    Total fixed cost manufacturing = $16,500

    Explanation:

    Not that fixed costs are those which do not vary within a relevant range of activities. The average fixed cost given must have been determined by dividing the total fixed cost by the number of units produced.

    Hence to work back the total fixed cost we would multiply the average cost by 5,000 units.

    Total fixed cost manufacturing = $3.30 * 5,000 = $16,500

    Note that we multiplied the average cost per unit by 5,000 units and not 6,000 units simply because fixed cost by their nature of behavior do not vary with activity level within a range

    Total fixed cost manufacturing = $16,500
