    Total cost per week = $3600

    The correct option is C.$3,600.

    Explanation:

    Given:

    Cost for constructing and purchasing the equipment for restaurant = $520,000

    Minimum return = 10% of investment

    Restaurant is opened = 52 weeks per year

    No. of meals = 900 meals/per week

    Cost of meal = $5

    Expense for material and electricity = $600

    Expense for weekly wages = $1000

    Fixed cost per week = ([520,000 (.10) ]/52) + 1000 = 2000

    Variable cost = 1000 + 600 = 1600

    Total cost = Fixed cost per week + Variable cost

    = 2000+1600 = 3600.

    Total cost per week = $3600
