Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Month Number of instruments used Total autoclave cost
January 634 $7,466
February 534 6,526
March 734 7,148
April 934 9,028
May 834 7,744
June 1,034 8,596
July 1,234 10,009
August 1,134 9,924
<u>To determine the fixed and variable cost, we need to use the high-low method:</u>
Variable cost per unit= (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost)/ (Highest activity units - Lowest activity units)
Variable cost per unit= (10,009 - 6,526) / (1,234 - 534 )
Variable cost per unit= $4.9757 per unit
Fixed costs= Highest activity cost - (Variable cost per unit * HAU)
Fixed costs= 10,009 - (4.9757*1,234)
Fixed costs= $3,869
Fixed costs= LAC - (Variable cost per unit* LAU)
Fixed costs= 6,526 - (4.9757*534)
Fixed costs= $3,869
Total cost= 3,869 + 4.9757x

Answer:
20.1%
Explanation:
In capital asset prcing model (CAPM), cost of equity (or cost of retained earnings in this context) is calculated as below:
<em>Cost of equity = risk-free rate of return + beta x (market index return - risk-free rate of return)</em>
Please note that <em>(market index return - risk-free rate of return)</em> is equal to <em>market risk premium</em>
Putting all the number together, we have:
Cost of equity/retained earnings = 2.5% + 2.2 x 8% = 20.1%
<em>Note: The dividend growth rate, tax rate & stock standard deviation is not relevant in answering the question.</em>
Answer:
Sunk costs.
Explanation:
Sunk costs refers to historical funds spent or incurred that cannot be recovered. Such costs are considered irrelevant during decision making which impacts on the business's future as they present no influence on present or future prospects.
Example
ABC investors decide to acquire land and develop residential houses at a location X. This decision is informed on the fact that the government had recently enacted a policy that led to an increase in demand for residential properties in that location. 6 months into construction of the residential houses, the government reviews and rescinds the policy. This leads to a sharp decline in property values in location X. ABC investors had already incurred 10 million dollars in the project. The 10 million dollars is considered sunk cost.
Sunk costs are the opposite of relevant costs because they can't be changed or recovered, as they've been spent or contracted in the past already. Hence, relevant cost are relevant for decision-making purposes but not sunk costs.
Hence, money that has been or will be paid regardless of the decision whether to proceed with the project is sunk costs.
Currency I think. It's given in exchange for an item.
