Answer:
"34,814" is the correct solution.
Step-by-step explanation:
The given values are:
Intercept coefficient,
[tex]\beta_0 = 23,859[/tex]
Production coefficient,
[tex]\beta_1 = 3.13[/tex]
Units sold,
x = 3,500
Now,
The total cost will be:
⇒  [tex]\bar{y}=\beta_0+\beta_1 x[/tex]
On substituting the estimated values, we get
⇒   [tex]=23,859+3.13\times 3,500[/tex]
⇒   [tex]=23,859+10,955[/tex]
⇒   [tex]=34,814[/tex]
