8 0

Answer:

Instructions are listed below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Data for the past 8 months were collected:

Month Labor Cost Employee Hours

January $7,000  360

February $8,140 550

March $9,899 630

April $9,787 610

May $8,490 480

June $7,450 350

July $9,490 570

August $7,531 310

Total Labor Cost = $5,237 + ($7.40 x Employee Hours)

1) To calculate the variable cost we need to use the following formula:

Variable cost per unit= (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost)/ (Highest activity units - Lowest activity units)

Variable cost per unit= (9,899 - 7,000) / (630 - 310)= $9.06 per unit

2) Fixed costs= Highest activity cost - (Variable cost per unit * HAU)

Fixed costs= 9,899 - (9.06*630)= $4,191

Fixed costs= LAC - (Variable cost per unit* LAU)

Fixed costs= 7,000 - (9.06*310)= $4,191

3) direct labor hours= 4,000

Total Labor Cost = $5,237 + ($7.40 x Employee Hours)

Total Labor Cost= 5,237 + (7.4*4,000)= $34,837

AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

d. The cost of the parking permit is part of the opportunity cost of attending college if you would not have to pay for parking otherwise.

Explanation:

Opportunity cost is a microeconomic concept used to describe how much an economic agent fails to earn in one economic activity by employing money in another economic activity. Thus, all expenses that a student performs to study at the university, including tuition, gasoline, parking, material, and time spent on the activity, is considered an opportunity cost, since all of this could be spent on another activity.

Onofkp411 Corporation has a time contraint on one of its special machines. The company makes three products that use this machin
marta [7]

Answer: $7.20 per minute

Explanation:

Find out the profitability of each product as Contribution Margin per minute.

Magnifico

Contribution margin per minute = (Selling price - Variable cost) / minutes on the constraint

= (335.18 - 259.26) / 7.5

= $10.12 per minute

Bellissimo

= (228.46 - 173.08) / 4.3

= $12.88 per minute

Lovely

= (199.21 - 159.61) / 5.5

= $7.20 per minute

Their least profitable product is $7.20 per minute.

The machine does not have sufficient time to satisfy the needs of Lovely so they will have to pay more to acquire more of the resource but they should not pay anything more than $7.20 per minute as this is their contribution margin for the product. and anything more would result in a loss.
