4 Wu Company incurred $40,000 of fixed cost and $50,000 of
variable cost when 4,000 units of product were made and sold.

total costs will be:
$100,000
$90,000
$102,500
$80,000

Fixed cost is fixed at different level of volume, it is not change with the change in the level of volume. If fixed cost remains the same and volume changes, then fixed cost per unit also changes. Fixed cost per unit increases when volume decreases and fixed cost per unit decreases when volume increases.

Total cost = Fixed cost + Variable cost
Fixed cost = $40,000
Variable cost = ($50,000 / 4,000 units) * 5,000 units
= $62,500
Total cost = $40,000 + $62,500
= $102,500
