​$480 a per month​ (on an annual​ basis). Under this​ plan, the cost per mile is ​$0.04.

Answer:

$24,000

Explanation:

For computing the least number of miles first we need to calculate the total annual costs for both the plans that are shown below:

For leasing: 

Fixed monthly cost = $480

So, yearly cost = $480 ×  12 = $5,760

Cost per mile = $0.04

Let x is the miles driven

So, the equation would be

= $5,760 + 0.04x ........................... (1)

Now In case of purchasing:

Fixed yearly cost = $4,800

Cost per mile = 0.08

The equation would be

= $4,800 + 0.08x ......................... (2)

Now equate these equations

So,

Cost of leasing ≤ Cost of purchasing

$5,760 + 0.04x ≤ $4,800 + 0.08x

$960 ≤ 0.04x

$24,000 ≤ x

Volgvan

Answer: The correct answers are "The general level of stock prices" and "The effect of the tax rate on the cost of debt in the weighted average cost of capital equation".

Explanation: The general level of stock prices and the effect of the tax rate on the cost of debt in the weighted average cost of capital equation are outside from firm's control because although companies have knowledge of the market, the general level of stock prices is not controlled by them, but by the market. And the effect of the tax rate is not controlled by companies because the tax rate is set by the state.

kenny6666 [7]

This helps to get an accurate estimate of the cost of that activity or task and is mostly applied in <em>activity-based costing system</em>. Different activities may require different cost pools.

The activities below are thus classified accordingly:

1. Labelling and Packaging - <em>Batch Cost Pool</em>

2. Plant Security - <em>Facility Level Cost Pool</em>

3. Sales Commission - <em>Product Cost Pool.</em> (This is incurred in selling the product and so must be pre-built into the price of the product.

4. Supplies - <em>Unit Level Cost Pool </em>(Supplies are incidental items that are expected to be consumed in the near future. Examples are paper clips that you use in the daily workings of the business. Supplies are differ from Materials which refer to the raw stock from which finished goods are made. Examples of material are raw materials, components, sub-components, and production supplies. Materials would go under Product Cost Pool.
