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

Use the midpoint method when applicable to calculate the price elasticity of demand.
Neko [114]

Answer:

Follows are the solution to the given points:

Explanation:

In point a:

This business of plastic containers is increasing its Lunchbox Product Signature price around $3.00 and $4.00.   The volumes produced consequently declined around 20,000 to 15,000.

\text{Price elasticity} =  \frac{\frac{15000-20000}{(\frac{15000+20000}{2})}}{\frac{4-3}{(4+\frac{3}{2})}}

                        =\frac{\frac{-5000}{(\frac{35000}{2})}}{\frac{1}{(\frac{7}{2})}}\\\\=\frac{\frac{-5000}{17500}}{\frac{1}{3.6}}\\\\=\frac{\frac{-50}{175}}{\frac{1}{3.6}}\\\\= \frac{-0.2857}{0.2857} \\\\ =-1

The price elasticity also becomes unitary

In point b:

U.S. economic theory states that the elasticity of fuel demand is 0.5 because prices would be less than 1 and so are non-elastic.

In point c:

The capital Metro agrees and add $2.00 to $2.21 also for bus fares. Consequently, with an average of 70,000 drivers a days to both a daily average 61,000 drivers, its passenger numbers who take the bus in Austin falls.

\text{Price elasticity} = \frac{\frac{61000-70000}{(61000+ \frac{70000}{2})}}{ \frac{2.21-2}{(2.21+\frac{2}{2})}}

                        = \frac{\frac{-9000}{(61000+ 35000)}}{ \frac{0.21}{(2.21+1)}} \\\\= \frac{\frac{-9000}{(96000)}}{ \frac{0.21}{(3.21)}} \\\\= \frac{\frac{-9}{(96)}}{ \frac{0.21}{(3.21)}} \\\\= \frac{-0.1374}{0.099} \\\\ = -1.38

The value being higher than 1 is elastic.

Xavier and Shawn are co-owners of a party-planning business. They split all of the profits 50-50 and are able to make decisions
pshichka [43]

In this instance, Xavier and Shawn are general partners. In this arrangement, all partners are equally responsible for the business, meaning they are both liable for any financial loss. LLC would protect their personal assets from this type of claim. Obviously, this isn't a sole proprietorship because there is more than one owner.
