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

Flexible budgets and variance analysis are very useful tools for managers, but are sometimes difficult to understand. Find an on
Anettt [7]

Answer:

Flexible budgets: These type of budgets are assessments, which may vary with the capacity or production for a given period.

Say for model there might be two type of budgets which bend with two or three situations of fabrication volume or production. The situations might be:

1. Budget when fabrication is at highest volume, the revenue and expenditures at the utmost output.

2. Budget when there is prime capacity, the revenue and expenditures valued at the optimal application of resources to produce optimal productivity or satisfactory output.

3. Budget when there is low capacity or demand is nearly nil, the revenues and expenditures that will be valued.

This flexible budget guides administration to appropriately plan their resources and flex with the capacity whenever it’s required subject the change in situations.

Variance Analysis: The investigation of deviance of several cost restriction with the usual set in at the start of the year results in Variance Analysis. There are several types of modifications which needs analysis and these will be diverse with the business type. The below are few common instances of modifications.

Sales capacity variances, sales combination variances, Material value variances, labor proportion variances, machine dependent price variances, overheads expenditure variances, Material procedure, Material Amount, Material replacement, labor and engine time variances etc.

These will help the administration to comprehend practically how precise the values set in for a given period of time.

David Ricardo was a classical economist known for various economic theory. Some of his theories include :

  1. Labour Theory of Value
  2. Ricardian Equivalence
  3. Theory of comparative advantage
  4. Theory of rent

Theory of rents

David Ricardo defined rest as the part of the produce of an agricultural land that is paid to the landowner for the use of the land.  He postulated that  benefits of an increase in prices of grain accrue to land owners in the form of rent

He used this theory to answer a question that arose during the Napoleonic wars (18.05-1815)  when there was a great increase in corn and land prices. The question was : Did the rise in land prices raise the price of corn or did the high price of corn increase the demand for land and led to an increase in the price of land ?
