Corris Co. accumulates the following data concerning a mixed cost, using miles as the activity level. Miles Driven Total Cost Ja

Sedbober [7]

Answer:

Variable cost per unit= $1.5

Fixed costs= $2,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Miles Driven Total Cost

January 10,000 $17,000

February 8,000 13,500

March 9,000 14,400

April 7,000 12,500

To calculate the variable and fixed costs under the high-low method, we need to use the following formula:

Variable cost per unit= (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost)/ (Highest activity units - Lowest activity units)

Variable cost per unit= (17,000 - 12,500) / (10,000 - 7,000)

Variable cost per unit= $1.5

Fixed costs= Highest activity cost - (Variable cost per unit * HAU)

Fixed costs= 17,000 - (1.5*10,000)

Fixed costs= $2,000

Fixed costs= LAC - (Variable cost per unit* LAU)

Fixed costs= 12,500 - (1.5*7,000)

Fixed costs= $2,000

ioda

Answer:

C. A business plan is a business’s roadmap for the future.

Explanation:

A business plan states formally the goals of the company; it shows the tasks that must be performed to reach those big goals and shows the financlal ways that could or should be used to accomplish the goals.

The business plan permits to understand how the business work and, thus, gives the basis for future actions. It is a tool of organization, direction, and communication, and the basis to develop a financial plan. In brief words: what the company wants to do and how it inteds do it.

A. Businesses do not need to document a business plan.

FALSE.

The business plan must be formal, not just an idea or view in the mind of the owners or managers, as such it must be documented.

B. Established businesses do not create a business plan.

FALSE.

Business plans change with time. As much as starting business, established business must periodically review the conditions and goals and update, or even importantly change the business plan.

C. A business plan is a business’s roadmap for the future.

TRUE.

Business plan gives direction, the ways to reach the goals, the tasks to be performed.

D. A business plan guarantees a business’s success.

FALSE.

Success is never guaranteed. Risk is intrinsic to all the human activities. Complexity of human interactions and changing circumstances do not permit to guarantee that a plan guarantees the success. That is why business plans must be revised and ajusted or changed to adapt the goals and the actions to be the most sucessfull possible, but without guarantees.
