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.

Accounting professors earn more than English professors at most universities. Explain this with a supply and demand graph.

I will assume here (since I don't have more information) that each school needs one English and one Accounting professor, but that more people are ready to teach English than accounting (this assumption might be wrong, but it's what think)

therefore the supply is bigger for the English professors than for the Accounting professors -this means that the accounting professors can ask for bigger salary (the bigger the supply, the smaller the prize)
