Answer: Machine B because it has the lower Present Value

Explanation:

<h2>Machine A</h2>

= Present Value of income - Present Value of Costs

Present value of Income;

Sold for $5,000 after 10 years.

= 5,000/ (1 + 8%)^10

= $2,315.97

Present Value of Costs;

Purchased for $48,000.

Maintenance of $1,000 per year for  years.

Present value of maintenance= 1,000 * Present value factor of annuity,  10 years, 8%

= 1,000 * 6.7101

= $6,710.10

Machine A Present Value

= 2,315.97 - 6,710.10 - 48,000

= ‭-$52,394

<h2>Machine B</h2>

No salvage value.

Present Value of costs

Purchased for $40,000.

Present value of maintenance = (4,000 / (1 + 8%)^3)  + (5,000 / ( 1 + 8)^6) + (6,000 / ( 1 + 8%)^8)

= -$9,567.79

Present Value = -40,000 - 9,567.79

= -$49,568

Reptile [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is d. $0.31 per client-visit; $24,766 per month.

Explanation:

The costs can be of fixed nature or a variable nature or of a mixed nature. A mixed costs contains a component of both fixed and variable costs. The high-low method is used to calculate the variable component per unit of a mixed cost. Th formula for high low method is:

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

the highest activity is in June, 13400 client visits and the highest cost is also of this activity. The lowest activity is in August, 11207 client visits and the lowest cost belongs to this activity.

Variable cost per unit = (28920 - 28235)  /  (13400 - 11207)

Variable cost per unit = $0.31 rounded off to two decimal places

The fixed cost = Total cost - total variable cost

Taking 13400 activity,

The fixed component is = 28920 - (0.31 * 13400) = $24766 per month

Thus, the correct answer is d.
