Answer:

The Estimated variable cost per machine hour for utilities is $2.50

Explanation:

High low method segregates the variable cost and fixed from the total cost using highest activity data and lowest activity data.

According to given data

Month   Machine hours   Utility cost

January         900               $5,450

February       1,800             $6,900

March            2,400            $8,100

April               600               $3,600

Using formula of High Low method

Variable cost = ( Cost of Highest activity - Cost of lowest activity ) / ( Highest activity - Lowest activity )

Variable cost = ( $8,100 - $3,600 ) / ( 2,400 - 600 )

Variable cost = $4,500 / 1800

Variable cost = $2.5

Fixed Cost = $8,100 - ( 2,400 x 2.5 ) = $8,100 - $6,000 = $2,100

The terms of trade must be higher (graphically to the right) of a nation's own production __________________
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer: cost ratio

Explanation: The terms of trade must be higher (graphically to the right) of a nation's own production cost ratio. The production cost ratio allows small-scale manufacturers to determine their cost more accurately as well as control known cost parameters and is a method that can be adapted and applied to any business.

In a multi-product manufacturing firm, the production cost ratio is necessary for accurate compilation and allocation of production costs to each category of product especially when both the Production Time and the Production Runs are not the same and/or when fixed labor, overhead and other costs are drawn from the same pool. When the ratio is not applied results in a skewed allocation of production costs. This in turn can affect the business as it becomes difficult to ascertain the products whose production are more profitable to the business.

Anastasy [175]

Here, we are decide the best option between making the part or buying the part.

a.                  Make or Buy Analysis

Particulars                              Make amount    Buy amount

Direct Materials                            $4.50

Direct Labor                                $1.00  

Overhead (80% of Direct Labor)    $0.80  

Cost to buy                            <u>              </u>            <u>$4.70</u>

Cost per unit                              <u>$5.70    </u>          <u>$4.70</u>

Cost Difference = $5.70 - $4.70

Cost Difference = $1.00

Therefore, the cost difference of making amount over buying amount is $1.00.

b. Because of the difference, Beto should buy the part because its cost is lesser than to make the part.

Therefore, the buying of the part is the best decision.
