Answer:

5,11 pounds of Costa Rican coffee and 64,89 pounds of Kenya coffee

Explanation:

First, we need to know the proportion of every coffee in the mix trying with different percentages until getting the result of $13,49  

 

($9,50*25%)+($13,80*75%)=$12,73  

 

($9,50*10%)+($13,80*90%)=$13,37  

 

($9,50*7,5%)+($13,80*92,5%)=$13,48  

 

($9,50*7,3%)+($13,80*92,7%)=$13,49  

 

So, the percentage of Costa Rican coffee is 7,3% and Kenya coffee is 92,7%  

And we can get the pounds required to get 70 pounds  

 

70*7,3%=5,11

 

70*92,7%=64,89

   

We need 5,11 pounds of Costa Rican coffee and 64,89 pounds of Kenyan coffee to create 70 pounds of mixed coffee that can sell for $13,49 per pound

A factory currently manufactures and sells 800 boats per year. Each boat costs $5,000 to produce. $4,000 of the per-boat costs a
spayn [35]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Variable costs are incurred only when a boat is manufactured such as material and direct labor. Thus variable costs will remain unchanged since it will costs the exact same amount to manufacture another identical boat. If it costs $4,000 in material and direct labor to manufacture boat A it will cost $4,000 to manufacture boat B. Fixed costs are sunk costs that will be incurred whether they manufacture 800 or 1,000 boats per year. The rent and admin costs will remain unchanged no matter how many boats are manufactured. But the fixed cost per boat will change. The total fixed costs are $80,000 (800 boats x $1,000 per boat fixed cost). If the manufacturing rate is increased to 1,000 boats per year, the per boat fixed cost will decrease to $800. Fixed costs remain at $80,000/1,000 boats = $800.
