Answer:

B) $2,86

Explanation:

Using the high-low method we will use the highest activity level and the lowest activity level to determine the variable and fixed portion of the costs.

Highest activity - Cost $ 14182  Hours - 4200

Lowest activity - Cost $ (8748)   Hours - (2300)

Difference        -            $ 5434                 1900

Now we determine the variable portion. 5434/1900 = 2,86

Thus the answer is B.

Why is there so much government regulation involving social responsibility issues? Should there be less?
Lesechka [4]
I think genuine corporate social responsibility is very important, as long as it is not just lip service. When a company for example harvests a resource like trees or minerals then it is benefiting from the natural riches so should definitely be putting something back into the community and the natural environment not just say "log it mine it pave it" and ignore any adverse consequences.

viva [34]

Answer:

The answer is: The variable maintenance cost is $0.21 per machine hour

Explanation:

To find the variable maintenance cost per machine hour we must divide the total amount spent in maintenance costs by the total amount of production hours.

Since both production hours and maintenance cost vary so much, we must high-low method:

variable maintenance cost = (highest maintenance cost - lowest maintenance cost) / (highest machine hours - lowest machine hours)  =

= ($10,500 - $8,600) / (23,000 - 14,000) = $0.21 per machine hour
