Answer:

Fixed cost in an organization does not change and is fixed while the variable cost keep changing if the production is increased.

Explanation:

Fixed cost are said to be that cost which does not change with production level for a certain limit. Let us suppose there is no change in the rent amount if we have only factory for the production of goods.

But the variable cost are those cost which increases as production increases. More will be the variable cost when the production will be more. Also for per unit basis, the variable cost remains the same.

Fixed cost are not important in decision making if there is an excess of capacity available.

For example,

Direct labor, direct material -- variable cost

Salary of supervisor, rent of factory -- fixed cost

Even though there is not much change in the variable cost, like for suppose material price increases, a company can still make a budget that is based on the past experience and predicting the market prices. Similarly, if there is a machine that uses three units of direct material for a piece if finished product, which is not going to change in the future. Thus the company can make a budget.

Swansea Finishing

Variable cost of goods sold = Variable manufacturing costs × Units Sold

Variable manufacturing costs $23.00

Units sold $1,800

$23.00 × 1,800 units

= $41,400

Therefore the cost of goods sold using variable costing is $41,400

A wire having a mass per unit length of 0.440 g/cm carries a 1.50-A current horizontally to the south. (a) What is the direction
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

B = 0.287  Tesla

According to thumb rule the direction of magnet is to the east.

Explanation:

F = BiL sin∅

note that F = mg

B = magnetic field

i = current

therefore,

mg = BiLsin∅

Make B subject of the formula

B = mg/iLsin∅

m/L = mass per length of the wire and it is given in gram per centimeter . It should be converted to kg per meter.

m/L = 0.440 g/cm

convert to kg/m = 0.440 × 0.001 kg × 100 m = 0.044  kg/m

B = 9.8 × 0.044 / sin 90 × 1.50 × 1

B = 0.4312/ 1.50

B = 0.28746666666

B = 0.287  Tesla

According to thumb rule the direction of magnet is to the east.

Price Elasticity of Supply. The price elasticity of supply is calculated as the percentage change in quantity divided by the percentage change in price.
 Using the Midpoint Method
 PES = ((Q2-Q1) / ((Q2 + Q1) / 2)) / ((P2-P1) / ((P2 + P1) / 2))
 PES = (((10) - (7)) / (((10) + (7)) / 2)) / (((50) - (40)) / (((50) + (40)) / 2))
 PES = 1.59
 the elasticity of beth's labor supply between the wages of $ 40 and $ 50 per hour is approximately 1.59
 In this case, to 1% rise in price causes an increase in quantity supplied of 1.59%
