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

Which of the following are true?
laiz [17]

Answer:

c. Payback is the amount of time to recover the initial investment. No discounting occurs and all cash flows after the payback period are not accounted for. The rule is intuitive and used by small business owners

Explanation:

Net present value is the present value of after tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.  The NPV does account for all cash flows as well as time value of money.

Internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested . The IRR does account for all cash flows.

The discounted payback period discounts cash flows

marta [7]
The answer is A. Multitasking. For three reasons: <span>You’re less productive. It is scientifically proven that there is no such thing as multitasking. You're simply switching from one task to another. When your brain tries to switch it needs to rethink about what its doing which wastes time. You sabotage your ability to do good work. Constantly switching from one thing to another means you can't focus on one specific thing. This often leads to mistakes which means you need to take extra time to fix it anyway. You squelch your creative juices. In other words when you go back and forth from one thing to another you're preventing your thoughts from developing into other thoughts. Which could potentially prevent a brilliant idea.Stay safe. Focus!
