Account analysis, high-low. Luwak Coffees wants to find an equation to estimate monthly utility costs. Luwak has been in busines

s for one year and has collected the following cost data for utilities:
Month January February March April May June July August September October November December Electricity Bill $ 720 $ 840 $1,098 $ 810 $1,176 $1,248 $1,044 $1,194 $1,260 $1,230 $1,188 $1,266 Kilowatt Hours Used 2,400 2,800 3,660 2,700 3,920 4,160 3,480 3,980 4,200 4,100 3,960 4,220 Telephone Bill $184.
1. Which of the preceding costs is variable? Fixed? Mixed? Explain.
2. Using the high-low method, determine the cost function for each cost.
3. Combine the preceding information to get a monthly operating cost function for the Stein Corporation.
4. Next month, Stein expects to use 400 machine hours, have 80 employees, and ship 9,000 units. Estimate the total operating cost for the month.

Answer:

Luwak Coffees

1. Water bill is fixed.  Electricity bill is variable.  Telephone bill is mixed.

2. High-Low method:

Water bill = $120 + 0q

Electricity bill = $0.3q

Telephone bill = $140 + $0.02q

where q = the quantity of each cost consumed.

3. Water bill = $120 + 0q

Electricity bill = $0.3q

Telephone bill = $140 + $0.02q

= $260 + $0.32q

4. No solution.  There is no relationship with machine hours, employees, and units with utility bills.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Month           Electricity Bill    Kilowatt Hours Used

January            $ 720                       2,400        

February          $ 840                       2,800

March             $1,098                       3,660

April                  $ 810                       2,700

May                 $1,176                       3,920

June               $1,248                       4,160

July                $1,044                       3,480

August           $1,194                       3,980

September   $1,260                       4,200

October        $1,230                       4,100

November    $1,188                        3,960

December  $1,266                        4,220

Telephone Bill $184.

Low cost = Jan  $ 720                2,400

High cost = December  $1,266         4,220

High cost = December  $1,266         4,220

Low cost = Jan                $ 720         2,400

Difference =                     $546         1,820

Variable cost per unit = $546/1,820 = $0.3 per kwh

Fixed cost, using December's figures:

Variable cost = $1,266

Fixed cost = $0 ($1,266 - 4,220 * $0.3)

Telephone bill:

High, June $197.60     2,880

Low, April     178.20      1,960

Difference $18.40        920

Variable cost = $18.40/920 = $0.02

Fixed cost = Total cost - Variable cost

= $197.60 - (2,880 * $0.02)

= $140

IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

c. a debit to Inventory for $10,000

Explanation:

Whenever goods are purchased on a discount to be received on payment basis, the inventory is first recorded at cost.

Also as per the general rule, discount is a kind of income, and incomes are recorded only when earned, therefore, the cost of inventory shall be reduced by 4% only when the payment is made, therefore the inventory on the date of purchase shall be recorded at $10,000 only and not for $9,600.

Thus, correct option is c

Darwin Inc. sells a particular textbook for $20. Variable expenses are $14 per book. At the current volume of 50,000 books sold
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

Fixed costs= $300,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Selling price per unit= $20

Variable expenses= $14

Break-even point in units= 50,000

<u>To calculate the fixed costs, we need to use the following formula:</u>

Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit

50,000= fixed costs / (20 - 14)

50,000*6= fixed costs

Fixed costs= $300,000

zlopas [31]

Answer:

A. Stockholders equity at the end is $493,000.

B. Closing total assets is $865,000.

C. Closing liability is $410,000.

Explanation:

A.  Closing total assets:

= Opening assets + increase in assets

= $845,000 + $177,000

= $1,022,000

Closing liability:

= Opening liability - Decrease in liability

= $600,000 - $71,000

= $529,000

Closing equity:

= Closing assets - Closing liability

= $1,022,000 - $529,000

= $493,000

B.  Opening equity:

= Opening assets - Opening liability

= $845,000 - $600,000

= $245,000

Closing assets:

= Opening assets + increase in liability - Decrease in equity

= $845,000 + $92,000 - $72,000

= $865,000

C.  Closing liability:

= Opening liability - decrease in assets - increase in equity

= $600,000 - $90,000 - $100,000

= $410,000

Two athletes of equal ability are competing for a prize of $10,000. Each is deciding whether to take a dangerous performance-enh
Degger [83]

Answer:

a) attached below.

b) for $x < $5000 will cause taking the drug to be part of the Nash equilibrium

c) will make the athletes feel better because the value their payoff will increase

Explanation:

<u>a) 2 * 2  payoff matrix  describing the decision faced by the athletes </u>

attached below

when both players take the drug the payoff for each player = $5000 - x

when neither player  takes the drug the payoff for each player = $5000

When only one player takes the drug his payoff = $10000 - x

<u>b) If we consider the value of $x to be involved in the Nash equilibrium then </u>

; $5000 - $x > 0  becomes the best response

hence for $x < $5000 will cause taking the drug to be part of the Nash equilibrium

c) Lowering the negative effect of the drug ( i.e. when the value of x is reduced )

will make the athletes feel better because the value their payoff will increase
