Seattle Radiology Group plans to invest in a new CT scanner. The group estimates $1,500 net revenue per scan. Preliminary market assessments indicate that demand will be less than 5,000 scans per year. The group is considering a scanner (Scanner A) that would result in total fixed costs of $1,000,000 and would yield a profit of $500,000 per year at a volume of 5,000 scans. What is the implied variable cost rate (variable cost per scan) for Scanner A?

Unitary variable cost= $1,200

Variable cost rate= 0.8

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate the total variable cost:

Total variable cost= sales - fixed cost - gross profit

Total variable cost= (5,000*1,500) - 1,000,000 - 500,000

Total variable cost= $6,000,000

Now, the unitary variable cost:

Unitary variable cost= total variable cost / number of units

Unitary variable cost= 6,000,000 / 5,000

Unitary variable cost= $1,200

Variable cost rate= 1,200 / 1,500= 0.8

b. a single paragraph.

a paragraph is a series of sentences that are organized and make sense, and are all related to a single topic . almost every piece of writing you do that is longer than a few sentences should be organized into paragraphs. this is because paragraphs show a reader where the subdivisions of an essay begin and end, and thus the reader see the organization of the essay into subjects in order to be able to understand its main points.
