Answer:

correct option is b. $200,000

Explanation:

given data

Intercept = 40,000

Slope = 20

machine hours X = 8000

to find out

what is the predicted cost of equipment maintenance for April

solution

we will use here least square equation that  will be

Y = intercept + Slope ×  X      ............................1

here Y is cost of maintenance  and X is maintenance hours

so put here value we get from equation 1

Y = 40000 +  ( 20 ×   8000 )

Y = 40000 + 160000

Y = 200000

so  predicted cost of equipment maintenance for April is 200000

correct option is b. $200,000

At the high level of activity in November, 12000 machine hours were run and power costs were $22000. In April, a month of low ac
NISA [10]

Answer:

The estimated fixed cost element of power costs is $10,000

Explanation:

For computing the fixed cost first we have to calculate the variable cost per unit which is shown below:

= (High power cost -  low power cost) ÷ (High machine hours - low machine hours)

= ($22,000 - $15,000) ÷ (12,000 - 5,000)

= $7,000 ÷ 7,000

= $1

Now the fixed cost would be

= (High power cost) - (high machine hours × variable cost per unit)

= $22,000 - 12,000 × $1

= $22,000 - $12,000

= $10,000

Suppose that, instead of developing its Datsun line for emerging markets, Nissan simply sold its existing models in those market
mylen [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

(A) First Degree Price Discrimination

(B) it is regarded as a form of price discrimination because the current price at which Datsun models are sold, differs from the former price (the current price is half the original or former price).

Also, this is a deliberate action or business strategy taken by the Nissan automobile company so it is price discrimination.

(C) Nissan might choose this approach because (according to the question) there are emerging markets and the Datsun model of Nissan motors will soon go obsolete.

So since the first aim of a company is to make profit, instead of losing buyers of the old model completely, Nissan will sell the off at much lower prices.

(D) Yes, it will a success move if the company does not presently have the technology to adapt to the new or emerging market for different type or function of vehicles.
