Answer:

1. Variable cost is $0.061 or 6.1 cents per unit

  Fixed Cost is $12,654

2. Y = $12,654 + $0.061X

3. $21,316

Explanation:

1.

Cost at 171,000 km = 171,000 x $13.5/100 = $23,085

Cost at 114,000 km = 114,000 x $17.2/100 = $19,608

High low method separates the fixed cost and variable cost using net of Highest activity level and Lowest activity level and net of their relevant costs.

According to High low method

Variable cost per unit = ( Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost ) / ( Highest Activity - Lowest activity )

Variable cost per unit  = ( $23,085 - $19,608 ) / ( 171,000 - 114,000 )

Variable cost per unit  = $3,477 / 57,000

Variable cost per unit  = $0.061

Fixed operating cost = Total cost - Total Variable cost = $19,608 - ( 114,000 x $0.061 ) = $12,654

2.

Y = a + bX.

Y = Total cost

a = Fixed cost = $12654

b = Variable cost per unit = $0.061 or 6.1 cents

Y = $12,654 + $0.061X

3

Total Distance travelled = X = 142,000 km

Y = $12,654 + $0.061 ( 142,000)

Y = $12,654 + $8,662

Y = $21,316

Total Cost is $21,316

Pepsi [2]
Mike brought 100 shares costing $53 each.
Total costs of shares= 100*53
=$5300

He got dividends of $1.45 per share. A dividend is money that is earnt back from a share.
Total dividend amount = 1.45*100
=$145

I'm assuming that Mike sold his shares at the end of the year. He sells for $60 each.
Total sales amount=60*100
=$6000

The rate of return in this instance can be defined as the amount of money made back from a share.

Rate of return= total earnings/ costs

Total costs= $5300
Total earnings=$6145

6145/5300=1.1594
=15.9%

Hope this helps! :)

If we add successive laborers to work a given amount of land on a wheat farm, eventually:____.
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

d. the increases in wheat harvested will get smaller and smaller.

Explanation:

A marginal rate of technical substitution (MRTS) can be defined as an economic principle which is typically used to represent the rate at which a factor such as capital must decrease so that the same level or quantity of production is maintained when another factor such as labor is changed (increased).

An isoquant is the slope of a marginal rate of technical substitution (MRTS) which connects the two input factors provided that the level of output or production is the same.

Also, the diminishing marginal rate of technical substitution refers to the decline (fall) in marginal rate of technical substitution (MRTS) along an isoquant that produces the same quantity (level) of output.

When an isoquant has a diminishing marginal rate of technical substitution, the corresponding isoquants are convex to the origin. Thus, the marginal rate of technical substitution (MRTS) would continue to diminish as more of a factor such as capital is used.

If we add successive laborers to work a given amount of land on a wheat farm, eventually the increases in wheat harvested will get smaller and smaller.
