svlad2 [7]

Answer:

variable cost per unit = 46

fixed cost 188680

Explanation:

The high-low method consist in compare each frame to get the variable and fixed components

5440 high

2040 low

3400 difference

437920 high

281520 low

156400 difference

variable cost =15600/3400

variable cost = 46

the reasoning is that the additional 3400 units generated that cost.

Now:

we múltiple by the units by the production and get total variable

46 * 2040 = 93840 total variable

lastly total cost - total variable = fixed

281520 - 93840 = 188680

andre [41]

Answer:

Explanation:

Which of the following options is a better purchase for a bicycle?

Bess [88]

Answer:

Option 3: $12 down with equal payments of $5 for 12 months

Explanation:

In option 1 :

The cost is $ 88,

In option 2 :

Down payment = $ 5,

Weekly payment = $ 8,

Number of weeks = 10,

So, the total cost = 5 + 8 × 10 = 5 + 80 = $ 85,

In option 3 :

Down payment = $ 12,

Monthly payment = $ 5,

Number of months = 12,

So, the total cost = 12 + 5 × 12 = 12 + 60 = $ 72,

In option 4 :

Down payment = $ 20,

Monthly payment = $ 20,

Number of months = 12,

So, the total cost = 12 + 20 × 12 = 12 + 240= $ 252

∵ 72 < 85 < 88 < 252

Hence, option 3 is better.
