c$6,600 per run = $165,000 in production run costs ÷ 25 total runs.
d$9,900 per test = $148,500 in quality costs ÷ 15 total tests.
e$620 per order = $46,500 in shipping costs ÷ 75 processed orders.
f$132,000 = $6,600 per production run x 20 runs for Wired.
g$59,400 = $9,900 per quality test x 6 tests for Wired.
h$31,000 = $620 per order shipped x 50 orders shipped for Wired.
i$5.00 = $700,000 total costs for Wired ÷ 140,000 units produced.
j$8.27 = $418,500 ÷ 50,000 units produced.
