    Q1. This year, the output is 5,000 units and the overhead cost is $31,000.
    Three year ago, the output was 2,000 units and the overhead cost was $8,800.
    The price index was 132 three years ago and is 164 this year.
    Using high low technique, what is the variable cost per unit (to the nearest $0.01) expressed in current year prices?

    Q2. Cherry Ltd Information:
    Sales (all credit) $500,000
    Purchases (credit) $200,000
    Operating Profit $40,000
    Capital Employed $200,000
    Average receivable $30,000
    Average Payables $16,000
    No;of books sold 60,000
    No, of books returned 1,200
    No of on time deliveries 58200
    No: of website visits 6000000

    Calculate the assets turnover?
    Calculate the % of website visits converted into sales (to the nearest%)?

    Dear Sir,

    Good day to you.

    Kindly explain the above questions?

    Q1 The cost 3 years ago was 8,800. If we express it in current year prices it is 164/132 x 8800 = 10933.

    Now it becomes a normal high-low question. High is 5,000 units, cost $31,000; Low is 2,000 units, cost $10,933

    Q2 Asset turnover = sales / capital employed = 500,000 / 200,000

    Website visits that become sales = number sold / number of visits = 60,000 / 6,000,000

    Receivables are 30,000; total sales on credit are 500,000.

    Therefore the receivables days are 30,000/500,000 x 365 = 21.9 days

    Payables are 16,000, total purchases are 200,000.
    Therefore the payables days are 16,000/200,000 x 365 = 29.2 days
