Answer: c. Allocated fixed cost, $230,000

Explanation:

The Allocated fixed cost is fixed based on a certain level of production. If Polson had excess capacity to produce more goods or no excess capacity, the allocated fixed costs would have to be treated differently to account for this.

The variable costs however would not have to change because they are already based on the quantity of goods produced so even if there is excess or no excess capacity, their cost per unit would not change.
