Answer: [tex]y=2\times5[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : The manager uses the formula to compute the total variable cost (y) = Variable cost per unit of activity (v) × Volume of activity (x). (1)
Rochelle Corporation provides complimentary coffee packets at a cost of $2 per guest who stay at the mountain resort.
i.e. Variable cost per unit of activity (v) = $2 (2)
The manager expects 500 guests in December.
i.e. Volume of activity (x)= 500 (3)
Using (2) and (3) in (1), we get
Cost equation to compute y in the cost equation for 500 guests :-
[tex]y=2\times5[/tex]
