Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Month Number of instruments used Total autoclave cost

January 634 $7,466

February 534 6,526

March 734 7,148

April 934 9,028

May 834 7,744

June 1,034 8,596

July 1,234 10,009

August 1,134 9,924

<u>To determine the fixed and variable cost, we need to use the high-low method:</u>

Variable cost per unit= (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost)/ (Highest activity units - Lowest activity units)

Variable cost per unit= (10,009 - 6,526) / (1,234 - 534 )

Variable cost per unit= $4.9757 per unit

Fixed costs= Highest activity cost - (Variable cost per unit * HAU)

Fixed costs= 10,009 - (4.9757*1,234)

Fixed costs= $3,869

Fixed costs= LAC - (Variable cost per unit* LAU)

Fixed costs= 6,526 - (4.9757*534)

Fixed costs= $3,869

Total cost= 3,869 + 4.9757x

x= number of instruments

BaLLatris [955]

Answer: B

I think we can straight away get rid of answer choice c. From there, we can choose from either choice a or b. For repeatedly expressed, he hasn't been there enough times to prove it is repeatedly expressed, so I believe the main reason why he has a positive attitude is favorable outcome that he will receive the same treatment again.

The opportunity cost of an additional 100 dolls is 100 fire trucks. b The opportunity cost of an additional 100 dolls is 50 fire

SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

The correct answer is The opportunity cost of an additional 100 dolls increases as more dolls are produced.

Explanation:

The opportunity cost is understood as the cost incurred in making a decision and not another. It is that value or utility that is sacrificed for choosing an alternative A and neglecting an alternative B. Taking a path means that the benefit offered by the discarded path is waived.

In any decision taken there is an implicit waiver of the utility or benefits that could have been obtained if any other decision had been made.

For each situation there is always more than one way to address it, and each form offers a greater or lesser utility than the others, therefore, whenever one or the other decision is made, the opportunities and possibilities offered by the others will have been renounced, that may be better or worse (opportunity cost greater or lesser).

Which management theory was based on understanding each part of a task, selecting the right workers, providing adequate training

n200080 [17]

Answer:

Taylorism

Explanation:

Taylorism, often referred to as Scientific Management, was the first theory of management to focus specifically on analyzing and optimizing workflows. These theories of process optimization helped drive the Fordist shift to mass production which occurred in the early part of the 20th Century. Taylorism can be boiled down to 4 principal points: The method of doing a task should be informed by a scientific investigation of the task , employees should be selected and carefully trained for tasks ,tasks should have detailed instructions and should be subject to supervision and management should evaluate tasks and formulate optimized approaches for the workers to follow .

Some forms of analysis might be done by timing how long it takes a worker to do a task, others by weighing raw materials. Process analysis, for Taylor, had to look at both the minutiae of the process composition and the detail of the physical acts required to complete the process. The elements of process improvement Taylor advocated for were successful in regards to processing materials; changing the way steel was cut and patenting that process. Yet, during his life, Taylor struggled to achieve quite the same success improving the efficiency of workers. Taylorism was first scientifically understanding how the production process worked and then supporting the managers of a workplace to intimately train workers to work at maximum efficiency. This way, the means towards higher returns is paved with a well-managed, harmonious relationship between managers and workers. In theory, this would have been a much more sustainable model for an organization. But despite that promise, people, although genetically similar, are intrinsically unique and complex. Aligning different minds and ushering people to a new way of working (from individual craft, to standardized production), sometimes require more time and effort than bringing in a new piece of technology.
