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

Wall -to- wall records' April 1 inventory had a cost of $48,000 and a retail value of $70,000. During April, net purchases cost
algol13

Answer:

<u>The correct answer is that the cost of the ending inventory using the retail inventory method is US$ 100,962</u>

Explanation:

Wall-to-Wall Records

                                        Cost          Retail

Beginning Inventory $ 48,000 $ 70,000

Purchases                     $ 210,000       $ 390,000

Cost of Goods Available for Sale $ 258,000 $ 460,000

Cost to Retail Ratio

= $ 258,000 ÷ $ 460,000

= 0.5609 = 56.09%

                                                    Cost            Retail

Cost of Goods Available for Sale $ 258,000   $ 460,000

− Sales                                                                 $ 280,000

Ending Inventory                                          $ 180,000

× Cost to Retail Ratio                                    0.5609

<u>Ending Inventory                           $ 100,962 </u>

At a price of $0.50, how many more or fewer cups of lemonade do caroline and emily sell when the temperature is 60 degrees than
djverab [1.8K]

At a price of $0.50, the amount of cups of lemonade that Caroline and Emily sell when the temperature is 60 degrees than when the temperature is 80 degrees is <u>-</u><u>1</u><u>5</u>.

50 - 80 = -30

= -30 * 0.5

= - 15

<h3>How does one arrive at the answer?</h3>

This is an instance of demand curve shift which refers to key changes in the balance of supply and demand that alter the quantity demanded at the same price. Hence, the shift in the quantity demanded will affect the amount of cups of lemonade that is sold.

Sometimes questions that involve graphs will ask you to consider the effect of a changing factor or factors. Problem statement: the line labeled D1 in the graph to the right shows the number of cups of lemonade that Caroline and Emily can sell at their lemonade stand at various prices.

Caroline and Emily have noticed that they sell more lemonade when it's hotter. Click anywhere on the graph to open a window with a control labeled Temperature. If you use the slider to change the temperature, the line will shift. Change the temperature from 80 degrees to 50 degrees.

At a price of $0.50, the amount of cups of lemonade that Caroline and Emily sell when the temperature is 60 degrees than when the temperature is 80 degrees is<u> -15</u>.

Therefore, the correct answer is as given above

Elenna [48]

Answer: True

Explanation:

Strategic decisions do indeed take long-term commitment because they are meant to help the company in the long term not the short.

Strategic decisions usually set goals and achieve results in the long term. They are not expected to yield results in the short terms which is why MacDonald's pressed on with the all-day breakfast despite initial challenges.
