    Answer: $121,600

    Explanation:

    Given the following;

    Number of units = 26,100

    Cost per unit = $14

    Pretax income = $61,100

    Variable cost = $7

    Pretax income represents an organization's profif after deducting all operating expenses before except income tax.

    Total revenue from sales = $14 * 26,100 = $365,400

    If Total revenue from sales = $365,400

    and profit accrued after deducting operating expenses = $61,100.

    cost of production can be found by;

    Total revenue from sales - Pretax income

    $365,400 - #61,100 = $304,300

    Total cost = $304,300

    Using the formula:

    Total cost = variable cost + fixed cost

    Variable cost = $7 * 26,100 = $182,700

    Fixed cost = $304,300 - $182,700 = $121,600

    d. $121,600

    Explanation:

    The total sales revenue = 26100 * 14 = $365400

    Out of this revenue figure, 61100 is the profit figure which means the total costs are 365400 - 61100 = $304,300

    The variable costs amount to = 7 * 26100 = $182700

    As we know that the total cost is made up of both fixed and variable costs, the fixed costs will then be,

    Fixed cost = Total cost - Variable cost

    Fixed Cost = 304300 - 182700 = $121,600
