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
