Answer:
$480
Explanation:
Data provided in the question:
Machine Hours Repair Costs
2,400 $6,385
1,200 $3,480
2,000 $5,285
3,400 $8,980
Now,
Machine Hours Repair Costs
Highest 3,400 $8,980
Lowest 1,200 $3,480
Difference 2,200 $5,500
Unit variable cost = $5,500 ÷ 2,200
= $2.5
Total cost at high level = $8,980
Machine hours highest level = 3,400
Also,
Total cost at high level = Fixed cost + Variable cost at highest level
or
$8,980 = Fixed cost + [ $2.5 × 3,400 ]
or
Fixed cost = $8,980 - [ $2.5 × 3,400 ]
= $8,980 - $8,500
= $480
Answer:
$2,010
Explanation:
The future value of the savings account in 6 years can be computed using the below future value formula:
FV=PV*(1+r)^n
FV=unknown future amount
PV=current worth of the savings account=$1,200
r=annual interest rate=5%
n=number of years envisaged=6
FV=$1,500*(1+5%)^6
FV=$1,500*(1.05)^6
FV=$1,500*1.3400956
FV=$2,010
Answer:
