Cost Behavior; High-Low Method [LO2-4, LO2-5] Hoi Chong Transport, Ltd., operates a fleet of delivery trucks in Singapore. The c

ompany has determined that if a truck is driven 105,000 kilometers during a year, the average operating cost is 11.4 cents per kilometer. If a truck is driven only 70,000 kilometers during a year, the average operating cost increases to 13.4 cents per kilometer. Required: 1. Using the high-low method, estimate the variable and fixed cost elements of the annual cost of the truck operation. 2. Express the variable and fixed costs in the form Y = a + bX. 3. If a truck were driven 80,000 kilometers during a year, what total cost would you expect to be incurred?

Answer:

Y=4200+0.074X

At  activity level of 80,000 kilometers total cost is $10,120

Explanation:

Variable cost=(cost at higher activity-cost at lower activity level)/(vol. at higher activity level-vol. at lower activity level)

cost at higher activity  level=105000*0.114=$11,970

cost at lower activity level=70000*$0.134=$9,380

variable cost=($11,970-$9,380)/(105,000-70,000)

                     =$0.074

The cost function is Y=a+bX

where Y is total cost

a is fixed cost

b is the variable cost

X is the volume of output at a particular level of output

by substituting variable cost at higher activity level of 105000 units

$11,970=a+($0.074*105000)

$11,970=a+$7770

a=$11,970-$7,770

a=$4,200

Y=4200+0.074X

If 80,000 kilometers were driven during the year,the total cost is computed thus:

Y=$4200+($0.074*80000)

Y=$4200+$5920

Y=$10,120

Describe a real or made up but realistic example of a time when you might apply for a loan.
kicyunya [14]
Well people apply for loans when they need money for a certain goal. Like in the movie fantastic beasts and where to find them in the first part they are at a bank. The guy in their tries to get a loan so he can start a company as an entrepreneur. He wants to be able to own his own bakery so he could make cookies cakes and several other designs. Another reason people get loans is when their business is failing. Like the macys owner in the Florida Oviedo town mall took a few loans to help start up the company and pay to own the store their.  But it recently closed. Those are two examples of when people took a loan to either start or continue a buisness when money was short.
