Calculating abc unit costs perkins national bank has collected the following information for four activities and two types of credit cards: activity driver classic gold activity rate ($) processing transactions transactions processed 12,000 7,200 0.20 preparing statements number of statements 12,000 7,200 0.95 answering questions number of calls 24,000 36,000 4.00 providing atms atm transactions 48,000 14,400 1.50 there are 5,200 holders of classic cards and 20,800 holders of the gold cards. required: calculate the unit cost (rounded to the nearest cent) for classic and gold credit cards. unit cost for classic $ 35.65 unit cost for gold $ 8.57 feedback

The unit cost for classic and gold is $34,96 and $8.35 respectively.

Explanation:

The computation of the unit cost for classic is shown below:

= (Processing transactions × activity rate + Preparing statements ×  activity rate + Answering questions × activity rate + Providing ATMs × activity rate) ÷ number of holders

= (12,000 × 0.20 + 12,000 × 0.95 + 24,000 × 4.00 + 48,000 × 1.50) ÷ 5,200 holders

= (2,400 + 11,400 + 96,000 + 72,000) ÷ 5,200 holders

= 181,800 ÷ 5,200 holders

= $34.96

The computation of the unit cost for Gold is shown below:

= (Processing transactions × activity rate + Preparing statements ×  activity rate + Answering questions × activity rate + Providing ATMs × activity rate) ÷ number of holders

= (7,200 × 0.20 + 7,200 × 0.95 + 36,000 × 4.00 + 14,400 × 1.50) ÷ 20,800 holders

= (1,440 + 6,840 + 144,000 + 21,600) ÷ 20,800 holders

= 173,880 ÷ 20,800 holders

= $8.35

sound is invisible, but sometimes we can feel it. when a kettle-drum is thumped with a stick that time the tight drum skin moving up and down very quickly for some time and then it pumped sound waves into the air. loudspeakers also work in a similar manner.

components of a speaker:

electromagnet

in order to translate an electrical signal into an audible sound, an electromagnet is used in looudspeakers

  suspension

suspension is used to   center the voice coil in the gap of the magnet and it exerts a restoring force to keep it there. suspension is used to limits the maximum mechanical excursion of the diaphragm and voice coil.

voice coil

voice coil is a coil of wire which is attached to the apex of a loudspeaker cone. it provides the motive force to the cone by the reaction of a magnetic field to the current passing through it.

cone

in a   loudspeaker, a   thin, semi-rigid membrane attached to the voice coil, which moves in a magnetic gap due to which it vibrates   and produced sound. it is known as diaphragm and it can also be called a cone, though not all speaker diaphragms are cone-shaped.

surround

surround is also known as front suspension. surround is used to join the cone to the chassis. together with the suspension it controls the cone excursion, and it is also used to   determine how energy which is   travelling through the cone is absorbed, and how the speaker limits when it reaches the ends of its travel.

dustcap

dustcap is used to protect the voice coil from dust and dirt. it is a part of the cone.

how speaker work

the outer part of the cone is fastened to the outer part of the loudspeaker's circular metal rim. the inner part is fixed to   voice coil that sits just in front of a permanent magnet . when loudspeaker is hooked up to a stereo, electrical signals feed through the speaker cables into the coil. it will convert the coil into an electromagnet magnet . when electricity flows back and forth in the cables, the electromagnet either repels or attract the permanent magnet. this moves the coil back and forth, and it pull and push the loudspeaker cone. like a drum skin vibrating back and forth, the moving cone pumps sounds out into the air.in this way loudspeakers works.

1   all nations face the problem of scarcity because there are limited resources and unlimited wants. nations do not have enough factors of production to produce everything that their population wants. entrepreneurial resources initiate businesses to make new goods and services; labor resources produce goods and services.

2 there are four factors of production: natural resources, labor resources, capital resources, and entrepreneurial resources. natural resources are raw materials from nature that are used to produce goods. trees, water, and grains are natural resources. some natural resources, such as wheat and cattle, are renewable

3 wants

things that you do not need to have in order to survive, but would like to have

needs

things that you must have in order to survive

goods

physical products

services

tasks that a business perform for customers

resources

items that people can use to make or obtain what they need or want

determine

to settle or decide by choice of alternatives or possiblities
