Answer 1

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of the unused resource capacity in energy and repairs for Tri-State Mill. is shown below;

For energy

= $6,900 - 6,000 × $0.90

= $6,900 - $5,400

= $1,500

For repairs

= $12,000 - 600 × $16

= $12,000 - $9,600

= $2,400

Hence, the unused resource capacity in energy and repairs for Tri-State Mill. is $1,500 and $2,400 respectively
