Ethan Manufacturing Inc. produces floor mats for automobiles. The owner, Joseph Ethan, has asked you to assist in estimating mai

ntenance costs. Together, you and Joseph determine that the single best cost driver for maintenance costs is machine hours. These data are from the previous fiscal year for maintenance costs and machine hours: Month Maintenance Costs Machine Hours 1 $ 2,750 1,840 2 2,910 1,920 3 3,060 2,000 4 3,170 2,020 5 3,250 2,050 6 3,220 2,030 7 3,160 2,010 8 3,000 1,990 9 2,770 1,850 10 2,370 1,250 11 2,380 1,450 12 2,600 1,740 Required: 1. What is the cost equation for maintenance costs using the high-low method? 2. Calculate the mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) for the cost equation you developed in requirement 1.

Answer:

Month       Maintenance      Machine     Equation       MAPE

                 costs                   hours          error (Abs.)

1                $2,750                1,840           $269            9.78%

2               $2,910                 1,920           $197             6.77%

3               $3,060                2,000          $135              4.41%

4               $3,170                 2,020            $47              1.48%

5               $<u>3,250</u>                <u>2,050</u>                0                 0%

6               $3,220                2,030             $8             0.25%

7               $3,160                 2,010            $46              1.46%

8               $3,000                1,990           $184             6.13%

9               $2,770                1,850           $260            9.39%

10             <u>$2,370</u>                <u>1,250</u>                  0                 0%

11              $2,380                1,450             $210           8.82%

12             $2,600                1,740            $309           <u>11.88%</u>

                                                                                    60.37%

variable cost per unit = (highest activity cost - lowest activity cost) / (highest activity units - lowest activity units) = ($3,250 - $2,370) / (2,050 - 1,250) = $880 / 800 units = $1.10 per unit

fixed cost = $3,250 – ($1.10 x 2,050) = $995

Cost model = $995 + $1.10X

2. Calculate the mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) for the cost equation you developed in requirement 1.

MAPE = 60.37% / 12 = 5.03%

19. An investor has purchased a property that is giving him a 10% rate of return. Potential gross rents total $10,000.00 a month
gogolik [260]

Answer:

the market value of the property is $628,300

Explanation:

The computation of the market value of the property is shown below;

Gross rent $10,000 × 12= $120,000

Now

= $120,000 ×  .92 (occupancy rate)

= $110,400

After that

= $110,400 - $47,570

= $62,830

And ,finally the market value of the property is

= $62,830 ÷ 0.10  

= $628,300

hence, the market value of the property is $628,300
