What is the total cost if BAPE purchases the t-shirts from the external supplier?

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

Total cost equals unit price multiplied by quantity purchased, plus any fixed or per-order charges, so we compute: total = (unit cost × quantity) + fixed cost.

Relevant knowledge points:
- Distinguish variable (unit) costs from fixed/order costs.
- Multiply unit cost by the number of units to get total variable cost.
- Add any fixed or one-time charges to obtain the final total cost.

Step-by-step reasoning (using the problem’s given data):
1. Identify the unit purchase price from the external supplier: $20 per t-shirt.  
2. Identify the quantity BAPE purchases: 1 t-shirt.  
3. Identify any additional fixed/order charge: $3 per order.  
4. Compute the variable cost: unit cost × quantity = 20 × 1 = 20.  (Intermediate step shown.)
5. Add the fixed charge: 20 + 3 = 23.  (Final arithmetic step.)

Why this is correct:
- The variable component accounts for the exact number of shirts (20 dollars for the single shirt).
- The fixed component ($3) is a one-time supplier/order charge that must be included in the total outlay.
- Summing these components gives the complete cash outflow to the external supplier.

Why other options (if presented) would be incorrect:
- Any answer that omits the fixed $3 charge underestimates the true total (would give 20).
- Any answer that multiplies the fixed charge incorrectly or double-counts the unit price would be too high.
- Since the scenario specifies one unit and a single fixed fee, 23 is the only value consistent with the given data.

Conclusion: Following the standard cost-summing procedure and the provided figures yields a total cost of 23, which matches the correct answer.
