Total cost= $72,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Bennett Company’s high and low level of activity last year was 150,000 units produced in June and 50,000 units produced in January. Machine maintenance costs were $104,000 in June and $40,000 in January.

We need to use the following formulas:

Variable cost per unit= (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost)/ (Highest activity units - Lowest activity units)

Variable cost per unit= (104,000 - 40,000) / (150,000 - 50,000)= $0.64 per unit

Fixed costs= Highest activity cost - (Variable cost per unit * HAU)

FC= 104,000 - (0.64*150,000)= 8,000

Fixed costs= LAC - (Variable cost per unit* LAU)

FC= 40,000 - (0.64*50,000)= 8,000

Now, we can calculate the cost of 100,000 units:

Total cost= o.64*100,000 + 8,000= $72,000

Answer from: roseemariehunter12

The total maintenance cost at 100,000 units is $72000

Explanation:

The formula for high and low method is given as:

Variable cost=Cost at highest level-Cost at lowest level/(Highest activity-lowest activity)

Variable cost=$104000-$40000/(150000-50000)

=$0.64

Total cost= fixed cost+variable cost *volume

Fixed cost can be deduced by substituting the total cost and volume at any of the two activity levels.

$104000=Fixed cost+(0.64*150000)

$104000=Fixed cost+$96000

Fixed cost=$104000-$96000

fixed cost=$8000

Hence total maintenance cost at 100000 units is calculated thus:

Total cost=$8000+(100000*0.64)

Total cost=$72000

Suppose that a major city’s main thoroughfare, which is also an interstate highway, will be completely closed to traffic for two years, from january 2014 to december 2015, for reconstruction at a cost of $535 million. if the construction company were to keep the highway open for traffic during construction, the highway reconstruction project would take much longer and be more expensive. suppose that construction would take four years if the highway were kept open, at a total cost of $800 million. the state department of transportation had to make its decision in 2014, one year before the start of construction (so that the first payment was one year away). so the department of transportation had the following choices: (i) close the highway during construction, at an annual cost of $267.5 million per year for two years. (ii) keep the highway open during construction, at an annual cost of $200 million per year for four years. now suppose the interest rate is 80%. calculate the present value of the costs incurred under each plan.
