(Table: Cakes) Use Table: Cakes.Pat is opening a bakery to make and sell special birthday cakes.She is trying to decide how many mixers to purchase.Her estimated fixed and average variable costs if she purchases 1,2,or 3 mixers are shown in the table.Assume that average variable costs do not vary with the quantity of output.If Pat purchases 3 mixers and bakes 200 cakes per day,what is her average total cost?

A) $50.00
B) $12.50
C) $16.50
D) $800.00

To find the average total cost, we need to add the fixed cost to the average variable cost per cake and then divide by the total number of cakes produced.
For Pat's bakery, if she purchases 3 mixers and bakes 200 cakes per day, her total variable cost would be $300 ($1.50 per cake x 200 cakes x 3 mixers).
Her total cost would be the sum of the fixed cost and the variable cost, which is $800 + $300 = $1,100.
So her average total cost would be $1,100 ÷ 200 = $16.50 per cake.
Therefore, the best choice for Pat is to purchase 3 mixers.
