Answer:

Total cost=10x^{2} dollars+\frac{168dollars}{x}

Explanation:

First at all, let's see the figure in the attachment where we define:

Width is "x", Lenght must be "2x" and Height is "h".

The volume of a rectangular storage container is defined as:  

V=lengh*width*height

So, replacing values, we have:

V=2x^{2} h

Considering that V=14m3 we can clear "h" in function of "x" (the width):

V=2x^{2} h=14; h=\frac{7}{x^{2}}

Now, we calculate the areas of the container:

Ax_{1} =x*h\\Ax_{2}=2x*h\\Ax_{3}=2x*x

Where: Ax1 is the side 1 area; Ax2 is the side 2 area and Ax3 is the base area

Replacing "h" on the previous equations, we have:

Ax_{1}=x*h=x*\frac{7}{x^{2} }=\frac{7}{x}\\Ax_{2}=2x*h=2x*\frac{7}{x^{2} }=\frac{14}{x}\\Ax_{3}=x*2x=2x^{2}

<em>Remember that the container is open at the top, so we have to calculate just one area in the base. The sides 1 and 2 are 2 of each one</em>.

So, we have: Total area = 2*Ax1 + 2*Ax2 + Ax3

Now for the total cost of materials, we have: Total cost=Cost (2*Ax1) + Cost (2*Ax2) + Cost (Ax3)

For the sides 1 and 2, we have a cost of:

Cost Ax_{1}=\frac{7}{x}m^{2} *\frac{4 dollars}{m^{2} }=\frac{28dollars}{x}\\Cost Ax_{2}=\frac{14}{x}m^{2} *\frac{4 dollars}{m^{2} }=\frac{56dollars}{x}\\Cost Ax_{3}=(2x^{2})m^{2}*\frac{5 dollars}{m^{2}}=10x^{2}dollars\\

Finally, total cost is:

Total cost=2*\frac{28 dollars}{x} + 2*\frac{56 dollars}{x} + 10x^{2} dollars\\Total cost=10x^{2} dollars+\frac{168dollars}{x}

Infinity Clock Company prepared the following static budget for the​ year: Static Budget ​Units/Volume 5 comma 000 Per Unit Sale
aalyn [17]

Answer:

a) Operating income - $33,800

Explanation:

<em>The flexible budget would be prepared for  a different activity level of 6,300 production units but using the assumptions of the fixed budget</em>

                                                                               $

Sales revenue - ($7× 6,300 units  )   :             44,100.00

Less Variable cost -      ($1 ×  6,300 units ) :      <u>( 6,300)</u>

Contribution                                                       37,800

Less Fixed costs                                                <u>(4,000)</u>

                                                                             <u>33,800</u>

<em>Note that the fixed costs of $4000 remains the same for both the static and flexible budgets. This is because the activity level of 6,300 units of the flexible budget remains within relevant range. So the fixed cost would not change.</em>
