Answer:
$2,583
Explanation:
The required value of your account at year 35 is:
$70,000 / 0.1 = $700,000
FV = $700,000. This is the required amount you need to have in your account 35 years from now
i/r = 10%. The interest that the account pays
n = 35 years
PV = 0
PMT (The amount of annual deposit required to achieve the target above. This is the missing value we need to calculate)
By using financial calculator, we obtain:
PMT = $2,583
Answer:
b) Considered to be a direct variable cost
Explanation:
Direct costs are expenditures that can be traced to a specific product, project, or service. It is a cost component that arises due to the production of a particular good or service as opposed to a general expense. Direct costs contrast indirect cost that covers a variety of items, such as administration.
Variable costs are the expenses that change with production volume. An increase in production leads to an increase in variable costs. Variable costs, therefore, have a direct relationship with the output level.
Belts, in this case, are a direct variable cost because
- The belt expense is traceable directly to the production of cars. It is a cost incurred only when a car is being produced.
- The cost varies with the number of cars produced. The expenses will change with changes in the production of cars.
