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.

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

A company looking to expand internationally with little risk would choose?
leva [86]

Answer:

  • Licensing
  • Franchising

Explanation:

There are no options but Licensing as well as Franchising are some of the least riskiest ways to expand internationally.

With Licensing, the company looking to expand simply sells licenses to various companies in different countries giving them the right to use their image. Basically, the company the license is sold to gets access to the seller's intellectual property but then can run their business with a significant degree of autonomy.

Franchising represents another way to expand with little risk. It involves a company giving a license to another company to sell and sometimes produce their products as well as image rights. The company will give the franchisee (company that gets the license) the knowledge and training required to maintain the franchise and in exchange, franchisee pays a fee.

Both of these methods ensure that the name and brand of a company spread internationally whilst making money from it. Risk is minimized because the investment in other countries is low to nothing.

Anna [14]
The present value (PV) of an annuity of P equal periodic payments for n years at r% is given by:

PV=Pa_{n\rceil r}

where a_{n\rceil r} is the <span>present value of an annuity factor for n years at r%.

Given that </span>a<span> company borrowed $40,000 cash from the bank and signed a 6-year note at 7% annual interest and that the present value of an annuity factor for 6 years at 7% is 4.7665.

Then

40000=4.7665P \\  \\ P= \frac{40000}{4.7665} =8,391.90

Therefore, </span><span>the annual annuity payments equals $8,391.90</span>
