There are three options for heating a particular house: a. Gas: $1.33/therm where 1 therm=105,500 kJ b. Electric Resistance: $0.

sergejj [24]

Answer:

Option ‘a’ is the cheapest for this house.

Explanation:

Cheapest method of heating must have least cost per kj of energy. So, convert all the energy in the same unit (say kj) and take select the cheapest method to heat the house.

Given:

Three methods are given to heat a particular house are as follows:

Method (a)

Through Gas, this gives energy of amount $1.33/therm.

Method (b)

Through electric resistance, this gives energy of amount $0.12/KWh.

Method (c)

Through oil, this gives energy of amount $2.30/gallon.

Calculation:

Step1

Change therm to kj in method ‘a’ as follows:

$C_{1}=\frac{\$ 1.33}{therm}\times(\frac{1therm}{105500kj})$

$C_{1}=1.2606\times10^{-5}$ $/kj.

Step2

Change kWh to kj in method ‘b’ as follows:

$C_{2}=\frac{\$ 0.12}{kWh}\times(\frac{1 kWh }{3600kj})$

$C_{2}=3.334\times10^{-5}$ $/kj.

Step3

Change kWh to kj in method ‘c’ as follows:

$C_{3}=\frac{\$ 2.30}{gallon}\times(\frac{1 gallon }{138500kj})$

$C_{3}=1.66\times10^{-5}$ $/kj.

Thus, the method ‘a’ has least cost as compare to method b and c.

So, option ‘a’ is the cheapest for this house.

Birdie Par owns a company that makes golf gloves. She is thinking about introducing a new glove, which would require an addition

melamori03 [73]

Birdie's company will make a profit of $30,000 if she sells 3,000 gloves at the $15 price.

Step-by-step Solution:

Break even point= fixed cost/ selling price - variable cost

here the fixed cost is= $20,000

selling price= $15 and variable cost = $5

BEP= 20,000/ 15-5= 20,000/10= 2000 units

b. if they sell 3000 gloves, the contribution profit will be

total revenue= 3000*$15= $45,000

contribution= selling price- variable cost, 15-5= $10 per unit

the profit is= 3000*$10= $30,000

What is variable cost?

A variable cost is one that varies in relation to either the volume of production or the number of services provided. There should be no variable costs if no production or services are provided. Variable costs should rise in tandem with increases in production or services.
