Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To find the total cost, we need to add the cost of renting the room ($150) to the cost of labor for making 890 boxes per week, which is ($275 x 2) since it takes two workers to make 890 boxes per week. Therefore, the total cost is:
$150 + ($275 x 2) = $700
The closest option to this amount is option C, $1250, which is more than the total cost but includes the price of the chocolate manufacturer's subcontracting fee. Therefore, C is the best choice.
