from where 30000 and 37500comes

Question:
The total cost of producing a certain number of units of an article is partly fixed and partly varies directly with the number of units of that article produced.  The average cost of producing 15,000 units of that article is Rs.2, while that of producing 25,000 units of that article is Rs.1.5. Find the variable cost of each unit of the article produced.
Options:
A) Rs.1.25 
B) Rs.1.50
C) Rs.0.75 
D) Rs.2.50
E) Rs.2.90
Solution:

Ans (c) Let fixed cost be F and variable cost per unit of an article produced be K.

30,000 = F +15,000 K (∴ Total cost = 2 × 15000 = 30000)

37,500 = F + 25,000 K

Subtracting the first equation from the second, 7500

= 10,000 K ⇒ K = 0.75

Hence variable cost of each unit produced is Rs.0.75.

otal cost = 2 × 15000 = 30000
30000+7500 gives 37500
