Answer: The variable cost per unit is 150, The mark up percentage on variable cost is 5%, The selling price is $192

Explanation:

To calculate variable cost per unit

= (40 + 25 + 15 + 70)

= 150

To calculate fixed cost per unit

(670,000 + 305,000 + 285,000)

=1,260,000

Fixed cost per unit

= Total Fixed cost ÷ Total unit produced

= 1,260,000 ÷ 30,000

= 42

To compute the total variable cost

=Total Variable cost = Total quantity of output × variable cost per unit of output

= 30,000 × 150

= 4,500,000

Total Cost

= TFC + TVC

= 1,260, 000 + 4,500,000

= 5,760,000

To compute the mark up percentage on variable cost

= profit/ cost price ×100

= 310,000/ 5,760,000 × 100

= 0.05 × 100

= 5%

To compute the product selling price using the variable cost method

= variable cost per unit + Fixed cost per unit

= 150 + 42

= 192

Therefore the selling price is $192 in order to cover the fixed cost.

Answer:

1. Variable cost per unit   = $150

2. Markup percentage     = 34.89%

3. Selling price                 = $202.33

Explanation:

Variable cost per unit = 70+40+25+15= $150

Fixed cost   =  670,000+ 305,000 +285,000= $1,260,000

Fixed cost per unit  =    1,260,000/30,000= $42

Profit per unit   =        <u>Targeted profit</u>

                               Targeted production unit

                          = <u>$310,000 </u>   =$10.33

                                30,000

Markup percenge =     <u>Fixed cost per unit + profit per unit</u>

                                          Variable cost per unit

                                =<u>$42+ $10.33</u>    =    <u>52.33 </u>* <u>100</u>   = 34.89%

                                       $150                   $150      1

Selling Price        =  Variable cost per unit + markup

                            =  $150+$42+$10.33

                             = $202.33

Variable cost-plus pricing is calculated by  determining variable costs per unit and adding mark-up which will cover fixed costs per unit and generate a targeted profit margin.

A mining company owns two mines, each of which produces three grades (high, medium, and low) of ore. The company has a contract
sashaice [31]

Answer:

They should operate Mine 1 for 1 hour and Mine 2 for 3 hours to meet the contractual obligations and minimize cost.

Explanation:

The formulation of the linear programming is:

Objective function:

C=200M_1+160M_2

Restrictions:

- High-grade ore: 6M_1+2M_2\geq12

- Medium-grade ore: 2M_1+2M_2\geq8

- Low-grade ore: 4M_1+12M_2\geq24

- No negative hours: M_1,M_2\geq0

We start graphing the restrictions in a M1-M2 plane.

In the figure attached, we have the feasible region, where all the restrictions are validated, and the four points of intersection of 2 restrictions.

In one of this four points lies the minimum cost.

Graphically, we can graph the cost function over this feasible region, with different cost levels. When the line cost intersects one of the four points with the lowest level of cost, this is the optimum combination.

(NOTE: it is best to start with a low guessing of the cost and going up until it reaches one point in the feasible region).

The solution is for the point (M1=1, M2=3), with a cost of C=$680.

The cost function graph is attached.

Which of the following statements is correct? ACars typically lose the most value in the first year after purchase. BHouses will
VashaNatasha [74]

I believe the answer is: A. Cars typically lose the most value in the first year after purchase

As the miles usage in cars increase, the quality of the machine tend to deteriorate, which would lead to the decrease in the cars' value. On top of that, the new model that given by car companies tend to possess better technology/design. On average, cars tend to lose 15 - 25 % in value during the first year.
