Answer:

Instructions are below

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

January 520 $ 4,470

February 490 4,260

March 300 2,820

April 500 4,350

May 310 2,960

June 480 4,200

July 320 3,000

August 400 3,600

September 470 4,050

October 350 3,300

November 340 3,160

December 320 3,030

A) To calculate the fixed and variable costs, 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= (4,470 - 2,820) / (520 - 300)

Variable cost per unit= $7.5

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

Fixed costs= 4,470 - (7.5*520)

Fixed costs= $570

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

Fixed costs= 2,820 - (7.5*300)

Fixed costs= $570

B)

Total cost= 570 + 7.5x

x= hours of mantainance

C) x= 590

Total cost= 570 + 7.5*590

TC= $4,995

D) x= 600

Total cost= 570 + 7.5*600

TC= $5,070

A freelance writer must choose how to spend her time working on several different types of projects. Newspaper stories take 3 ho
natali 33 [55]

45N + 400M + 20P ≥ 45 is the constraint that limits the amount of time the writer will work each week.

Explanation:

Integer constraints limit any or all variables to only allow integer values in the optimisation issue. It allows for precise simulation of situations that include discrete numbers (such as equity shares) or decisions yes or no.

Both "limits" and "restrictions" are "restrictions," which may be the broadest word to denote anything that prohibits a entity or a mechanism from happening. "Standards" and "controls" typically feel like standing back, where "stretches" sound like being alone.

Which parts of this passage illustrate a company’s vision? Michael, who started his computer business 20 years ago, has now attr
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

The below statement marks the company's vision.

In a period of 10 years, he states that the foundation envisions a broad and impartial society that respects and encourages children and actively enables people’s participation.

Explanation:

Companies tend to summarize their goals and objectives in mission and vision statements. Both of these serve different purposes for a company but are often confused with each other.

<u>Vision of a company/organisation</u>

  • Vision statement outlines what a company wants to be in the future.
  • The Vision Statement focuses on the future
  • It is a statement that is a source of inspiration and motivation.  
  • It describes not just the future of the organization but the future of the industry or society in which the organization hopes to effect change.

Relevance to the given scenario is that in the identified statement, Micheal has clearly demonstrated, what he sees for the foundation and how it wants to impact the foundation's stakeholders.

The vision of the foundation is as follows:

<em>In a period of 10 years, he states that the foundation envisions a broad and impartial society that respects and encourages children and actively enables people’s participation.</em>

<em></em>

Vision is different from the mission:

<u>Mission statement:</u>

The Mission Statement concentrates on the present; it defines the customer(s), critical processes and it informs you about the desired level of performance.

The mission of the foundation is as follows:

<em>The purpose of the foundation is to maximize the effect of public participation and welcome the recognition for volunteering.</em>
