Answer:

$2.159

Explanation:

Data provided:

Month            Machine hours            Utility cost

January            910                           $ 6,460

February          1,810                         $ 6,920

March               2,420                       $ 8,100

April                  610                           $4,580

Now,

The highest machine hours = 2,240

The lowest machine hours = 610

and,

The highest utility cost = $8,100

The lowest utility cost = $4,580

According to the high-low method, we have

Variable cost per unit

=( highest utility cost - lowest utility cost ) / ( highest machine hours - Lowest machine hours )

or

= ( $8,100 - $4,580 ) / ( 2,240 - 610 )

= $3520 / 1630

= $2.159

hence,

the estimated variable cost per machine hour is $2.159

VikaD [51]

Answer:

Nominal;nominal;real;the quantity theory.

Explanation:

Most economists believe that real economic variables and nominal economic variables behave independently of each other in the long run.

For example, an increase in the money supply, a nominal variable, will cause the price level, a nominal variable, to increase but will have no long-run effect on the quantity of goods and services the economy can produce, a real variable. The distinction between real variables and nominal variables is known as the quantity theory.

Snowcat [4.5K]
For the answer to the question above, I<u><em> believe the answer is </em></u><span><u><em>If Jason raises his price he would lose all his customers.</em></u></span>

Because a teenager could do that and he doesn't need an experience for lawn mowing and if you'll gonna increase your price. Be sure that you offer something additional or something special. A price hike in a competitive market is not good at all. Whether it's a big or a small business

asambeis [7]

Answer: I found the complete statement on google:

Jana is an action researcher who wants to better understand what predicts student success on the statewide standardized biology competency test. As her data sources, she administers the Biology Interest Survey (BIS) to all of her students, she categorizes students into two groups: those who have taken biology before and those who have not, and she also administers an in-class exam. The scores from the in-class exam are then 'curved'. She uses these data sources as a means to predict student performance on the statewide biology competency exam.

In Jana's study, the in-class biology exam is best described as:

a. an attitudinal measure.

b. a projective assessment.

c. an achievement test.

d. an aptitude test.

The correct answer is "c. an achievement test.".

This is because an achievement test allows us to know about who took biology before and who didn't, and their qualifications.
