Answer:

Instructions are listed below

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

The high-low method involves taking the highest level of activity and the lowest level of activity and comparing the total costs at each level.

Mountain has recorded the following for the past nine months:

January:

Number of Cavities= 375

Total cost= $5,300

February:

Number of Cavities  500

TC= 5,850

March

Number of Cavities 350

TC= 5,200

April

Number of Cavities 600

TC=6,250

May

Number of Cavities 325

TC= 5,150

June

Number of Cavities 475

TC= 5,700

July

Number of Cavities 525

TC= 6,100

August

Number of Cavities  575

TC= 6,300

September

Number of Cavities  450

TC= 5,550

A) Variable cost= (Highest activity cost - lowest activity cost) / (Highest activity units - lowest activity units)

Variable cost= (6300 - 5150) / (600 - 325)= 4.18 per unit

Fixed cost= HACost - (variable cost per unit * HAUnits)= 6300 - (4.18*600)= 3792

Fixed cost= LACost - (variable cost per unit* LAUnits)= 5150 - (4.18*325)= 3792

B)  Q= 400

Total cost= 3792 + 4.18*400= $5464

True or False: In the long run, this increase in health care benefits will make faculty positions less attractive than other job
Kamila [148]

Answer:

true

Explanation:

In simple words, the increase in health care benefits that most of the multinational companies provide to their employees will ultimately leads too less affection towards faculty jobs.

This is due to the fact that the cost health care has been increasing day by day and its hard to maintain a decent life style with a necessary service getting that expensive.

Thus, corporate jobs are more attractive than faculty ones as they provide more assurance to the individuals that they will not be financially destroyed due to medical services.

The marginal benefit of another T-shirt this month to Mary is $15. If the $10 price of a T-shirt reflects its marginal cost to M
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is option d.

Explanation:

The marginal benefit of another T-shirt is $15. The price of the T-shirt is $10.  

The marginal cost is equal to the price, so it is also $10.  

The marginal benefit earned from the T-shirt is greater than the marginal cost incurred on a T-shirt.  

According to economic reasoning, it is profitable to buy another T-shirt. So, Mary will buy another T-shirt this month.
