A company has received an order to manufacture 75 customized units of an entertainment cabinet. The company is being offered $960 per cabinet and the CEO must decide whether or not to accept the order. An analysis of the production process for the cabinet reveals that a new, special-purpose lathe will be required. The estimated cost of the lathe is $14,400, although there is some uncertainty due to new tariffs. The variable cost is more difficult to estimate because the customization of the cabinet will require some new production techniques. The CEO has decided to use $600 per cabinet as an initial estimate. The company has a policy of accepting orders if there is a profit rate (net profit/total revenue) of at least 15%.
The changing cells for your scenario analysis should include all of the model inputs: price, sales volume, and fixed and variable costs. Your Summary report should give the results for total revenue, total cost, net profit, profit rate, and breakeven volume. DO NOT edit this report except to format the page for printing.

Answer Sheet for Analytics Exercise 1

Answer:
Total Revenue= Cabinet demanded * Price of Cabinet
Profit Rate= (Total Revenue-75* Variable Cost- Fixed Cost)/ Total Revenue
cabinet demanded | 75 | |||||
Price per cabinet | 960 | |||||
Total revenue | 72000 | |||||
Fixed Cost | ||||||
Profit Rate | 12000 | 13200 | 14400 | 15600 | 16800 | |
Variable cost | 500 | 31.3% | 29.6% | 27.9% | 26.3% | 24.6% |
520 | 29.2% | 27.5% | 25.8% | 24.2% | 22.5% | |
540 | 27.1% | 25.4% | 23.8% | 22.1% | 20.4% | |
560 | 25.0% | 23.3% | 21.7% | 20.0% | 18.3% | |
580 | 22.9% | 21.3% | 19.6% | 17.9% | 16.3% | |
600 | 20.8% | 19.2% | 17.5% | 15.8% | 14.2% | |
620 | 18.8% | 17.1% | 15.4% | 13.8% | 12.1% | |
640 | 16.7% | 15.0% | 13.3% | 11.7% | 10.0% | |
660 | 14.6% | 12.9% | 11.3% | 9.6% | 7.9% | |
680 | 12.5% | 10.8% | 9.2% | 7.5% | 5.8% | |
700 | 10.4% | 8.8% | 7.1% | 5.4% | 3.8% |
For Fixed Cost= $14400 and Variable cost= $600 per cabinet
Net Profit= total Revenue- 75* variable cost-fixed cost=72000-75*600-14400=$12600
Breakeven point = Fixed cost/(Cabinet Price- Variable Cost)=14400/(960-600)=40 cabinets
Profit rate for 75 cabinets=12600/72000=17.5%
Since profit rate is greater than expected profit rate so he should accept the order.
Variable cost cannot exceed $580 dollar for guaranteed return for 15%.
Relationship between variable cost and Profit rate is linear and effect of $20 increase in variable cost is constant.
Profit in optimistic
scenario=72000-75*500-12000=$22500
Profit in Pessimistic
scenario=72000-75*700-16800=$2700
Difference in Net Profit=22500-2700=$19800
Profit Rate in optimistic scenario=22500/72000=31.3%
Profit Rate in Pessimistic scenario=2700/72000=3.8%
Profit rate for 100 cabinets= (100*960-100*600-14400)/100*960=37.5%
Profit rate for price $1084 per cabinets=(1084*75-75*600-14400)/1084*75=26.9%
From above calculation it is clear that profit rate will meet company policy in 3 out of 4 what if scenarios.
