An investor accumulated 1800 shares of Microtel Corporation over a period of several months. She bought 1000 shares at $15.63, 500 shares at $19.00, and 300 shares at $21.75.What was her average cost per share? (Note: Investors who purchase shares in the same company or the same mutual fund at more than one price must eventually do this calculation. Tax rules require that the capital gain or loss on the sale of any of the shares be calculated using the weighted-average price paid for all of the shares, rather than the particular price paid for the shares actually sold.)
(Round your answer to the nearest cent.) The weighted average cost per share =
The answer is not 562

Mike must work at least 18 hours a week to supplement his income while attending school. He has the opportunity to work in two retail stores. In store 1, he can work between 5 and 13 hours a week, and in store 2, he is allowed between 6 and 11 hours. Both stores pay the same hourly wage. In deciding how many hours to work in each store, Mike wants to base his decision on work stress. Based on interviews with present employees, Mike estimates that, on an ascending scale of 1 to 10, the stress factors are 8 and 6 at stores 1 and 2, respectively. Because stress mounts by the hour, he assumes that the total stress for each store at the end of the week is proportional to the number of hours he works in the store. How many hours should Mike work in each store?
a) Define the decision variables
b) LP model
c) feasible region
d) optimal solution
e) final answer in statement form

- Evan Kristopher, the president of Kristopher Company has asked for information about the cost behavior of manufacturing overhead costs. Specifically, he wants to know how much overhead cost is fixed and how much is variable. The following data are available: Month Machine-hours Overhead Costs February 1,700 $20,500 March 2,800 22,250 April 1,000 19,950 May 2,500 21,500 June 3,500 23,950 Using the high-low method, determine the overhead cost equation. Use machine-hours as your cost driver. A regression analysis was performed on the same data. The following values were identified: Y- intercept of 18,021.80, R2 of .941 and X-coefficent of 1.569.
