Total variable cost

[tex]= 100,000,000\ \times\ 70 \%\ +\ 16,000,000\ \times\ 75 \%\ +\ 12,000,000\ \times\ 50 \%[/tex]

= 70,000,000 + 12,000,000 + 6,000,000

=$88,000,000

Total fixed cost

[tex]= 100,000,000\ \times\ 30 \%\ +\ 16,000,000\ \times\ 25 \% + 12,000,000\ \times\ 50 \%[/tex]

= 30,000,000 + 4,000,000 + 6,000,000

=$40,000,000
