1 Answer

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Machine Hours Electrical Cost

January 2500 $4800

February 3000 $5800

March 3300 $6400

To calculate the cost per hour, we need to use the following formula:

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

Variable cost per unit= (3,300 - 2,500) / (6,400 - 4,800)

Variable cost per unit= $0.5 per machine hour

Consider a continuous operation in which raw green beans arrive to a processing unit. The green beans arrive at an average steady rate of 114 tons per hour for the first 10 hours of each day, and then stop. The beans are then processed by the processing unit which, when operating, can process at a steady state of 60 tons/hr. If need be, the processing unit can process for 24 hours a day. If beans arrive when the processing unit is busy, a queue of inventory will form.
