Answer: Mixed
Explanation:
Here is the complete question:
Max Machining incurs the following utilities costs at different levels of production:
0 units: $120
500 units: $2,620
1,000 units: $5,120
How would utility costs be properly classified?
A) Curvilinear
B) Variable
C) Mixed
D) Fixed
E) Stepped
The utility cost here will be classified as a mixed cost. A mixed cost is a type of cost that has both fixed and variable cost. At 0 units, $120 was already spent. This shows that this cost is a fixed cost as it doesn't have anything to do with output. It'll still be paid regardless of the number of outputs while the other cost incurred are variable cost which is dependent on the number of outputs of goods.
Based on the explanation above, the answer is mixed cost.
Answer:
4.51
Explanation:
We have to calculate fva. The future value of annuity
Here is the formula
Fva = A [( + I)^n-1/I]
Where a = annuity
I = interest rate
N = number of years
Inserting into formula
1[(1+0.08)^4 - 1/0.08]
= 1[(1.36049 - 1)/0.08]
= 4.51
Therefore the future investment is $4.51
No, it would cost $210.
Each hour charges $40. 4 hours alone is $160.
On top of that, calling the electrician is a flat rate of $50. In total, it would cost $210.
More mathematically, you could set up an equation.
(Price) = $50 + $40 * (hours)
Then plug in 4 hours
price = 50 + 40*4
= 50+160
= 210
