Answer:

Y= 6000 + 0.75X

Explanation:

High and low cost technique

Using the a high and low technique, total cost can be analysed and separated into fixed and variable portion. This analysis helps in the forecast of cost and therefore important for the preparation of budget.

<em>Variable cost of maintenance</em>

= (Cost at high activity - Cost at low activity)/ (high activity - low activity)

VC per act. = ( $15000 - $12000)/(12,000-8000)

= $0.75 per activity

<em>Fixed cost of maintenance</em>

= Total cost at high activity - (VC per act × high activity)

= $15,000 - ( $0.75 × 12,000)

= $6,000

The cost formula will be:

Y= 6000 + 0.75X

Where Y = maintenance cost, X= level of activity

A piece of equipment was acquired on January 1, 2018, at a cost of $55,000, with an estimated residual value of $5,000 and an es

nalin [4]

Answer:

Book value 2020= $18,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Purchasing price= $55,000

Residual value= $5,000

Useful life= 5 years

First, we need to determine the depreciation expense for 2018 and 2019. We will use the following formula:

Annual depreciation= 2*[(book value)/estimated life (years)]

2018= 2*[(55,000 - 5,000)/5]= 20,000

2019= 2*[(50,000 - 20,000)/5]= 12,000

Book value 2020= 30,000 - 12,000

Book value 2020= $18,000

Over [174]

Answer: The dirty clothes, water and detergent

Explanation: Inputs are the resources that are put into the system to attain a desired output, that may have a value to someone. The output is the final commodity that one get at the end of the system.

If we see washing machine as a system then the cleaned clothes are the output from that system. The resources that are used to get the clothes cleaned such as dirty clothes, water and detergent are the inputs.

Hence from the above we can conclude that the correct option is A.

Assume that you can receive $500,000, $515,000, and $600,000 over a 3 year period and the present value of those sums at 8% is $

bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

present value = $500,000/1.08 + $515,000/1.08² + $600,000/1.08³ = $1,380,791.80

you calculated the present value correctly, assuming that you receive the annual payments at the end of each year (ordinary annuity).

but if you receive the annual payment at the beginning of the year (annuity due) = $500,000 + $515,000/1.08 + $600,000/1.08² = $1,493,255

it's not exactly the same value, but it is much closer and you could assume that the difference is due to rounding: ($1,493,255 - $1,495,370) / $1,495,370 = -0.1%

Answer:

Dr purchases $ 15,794.56

Cr notes payable $ 15,794.56

Explanation:

The present value of the annual payments of $4,600, starting in three years' time is computed as shown below:

PV of annual payments=$4600/(1+11%)^3+$4600/(1+11%)^4+$4600/(1+11%)^5+$4600/(1+11%)^6+$4600/(1+11%)^7+$4600/(1+11%)^8=$ 15,794.56

The amount of purchases and notes payable is $ 15,794.56

Which of the following is likely to occur as the result of the law of diminishing marginal utility? A. Petra's utility from he

Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

The correct answer is option C.

Explanation:

The law of diminishing marginal utility means that keeping other things at constant the marginal utility derived from the consumption of a commodity goes on declining with each additional unit of the commodity.

So, the marginal utility from the first unit will be highest, that from second unit will be lesser, that from third even lower and so on.

In the examples given above, Wesly's case is most applicable to this.

So, option C is the correct answer.
