**Problem Context:**
Boise Company has total fixed costs of $500,000. Total fixed and variable costs are $642,300 at a production level of 165,000 units. The fixed cost per unit at a production level of 340,000 units is __________.
**Options:**
- A. $1.46
- B. $1.90
- C. $3.47
- D. $3.03
---
**Explanation:**
This question involves calculating the fixed cost per unit at a specified production level. Fixed costs remain constant regardless of the number of units produced, so when the production level increases, the fixed cost per unit decreases.
To calculate the fixed cost per unit at a production level of 340,000 units:
1. Identify the total fixed costs, which are given as $500,000.
2. Divide the total fixed costs by the new production level to find the fixed cost per unit.
\[
\text{Fixed Cost per Unit} = \frac{\text{Total Fixed Costs}}{\text{Production Level}} = \frac{500,000}{340,000}
\]
3. Solve the expression to find the correct option.
