Answer:
c. difference between total variable costs and total costs at a particular activity level
Explanation:
The high low method consists of calculating costs on the basis of highest & lowest activity & comparing their corresponding total costs.
Variable cost per unit is found by : change in cost divided by the change in activity level for two points
Variable Cost per unit = <u>Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost </u>
Highest activity units - lowest activity units
Fixed Cost is thereafter calculated by subtracting Total Variable Costs from Total Cost
Fixed Cost = Highest Activity Total Cost - [ (Variable cost per unit) x (highest activity units)
Fixed Cost = Lowest Activity Cost - [ (Variable cost per unit) x (lowest activity units)]
Answer:
$0.5
Explanation:
A plant's fixed total overhead cost is $500,000 for a year
400,000 widgets are required to be produced for this period
All processes require a 40,000 machine hours and the widgets use 16,000 hours out of the total hours
The first step is to calculate the fixed overhead application rate
= $500,000/40,000
= $12.5 machine-hour
The fixed overhead that is applied to the widgets can be calculated as follows
= $12.5 × 16,000
= $200,000
Therefore, the fixed overhead that is applied to each of the widgets produced can be calculated as follows
= 200,000/400,000
= $0.5
Hence the fixed overhead that is applicable to each widgets is $0.5
Answer:
$120 billion
Explanation:
Economy operating at $300 billion above its natural level of output.
Marginal propensity to consume, MPC = 3/5 = 0.6
For closing this expansionary gap, the government have to decrease its spending by the amount calculated as follows:
Spending multiplier:
= 1/ (1 - MPC)
= 1/ (1 - 0.6)
= 1/ 0.4
= 2.5
Hence, the government spending reduces by
= Expansionary gap ÷ Spending multiplier
= $300 ÷ 2.5
= $120 billion
