Answer:
A) 0.08; 0.12
B) 0.04
C) 150,000 miles
D) Insurance cost, carbon emission, Second hand value, Licensing fee, E. t. C
Explanation:
A)
What is the variable gasoline cost of going one mile in the hybrid car?
The variable gasoline cost = ( cost per gallon / total miles per gallon)
Cost per Gallon = $2.40
Miles per gallon(hybrid car) = 30
Variable gasoline cost(hybrid car) =( 2.40/30) = 0.08
What is the variable cost of going one mile in the traditional car?
The variable gasoline cost = ( cost per gallon / total miles per gallon)
Cost per Gallon = $2.40
Miles per gallon(traditional car) = 20
Variable gasoline cost(hybrid car) =( 2.40/20) = 0.12
B.) variable cost savings on a per-mile basis.
Variable cost difference (0.12 - 0.08) = 0.04
C.) break even point in miles
(additional fixed cost / cost saving per mile)
(6000 / 0.04) = 150,000 miles
D) other factors may include ;
Insurance cost
carbon emission
Second hand value
Licensing fee and so on
