Joyce murphy runs a courier service in downtown seattle. she charges clients $0.62 per mile driven. joyce has determined that if she drives 2,900 miles in a month, her total operating cost is $950. if she drives 4,000 miles in a month, her total operating cost is $1,192. required: 1. using the high-low method, determine joyce’s variable and fixed operating cost components.

Variable cost per mile = 0.22 per mile

Total fixed cost = $312

Explanation:

If she drives 2,900 miles then,

Total operating cost = $950

If she drives 4,000 miles then,

Total operating cost = $1,192

Using high low method,

variable cost per mile:

= 0.22 per mile

Hence,

Total fixed cost = 1,192 - (4,000 × 0.22)

                          = 1,192 - 880

                          = $312

answer: a. the kind of population living in your neighbourhood.

the census explorer data tool by the us census bureau allows the user to zoom in on any neighbourhood within the united states and find the kind of people residing in that by race and age.  

the tool needs to needs to be used twice – once in order to find what type of people reside in a neighbourhood, and then to see the age groups of the people in the same neighbourhood.
