Given a cost difference of $16,000 and a slope coefficient of 0.40, what is the corresponding difference in machine hours?

Multiple choice question for Cost Function and Behavior. Select an option, then review the explanation below.

Explanation

To find the difference in machine hours, divide the cost difference by the slope coefficient: $16,000 ÷ 0.40 = $40,000. Therefore, the correct answer is option D.
