Let's try to determine the cost function for another company like ABC who makes sausages. Assume costs are as follows:

Monthly depreciation on buildings and equipment is $17528
Product costs are $1.15 per pound produced
Wages are $1.95 per pound produced
Supervisory Salaries total $14736 per month
Utilities cost $4530 per month plus $.20 per pound produced.
What is the variable cost portion of their cost formula? (in other words, what is the "v" in y = f + vx)

Enter your answer to two decimal places, and don't include dollar signs.

Case in point 1.2 suppose you work in the it department of global hotels, a multinational hotel chain. global hotels runs several specialized business support systems, including a guest reservations system that was developed in-house to meet the requirements of a large company with worldwide operations. guests can make one-stop online reservations by visiting global's website, which has links to all major travel industry sites. global hotels just acquired momma's, a regional chain of 20 motels in western canada. momma's uses a vertical reservations package suitable for small- to medium-sized businesses and a generic accounting and finance package. should momma's use global hotels' information systems or continue with its own? in your answer, consider issues such as business profiles, business processes, system interactivity, edi, ecommerce, and the characteristics of both information systems. what additional information would be to you in making a recommendation?

Miko willingly admits that she is not an accountant by training. she is concerned that her balance sheet might not be correct. she has provided you with the following additional information. 1. the boat actually belongs to miko, not to skysong, inc.. however, because she thinks she might take customers out on the boat occasionally, she decided to list it as an asset of the company. to be consistent, she also listed as a liability of the corporation her personal loan that she took out at the bank to buy the boat. 2. the inventory was originally purchased for $27,500, but due to a surge in demand miko now thinks she could sell it for $39,600. she thought it would be best to record it at $39,600. 3. included in the accounts receivable balance is $11,000 that miko loaned to her brother 5 years ago. miko included this in the receivables of skysong, inc. so she wouldn’t forget that her brother owes her money. (b) provide a corrected balance sheet for skysong, inc.. (hint: to get the balance sheet to balance, adjust stockholders’ equity.) (list assets in order of liquidity.)
