expected to last for two months. Andretti Company has enough material on hand to operate at 25% of normal levels for the two-month
period. As an alternative, Andretti could close its plant down entirely for the two months. If the plant were closed, fixed manufacturing
overhead costs would continue at 35% of their normal level during the two-month period and the fixed selling expenses would be
reduced by 20% during the two-month period.

b. How much total fixed cost will the company avoid if it closes the plant for two months?
