Answer:
B : a 20% increase in variable costs
Step-by-step explanation:
Here the industry is seeing a 20% increase in activity levels over the fourth quarter. Since, there has been an increase in activity levels the fixed cost would remain the same but the variable cost being variable would increase with increase in production activity in same proportion as the increase in production.
B : a 20% increase in variable costs
Answer:
Linear, y=6x-21
Step-by-step explanation:
Graph the answer to get an idea of the shape: linear.
Use y=mx+b and m=y2-y1/x2-x1 to find formula
m=y2-y1/x2-x1=3-(-9)/4-2=12/2=6
y=6x+b
9=6(5)+b
9-30=b=-21
y=6x-21
Well, if you disregard the signs for a second, you can work this like a normal equation:
-6 - 12v = 90
-12v = 96
v = 8
Now just reincorporate the less than sign:
v < 8
