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

The question is incomplete:

McDonald's serves McRice Burger in Malaysia, McOZ Burger in Australia, Kiwi Burger in New Zealand, McHuevo Burger in Uruguay and McSamurai Burger in Thailand. These menu variations are examples of a:

a. A combination of global and local marketing mix elements

b. a selection of menu items that can be sold eventually in U.S. markets

c. A replacement of standard menu names with fancy names

d. a deviation from successful marketing practices

e. a reflection of failure of US menu items in those countries

Answer:

a. A combination of global and local marketing mix elements

Explanation:

The answer is that these menu variations are examples of a combination of global and local marketing mix elements  because the company tries to position its products on a global scale but also adjusts its strategies locally to adapt the placement and distribution to the specific characteristics of each country.

The other options are not right because McDonalds is adjusting its offer in its market to be able to establish its position in that market and not to be able to sell the items in US markets or to replace standard menu names. Also, this is the result of analyzing how to better position in a new market and not a failure of US menu items in those countries.
