Variable cost = $108,000

Fixed cost = $10,000

Explanation:

Variable cost per unit = Variable cost for producing 16,000 units / Total number of units

                                  = $96,000 / 16,000 units

                                 = $6

Therefore,

Variable cost (18,000 units) = Units produced * Variable cost per unit

                                             = 18,000 units * $6

                                             = $108,000

As the fixed cost does not vary with the number of units produced, total fixed cost shall remain unchanged.
