Answer:
c. difference between total variable costs and total costs at a particular activity level
Explanation:
The high low method consists of calculating costs on the basis of highest & lowest activity & comparing their corresponding total costs.
Variable cost per unit is found by : change in cost divided by the change in activity level for two points
Variable Cost per unit = <u>Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost </u>
Highest activity units - lowest activity units
Fixed Cost is thereafter calculated by subtracting Total Variable Costs from Total Cost
Fixed Cost = Highest Activity Total Cost - [ (Variable cost per unit) x (highest activity units)
Fixed Cost = Lowest Activity Cost - [ (Variable cost per unit) x (lowest activity units)]
Answer:
The present of worth of machine operating cost is $ 228,061.55
Explanation:
In calculating the present worth of the machine operating cost,I grew the cost of $34000 per year from year 3 onwards by 6% , thereafter I discounted the increased machine operating cost with the applicable discount factor in each year as shown in the attached spreadsheet.
Answer:
Price elasticities of demand and supply
Explanation:
Tax is a compulsory amount levied on goods and services by the government or an agency of the government.
taxes increases the prices of goods and services
Deadweight loss of tax refers to a reduction in quantity demanded and supplied as a result of tax.
Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.
Price elasticity of supply measures the responsiveness of quantity supplied to changes in price of the good.
If demand or supply is elastic, the deadweight loss of tax is higher. If demand or supply is inelastic, the deadweight loss of tax would be lower.
Answer:
Total assets $
Building 102,100
Motor vehicle 19,907
Furniture <u>10.442</u>
Total assets <u>132,449</u>
<u></u>
Total liabilities $
Mortgage loan 58,347
Outstanding loan 2,567
Utility bills unpaid <u>242</u>
Total liabilities <u> 61,156</u>
Debt ratio = Total liabilities x 100
Total assets
Debt ratio = $61,156 x 100
$132,449
Debt ratio = 46.17%
Explanation:
In this case, there is need to calculate the total assets, which is the aggregate of building, motor vehicle and furniture.
We also need to calculate the total liabilities, which is the aggregate of mortgage loan, car loan outstanding and utility bills unpaid.
Debt ratio is obtained by dividing total liabilities by total assets multiplied by 100.
