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

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

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

Suppose a firm’s total revenue is $100 when it sells 10 units, and $110 when it sells 11 units. The firm, therefore, is a(n):

Andru [333]

Answer:

perfect competitor

Explanation:

Given:

Firm's total revenue when 10 units are sold = $100

Firm's total revenue when 11 units are sold = $110

Average Revenue = $\frac{\textup{Total revenue}}{\textup{Total units sold}}$

Average Revenue = $\frac{100}{10}$ = $10

and,

the marginal revenue = $110 - $100 = $10

Since,

the average revenue and the marginal revenue for the firm is equal,

therefore, the is a perfect competitor

Amanda [17]

<h2>Original offer becomes void (nothing).</h2>

user100 [1]

Answer:

Use the high-low method to determine Flower Hour's cost equation for van operating costs.

total cost = $1,355 + ($0.25 x total miles)

Use your results to predict van operating costs at a volume of 15,000 miles.

total cost (15,000 miles) = $1,355 + ($0.25 x 15,000) = $5,105

Explanation:

Month Miles driven Van Operating Costs

January 15,800 $5,460

February 17,300 $5,680

March 14,600 $4,940

April 16,000 $5,310

May 17,100 $5,830

June 15,400 $5,420

July 14,100 $4,880

high cost - low cost = $5,680 - $4,880 = $800

high cost - low cost = 17,300 - 14,100 = 3,200 miles

variable cost per mile = $800 / 3,200 miles = $0.25 per mile

total variable cost when driving 14,100 miles = 14,100 miles x $0.25 per mile = $3,525

total fixed cost = $4,880 - $3,525 = $1,355

total cost = $1,355 + ($0.25 x total miles)

total cost (15,000 miles) = $1,355 + ($0.25 x 15,000) = $5,105
