fixed cost - ? Variable cost - ? Total cost - 19,600
100 units - Fixed cost - ? Variable cost - ? Total cost - 21,200

What is the fixed cost?

Please answer this question and explain how it is done :D

FC + VC = Total Cost
So, let us consider 65 units and 90 units.
For 65 units, Fixed cost would be FC and Variable cost per unit would be x.
For 90 units, Fixed cost would be FC and Variable cost per unit would be x.

FC + 90x = 19600
FC + 65x = 15600

Solving these two equations simultaneously,
25x = 4000
x = 160

=> FC + 90*160 = 19600
FC = $5200 :D
