Hoi Chong Transport, Ltd., operates a fleet of delivery trucks in Singapore. The company has determined that if a truck is drive

n 114,000 kilometers during a year, the average operating cost is 12.7 cents per kilometer. If a truck is driven only 76,000 kilometers during a year, the average operating cost increases to 14.8 cents per kilometer.
Required:
1.Using the high-low method, estimate the variable and fixed cost elements of the annual cost of the truck operation. (Do not round your intermediate calculations. Round the Variable cost per kilometer to 3 decimal places and Fixed cost answer to nearest whole dollar amount.)
2. Express the variable and fixed costs in the form Y = a + bX. (Do not round your intermediate calculations. Round the Variable cost per kilometer to 3 decimal places.)
3. If a truck were driven 95,000 kilometers during a year, what total cost would you expect to be incurred? (Do not round intermediate calculations.)

Explanation:

The computation of the fixed cost and the variable cost per hour by using high low method is shown below:

Variable cost per hour = (High Operating cost - low operating cost) ÷ (High driven in kilometers - Low driven in kilometers)

where,

High operating cost = 114,000 km × 12.7%

= $14,478

Low operating cost = 76,000 km  × 14.8%

= $11,248

So,

= ($14,478 - $11,248) ÷ (114,000 km - 76,000 km)

= $3,230 ÷ 38,000 km

= $0.085 per km

Now the fixed cost equal to

= High operating cost - (High driven in kilometers × Variable cost per km)

= $14,478 - (114,000 km × $0.085)

= $14,478 - $9,690

= $4,7882

2. The equation is as follows

Y = a + bx

So,

Total cost = $4,788 + 0.085X

3.

Y = a + bx

   = $4,788 + 0.085 × 95,000

   = $4,788 + $8,075

   = $12,863

Cash borrow  = 10500

so correct option is a. $10,500

Explanation:

given data

Ending cash balance = $16,000

Beginning cash balance = $19,500

expected cash receipts = $68,000

Cash disbursements = $82,000

solution

we know that Ending cash balance is express as

Ending cash balance = Beginning cash balance + Cash receipts - Cash disbursements + Cash borrow   .............................1

we get here Cash borrow put here value

$16,000 = $19,500  + $68,000 - $82,000 + Cash borrow

solve it we get

Cash borrow  = 10500

so correct option is a. $10,500

Suppose the civilian non-institutional population equals 250,000; there are 132,500 employed persons and 10,000 unemployed perso
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

107,500

Explanation:

The civilian non-institutional population can be divided into two groups;

1)Individuals in the labor force

11) Those not in the labor force

Those in the labor force will include the employed and the unemployed.

In the scenario, those in the labor force will be 132,500 employed persons and 10,000 unemployed persons.

I.e., 132,500 + 10,000 = $42,500

Those not in the labor force will be the population - those in the labor force.

I.e., 250,000-142,500= 107,500

Those not in the labor force will be 107,500
