The Cheyenne Hotel in Big Sky, Montana, has accumulated records of the total electrical costs of the hotel and the number of occupancy-days over the last year. An occupancy-day represents a room rented for one day. The hotel’s business is highly seasonal, with peaks occurring during the ski season and in the summer. Month Occupancy-Days Electrical Costs January 540 $ 1,620 February 3,810 $ 8,352 March 4,100 $ 8,736 April 1,730 $ 5,190 May 3,520 $ 7,968 June 1,320 $ 3,960 July 3,420 $ 7,668 August 4,120 $ 8,780 September 1,610 $ 4,830 October 830 $ 2,490 November 1,420 $ 4,260 December 2,320 $ 6,960 Required: 1. Using the high-low method, estimate the fixed cost of electricity per month and the variable cost of electricity per occupancy-day. (Do not round your intermediate calculations. Round your Variable cost answer to 2 d

Variable cost= $2 per occupancy day

Fixed costs= $540

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Month Occupancy-Days Electrical Costs

January 540 $ 1,620

February 3,810 $ 8,352

March 4,100 $ 8,736

April 1,730 $ 5,190

May 3,520 $ 7,968

June 1,320 $ 3,960

July 3,420 $ 7,668

August 4,120 $ 8,780

September 1,610 $ 4,830

October 830 $ 2,490

November 1,420 $ 4,260

December 2,320 $ 6,960

First, we need to calculate the variable cost per occupancy day:

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

Variable cost per unit= (8,780 - 1,620) / (4,120 - 540)= $2 per occupancy day

Now, we can calculate the fixed costs:

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

Fixed costs= 8,780 - (2*4,120)= $540

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

Fixed costs= 1,620 - (2*540)= $540

you can lose ranking 2 ways.

1) you don't have enough points due to you expending them by asking questions/your answers are deleted.

2) your brainliest's expired. this means that brainliests, once they exceed the 30 day limit, expires. this is to ensure that you continue to contribute into the community at a constant rank if you want to continue to have/exceed the rank you have right now.

if you go to profile, and click "show more information" located on the bottom left of the box with your information (on top of the questions answered, questions asked, and friends), you will be given the following information (example):

member since : 02/13/2017, 18: 11

questions answered: 9741

questions asked: 162

no. of brainliest answers: 1575

brainliest answers in last 30 days: 10

warnings: 0 view

questions/answers reported: 2637

questions/answers incorrectly reported: 64

look at the "brainliest answers in the last 30 days". this is the one that will affect your rank other than your points. again, once your brainliest expires (was earned 31+ days ago), it will not be counted.
