Phi Upsilon Nu, a student social organization, has two different locations under consideration for constructing a new chapter house. PhUN's president, a POM student, estimates that due to differing land costs, utility rates, etc., both fixed and variable costs would be different for each of the proposed sites, as follows: ANNUAL OPERATING COSTS LOCATION FIXED VARIABLE Alpha Ave. $5,000 $200 per person Beta Blvd. $8,000 $150 per person What would be total annual costs for the Alpha Ave. location with twenty persons living there

Answer:

Phi Upsilon Nu

The total annual costs for the Alpha Ave. location with twenty persons living there is:

= $9,000.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

ANNUAL OPERATING COSTS

LOCATION   FIXED        VARIABLE                Total Costs

Alpha Ave.  $5,000      $200 per person     $9,000 ($5,000 + $200 * 20)

Beta Blvd.   $8,000       $150 per person     $11,000 ($8,000 + $150 * 20)

b)The variable cost of each location varies according to the number of persons living there and the rate incurred per person.  The fixed cost does not vary, at least, with the relevant range for either location.  When the total variable costs are computed, these are added to the fixed cost to obtain the total costs.  Then there is a comparison of the two locations to determine the location with the least total costs.

Albert and his family sell beverages outside the stadium during local football matches. Local football matches take place every day because they are the main form of entertainment in the town. Albert knows that demand for beverages will depend on whom the local team is playing against. Albert has a large amount of beverages stored at home, and whatever does not get sold one day, will be stored for the next day. Based on the expected demand, Albert determines how many coolers will be needed for that day and rents the appropriate number of coolers from a local supplier (the only local supplier of coolers in town). The local supplier of coolers is an avid football fan and therefore opens the store only for a few hours early in the morning before the game. Once Albert has rented the coolers, the store closes until the next day. Which of the following statements are correct about Albert's business?A. For Georgina's business, the number of beverages is always a variable factor and the number of coolers is always a fixed factor. B. Before deciding how many coolers to rent, as long as the supply store is still open, Georgina is facing a long- run decision. C. Once Georgina has rented the coolers and the supplier has closed the store, Georgina is facing a long-run decision. D.
