1. Dr. Heimerdinger is starting a company to manufacture his new invention. Dr. Heimerdinger estimates that he will need to produce between 0 and 30,000 units per year. Three equipment alternatives have been identified, with estimated fixed and variable costs as shown below. Determine the ranges of production (number of units produced per year) over which each alternative would be preferable (be exact). Alternative Annual Fixed Costs $100,000 $200,000 $150,000 Annual Variable Costs $20.00 per unit $5.00 per unit $7.50...
A small firm intends to increase the capacity of a bottleneck operation by adding a new machine. Two alternatives, A and B, have been identified, and the associated costs and revenues have been estimated. Annual fixed costs would be $37,000 for A and $33,000 for B; variable costs per unit would be $10 for A and $11 for B; and revenue per unit would be $15. a. Determine each alternative’s break-even point in units. (Round your answer to the nearest...
