We are given the different rates and charges and is asked in the problem the unknown tax rate she pays on meals if the total cost of the trip is equal ot $420.04. In this case, the equation goes: 
80 x 3 + 80 x 0.1 x 3 + 80 x 0.09 x 3 + 109.3 x 1.15 + 109. 3 x z = 420.04
z = 0.08

Answer:

c. 8%

Explanation:

first find the total room cost, and the tax and tip.

80 x 3 = $240 - 3 night rate

240 x 0.10 = $24 - maid tip

240 x 0.09 = $21.60 - room tax

then find the tip on the food.

109.30 x 0.15 = $16.40 - food tip

add it all together and subtract that from the total.

240 + 24 + 21.6 + 109.3 + 16.4 = 411.30 - total without the food tax

420.04 - 411.30 = 8.74 - food tax

now check each of the answers against the amount for the food tax.

109.30 x 0.06 = 6.56

109.30 x 0.07 = 7.65

109.30 x 0.08 = 8.74

109.30 x 0.09 = 9.84

So, the answer is C. 8%

anzhelika [568]

Answer:

$17,500

Explanation:

The computation of the fixed cost and the variable cost per hour by using high low method is shown below:

Variable cost per hour = (High tutoring cost - low tutoring cost) ÷ (High service hours - low service hours)

= ($125,000 - $55,000) ÷ (4,300 hours - 1,500hours)

= $70,000 ÷ 2,800 hours

= $25

Now the fixed cost equal to

= High tutoring cost - (High service hours × Variable cost per hour)

= $125,000 - (4,300 hours × $25)

= $125,000 - $107,500

= $17,500

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Cindy's reasoning illustrates: <u>sunk-cost fallacy</u>.

<u>Explanation</u>:

The term fallacy refers to failure in reasoning and mistaken belief. A sunk cost is a cost incurred in the business that cannot be recovered. The cost invested in the business and lost is referred as sunk cost.

Sunk cost fallacy gives false hope to the people about their investment plan in business and makes them take wrong decision.

In the above scenario, Cindy invested $850,000 into the business. She faced loss continuously and lost her money. But she stills thinks on investing in her business instead of selling it.

Victryl Company applies overhead based on direct labor hours. At the beginning of the year, Victryl estimates overhead to be $70
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

The answer is: The overhead variance was $1,700 and it was overapplied

Explanation:

Victryl's estimated overhead cost per labor hour was:

$700,000 / 35,000 = $20 per labor hour

If during February, Victryl had 5,000 direct labor hours, then its estimated cost should have been: $20 x 5,000 = $100,000 estimated overhead cost

The actual overhead cost was $98,300, which is $1,700 less than the estimated cost.
