Answer:

See explanation below

Explanation:

Given

-----------Actual ------------ Standard

Job Number -- Hours-- Costs-- Hours --Costs --Total Variance

A257 -- 220 -- $4,400 -- 225 --$4,500 --$100 Favourable

A258 -- 450 -- 9,450 -- 430 -- 8,600 -- 850 Unfavourable

A259 -- 240 -- 4,860 -- 240 -- 4,800 -- 60 Unfavourable

A260 -- 115 -- 2,070 -- 110 -- 2,200 -- 130 Favourable

Total variance $680 Unfavourable

To solve this, well need to calculate the actual labor rate per hour for all four jobs, and standard labor rate per hour which will be same for all jobs.

This is calculated as follows; Rate = Hours ÷ Costs

The table becomes

-----------Actual ------------ Standard

Job Number -- Hours -- Costs -- Rate -- Hours --Costs --- Rate ---Total Variance

A257 -------------- 220 -- $4,400 -- --20-------225 --$4,500 ----20-----$100 Favourable

A258 -- ------------450 -- 9,450 -------21-------- 430 -- 8,600 -----20-- 850 Unfavourable

A259 -------------- 240 -- 4,860 -----20.25------- 240 -- 4,800 ----20--- 60 Unfavourable

A260 -------------- 115 ---- 2,070 --------18------ 110 ------ 2,200 -----20----- 130 Favourable

Total variance $680 Unfavourable

A trucking company must deliver a product to a location 150 miles away. The company must pay the driver a wage of $14 per hour.
topjm [15]

Answer:

Speed of the truck should be 64.03 miles per hour to minimize the cost.

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Distance = 150 miles

Wage = $14 per hour

Cost of fuel = ( v² ÷ 250 )

Now,

Total time taken = Distance ÷ speed

= 150 ÷ v

Therefore,

Total cost, TC = Wage + Cost of fuel

= $14 × (150 ÷ v) +  ( v² ÷ 250 )

= \frac{2100}{v}+\frac{v^2}{250}

for point of minima differentiating with respect to 'v'

TC'(v) =  -\frac{2100}{v^2}+\frac{2v}{250} = 0

or

-\frac{2100}{v^2}+\frac{2v}{250} = 0

or

\frac{v}{125}=\frac{2100}{v^2}

or

v³ = 2100 × 125

or

v = ∛262500

or

v = 64.03 miles per hour

hence,

Speed of the truck should be 64.03 miles per hour to minimize the cost.
