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/False: the two most common means of acquisition are the entrepreneur's direct purchase of the firm's entire stock or assets
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

According to Thomas Duening and Robert Hisrich book "Technology Entrepreneurship: Taking Innovation to the Marketplace", the direct purchase has some problems: long-term capital gain to the seller and double taxation. The bootstrap purchase eliminates those problems: the acquiring company can acquire a small amount of the firm, 20 or 30% in cash and the remaining with a long-term note.
