Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
From the table, we see that the production of 43 statues requires 5 workers.
The daily cost for the loan and workers is:
Loan cost = $10
Workers cost = $10/worker x 5 workers = $50
Total cost = Loan cost + Workers cost = $10 + $50 = $60
Therefore, the total cost of producing 43 statues is $60. The closest answer choice is D, $50.
