Answer:

Total cost= $1,193,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

May August

Maintenance hours 25,000 29,000

Maintenance cost $1,175,000 $1,247,000

First, we need to calculate the variable and fixed costs using the following formulas:

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

Variable cost per unit= (1,247,000 - 1,175,000) / (29,000 - 25,000)

Variable cost per unit= $18

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

Fixed costs= 1,247,000 - (18*29,000)

Fixed costs= $725,000

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

Fixed costs= 1,175,000 - (18*25,000)

Fixed costs= $725,000

Now, the total cost for 26,000 hours:

Total cost= 725,000 + 18*26,000

Total cost= $1,193,000

Answer:

(a)The implied cost of shortage per quart is = $4.75

(b) This could be viewed as reasonable figure, because is (approximately) equal to the loss per quart of strawberry.

Explanation:

Solution

Given that:

Mean =μ = 40

Standard deviation =σ = 6

Excess cost= Ce =$0.35

The amount ordered =S₀= 49

Thus

Z =(49 -40)/6

=1.5

Now

From the Table Z, we have the service level which is,

P(X <49 ) = P(Z < 1.5)

= 0.9332

Since we know that,

Service level (SL) =Cs/Cs+Ce

So,

0,9332 =Cs/Cs+0.35

Thus

0.9332Cs + 0.35* 0.9332 =Cs

0.0668Cs =0.32662

Hence

Cs = $4.75

(a) The implied cost of shortage per quart is = $4.75

(b) Therefore,this could be regarded as reasonable figure, because is (approximately) equal to the loss per quart of strawberry.

Yakvenalex [24]

(b) Statue of frauds

Statue of frauds is generally the requirement of particular contracts to be in writing and signed by all parties involved in an agreement. In the context of real estate, the statue of frauds protects tenants from unfair eviction or tenancy termination. Similarly, it protects property buyers from sellers’ “change of mind” or refusal to sell the property on the grounds that the seller obtained a higher offer price from another interested buyer. However, there are exemptions to the statue of frauds which vary from state to state.
