a. Determine each alternative's break-even point in units. | |||||||
QBEP,A | 3600 | units | |||||
QBEP,B | 5167 | units | |||||
Working Notes: | |||||||
Break even = fixed cost / (revenue per unit - total variable cost) | |||||||
Alternative A = | 36000/(17 - 7) | 3600 | |||||
Alternative B = | 31000/(17-11) | 5167 | |||||
b. At what volume of output would the two alternatives yield the same profit ( or loss)? | |||||||
Q | 1250 | units | |||||
Working Notes: | |||||||
Profit = quantity of output (Revenue per unit - Variable cost per unit ) - Fixed cost | |||||||
Q = Volume of output | |||||||
Profit A = | P(17-7)-36000 = P10-36000 | ||||||
Profit B = | P(17-11)-31000 = P6-31000 | ||||||
Same profit (Solve P) | |||||||
Step 1 : P10-36000 = P6-31000 | |||||||
Step 2 : P10 = P6-31000+36000 | |||||||
Step 3: P10-P6 = 5000 | |||||||
Step 4 : P4=5000 | |||||||
Step 5 : P = 5000/4 | |||||||
Step 6 : P = 1250 | |||||||

Markland Manufacturing intends to increase capacity by overcoming a bottleneck operation by adding new equipment. Two vendors have presented proposals. The fixed costs are $60,000 for proposal A and $75,000 for proposal B. The variable cost is $14.00 for A and $11.00 for B. The revenue generated by each unit is $20.00. 1. Vendor A and Vendor B have the same cost when the output volume = ___ units? round to nearest whole number
Weiss Manufacturing intends to increase capacity by overcoming a bottleneck operation by adding new equipment. Two vendors have presented proposals. The fixed costs are $ 50 comma 000$50,000 for proposal A and $ 70 comma 000$70,000 for proposal B. In addition to the proposed fixed costs from the two vendors, Weiss's management anticipates that they will have to spend $ 12 comma 000$12,000 for installations to be completed. The variable cost is $ 14.00$14.00 for A and $ 12.00$12.00 for...

ABC company intends to increase capacity by overcoming a bottleneck operation by adding new equipment. Two vendors have presented proposals. The fixed cost for proposal A are $10,000, and for proposal B, $8,000. The variable cost for A is $10.00, and for B, $7.00. The revenue generated by each unit is $20.00. You definitely will pick up a machine which will produce the larger profit. If 2000 units will be sold, what will the profit in dollars be generated assuming...
