Erin collides her 940-kg Mazda Miata into the rear of a 2460-kg pick-up truck which was at rest at the light on Lake Avenue. The
1 answer:
Answer:
3.46 m/s
Explanation:
This is actually a Physics question and not a Business question.
According to the property of conservation of momentum, the speed of the Mazda before the collision multiplied by the mass of the Mazda must equal the speed after the collision multiplied by the mass of both cars:
The post-collision speed of the two entangled cars is 3.46 m/s.

Answer:
1) The total cost of production (TC) is $32,802.
2) The variable cost per unit is $9/unit.
3) Cost equation:
4) TC=$35,145
5) TC=$33,702
6) Difference=$1,443
The appropiate approach is using the cost function, because its differentiates the cost that are fixed and not dependant of the volume of production, and the variable cost, that are proportional to the quantity produced.
Explanation:
1) The total cost of production can be calculated as the product of the cost per unit ($23.43/unit) and the total ammount of units (1,400 units):
The total cost of production (TC) is $32,802.
2) The fixed cost (FC) are $20,202, so the variable cost are:
This is the variable cost for 1,400 mailboxes, so the unit variable cost is:
The variable cost per unit is $9/unit.
3) The equation of cost can be written as:
4) If it uses the average cost tot predict the cost of 1,500 mailboxes, he will get:
5) If he uses the cost function, he will get
6) The dollar difference between the two estimates is:
The appropiate approach is using the cost function, because its differentiates the cost that are fixed and not dependant of the volume of production, and the variable cost, that are proportional to the quantity produced.
The average cost per unit is not constant for every quantity and the error will increase if the quantity is much different from 1,300 units.
