5. Alexander owns an art gallery. He accepts paintings and sculpture on consignment and then
receives 20 percent of the price of each piece as his fee. Space is limited, and there are costs
involved, so Alexander is careful about accepting artists. When he does accept one, he
arranges for an opening show (usually for three hours on a weekend night) and sends out
invitations to his customer list. At the opening, he serves soft drinks and casual munchies to
create a comfortable environment for prospective customers to view the new works and chat
with the artist. On average, each opening costs P500. Alexander has given as many as 20
opening shows in a year. The total cost of running the gallery, including rent, furniture and
fixtures, utilities, and a part-time assistant, amounts to P80,000 per year.
REQUIRED:
1. If the cost driver is the number of opening shows given, classify the following costs as
either strictly variable cost, a fixed cost, or a mixed cost:
a. The cost of giving…
Baffled Car Rental Agency is owned by a former race car driver with psychic powers. Baffled has two classes of rentals, short-term and long-term. Short-term rentals are in the customer's hands for only one half of a week, but long-term rentals are in the customer's hands for two weeks. Our psychic friend currently rents an average of 200 cars to his short termers and 100 cars to long-term customers each week.
Short-term renters pay $200 per week and long-term renters pay $120 per week. Regardless of whether the rental is short-term or long-term, a rental return follows the same process steps; it is checked in and routed either to Baffled's garage for repairs (about 20% of the cars) or straight to Baffled's cleaning facility for washing and vacuuming (the remaining 80% of the cars).
On average, about 100 cars are waiting to be cleaned for an average cost of $10 per car. Cars needing repairs spend an average of two weeks in the repair shop waiting for mechanics to effect repairs at…
