Answer:

2017:

Total variable cost= $600,000

Total fixed cost=  $1,900,000

2018:

Total variable cost= $800,000

Total fixed cost= $1,900,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

The factory opened in 2014, and by the end of the year, they had made 30,000 batteries for a total cost of $2,500,000. In 2015, they made 40,000 batteries for an additional cost of $200,000.

I will assume that the fixed costs remain constant in both years.

We can calculate the variable cost per unit using the incremental cost.

Variable cost per unit= incremental cost/incremental units

Variable cost per unit= 200,000/10,000= $20

Now, we can calculate the fixed costs:

2017:

Total variable cost= 30,000*20= $600,000

Total fixed cost= 2,500,000 - 600,000= $1,900,000

2018:

Total variable cost= 40,000*20= $800,000

Total fixed cost= $1,900,000

Answer:

$2.25

Explanation:

Please check the attached image for the full question used in answering this question

Breakeven sales is the quantity sold at which net income is equal to zero.

Breakeven sales = fixed cost / (price per unit - variable cost per unit )

$1,215,000 / ($80 - $35) = 27,000

If Highway 55 Studios can reduce fixed expenses by $60,750, variable cost =

27,000 = ($1,215,000 - $60,750) / ($80 - V)

27,000 = 1,154,250 / ($80 - V)

V = $37.25

Variable cost would increase by  : $37.25 - $35 = 2.25

Suppose the price of gasoline decreases from $4.20 to $2.00, and in response quantity demanded increases from 10600 to 11200. Us
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

0.079

Explanation:

Price elasticity of demand using midpoint formula can be calculated as follows

Formula

Elasticity of demand = (change in quantity/average quantity)/(change in price/average price)

Calculation

Elasticity of demand = (600/10,900)/(-2.1/3.05)

Elasticity of demand =-0.055 / -0.688

Elasticity of demand =-0.079

working

Change in price (2-4.1) = -2.1  

Average price (2+4.1)/2=3.05

Change in quantity (11,200-10600) = 600

average quantity (11,200+10,600)/2 = 10,900

 

The elasticity of demand is inelastic as the elasticity is below 1.
