Answer: cost of plastic = $168,000

excess cost = $3000

Explanation: This can be done as follows :-

cost of plastic  = (standard quantity per * (standard price     * ( no. of helmet)

should been          helmet)                             per kg of plastic)

incurred              

                        = (0.6) * (8) * (35,000)

                       = $168,000

so the extra cost incurred is $3000 that is $171,000 - $168,000  .
