Consider the three processes described below, which are being evaluated as possible choices to handle production of units for the firm NST Associates.

PROCESS N: fixed cost $14000,$ variable cost $15$ per unit

PROCESS S: fixed cost $8000,$ variable cost $50$ per unit

PROCESS T: fixed cost $12000,$ variable cost $30$ per unit

$($a$)$ Construct a crossover chart to show the comparative total costs of each process, as a function of the volume x of units produced.$$ Your graph should be neat, complete, reasonably scaled, and clearly labeled with all relevant information.$$

$($b$)$In words, give a summary of which process is best $($lowest cost$)$ for which volumes. Consider the three processes described below, which are being evaluated as possible choices to handle production of units for the firm NST Associates.
