Exercise $2-49($Static$)$ Cost Behavior and Forecasting $($LO $2-5)$

Sophia's Restaurant served $5,000$ meals last quarter. Sophia recorded the following costs with those meals.

Required:

Suppose that Sophia expects to serve $15$ percent more meals in the next quarter. Unit variable costs are expected to remain

unchanged. However, Sophia knows that if the restaurant serves over $5,500$ meals in a quarter, she must hire an additional manager

$($part$-$time$)$ at a cost of $$6,450$ for the quarter. Other fixed costs are expected to increase by $10$ percent.

Calculate the unit cost and the total cost if $5,750$ meals are served next quarter. $($Round "Unit costs" answer to $2$ decimal places.$)$
