The total is US $4,350. For 100 orders, these costs are US $1,250, US $260, and US $1,700, respectively, for a total of US $3,210. As the number of orders increased by 60, the costs increased by US $1 .140. Consequently, the variable or incremental costs per order must have been US $19 $1 .140 - 60 orders).
