1. A firm has estimated that the fixed costs of operations for a new product at $4.5M per year. Variable costs will depend on the volume of production, and has been quantified at $250 per unit. If the firm plans to sell the product for $1000. What volume of sales is needed for this product to break-even? 2. A Machine costs $30,000 to purchase . Salvage value of the machine after 5 years = $7000. Calculate the machines capital recovery cost (EUAC) at 10%? 3. How much money must be invested in a retirement plan each month to accumulate $500,000 in 20 years? Assume an annual interest rate of 6% compounded monthly.

Q5) A firm is planning to manufacture a new product. The sales department estimates that the quantity that can be sold depends on the selling price. As the selling price is increased, the quantity that can be sold decreases. Numerically they estimate: P = $35.00 - 0.02Q where P =selling price per unit Q = quantity sold per year On the other hand, the management estimates that the average cost of manufacturing and selling the product will decrease as the quantity sold increases. They estimate C = $4.00Q + $8000 where C = cost to produce and sell Q per year The firm's management wishes to produce and sell the product at the rate that will maximize profit, that is, where income minus cost will be a maximum. What quantity should the decision makers plan to produce and sell each year?
The following are data from a production, calculate; The Break-even point in terms of sales value and in . The production demand is at 20,000 units. What is the cw1ent production profit? If the management decides to lower dow11its selling price by 50% given the same demand, will this be a sound decision? Justify. Monthly Fixed Factory Overhead Cost = P600,000 Monthly Fixed Selling Overhead Cost = Pl20,000 Va1iable Manufacturing Cost per Unit = P220 Va1iable Selling Cost per Unit = P30 Variable Distribution Cost per Units = P50 Selling Price per limit = P400
4- As a prospective owner of a club known as the Red Rose, you are interested in determining the volume of salesdollars necessary for the coming year to reach the break-even point. You have decided to break down the salesfor the club into four categories, the first category being beer. Your estimate of the beer sales is that 30,000 drinkswill be served. The selling price for each unit will average $1.50; the cost is $.75. The second major category ismeals, which you expect to be 10,000 units with an average price of $10.00 and a cost of $5.00. The third majorcat- egory is desserts and wine, of which you also expect to sell 10,000 units, but with an average price of $2.50per unit sold and a cost of $1.00 per unit. The final category is lunches and inexpensive sandwiches, which youexpect to total 20,000 units at an average price of $6.25 with a food cost of $3.25. Your fixed cost (i.e., rent,utilities, and so on) is $1,800 per month plus $2,000 per month for entertainment.a) What is your…
A process plant making 5000kg /day of a product selling for $1.75 per kg has annual directproduction costs of $2 million at 100 percent capacity and other fixed costs of $700,000. What isthe fixed charge per kg at the break-even point? If the selling price of the product is increased by10 percent, what is the dollar increase in net profit at full capacity if the income tax rate is 35percent of gross earnings?
A firm has the capacity to produce 1,000,000 units of a product each year. At present, it is operating at 70% of capacity. The firm’s annual revenue is $700,000. Annual fixed costs are $300,000, and the variable costs are $0.50 per unit. a. What is the firm’s annual profit or loss? b. At what volume of sales does the firm break even? c. What will be the profit or loss if the plant runs at 90% of capacity assuming a constant income per unit and constant variable cost per unit? d. At what percent of capacity would the firm have to run to earn a profit of $90,000?
A firm has the capacity to produce 650,000 units of product per year. At present, it is operating at 64% of capacity. The firm’s income per unit is $1.00, annual fixed costs are $192,000, and variable costs are $0.376 per unit of product. Solve, a. What is the firm’s current annual profit or loss? b. At what volume of product does the firm break even? c. What would be the profit or loss at 80% of capacity?
CLP is planning to go into the designer jeans business. They project the following costs for the first year of operation: Rental payments $1,500 per month Direct Labor $9.50 per hour Raw Materials $6 per pair of jeans Overhead $975 per week Interest on Capital $1,350 per month It takes 20 minutes of direct labor to assemble a pair of pants, and CLP sells his designer jeans for $39.50 a pair. How many pairs of jeans must be sold to break even the first year? (assume a 50 week year) If profits total $38,500 for the first year, what is CLP’s safety margin? After a successful first year, CLP foresees a decline in designer jeans demand as a result of a weakening economy. If CLP wants a break-even point of 2,300 units, how much of a reduction in fixed costs would be necessary? What three alternative methods are available for reducing the break-even point? Using each of these methods,…

To automate one of its production processes, theMilwaukee Corporation bought three flexible manufacturing cells at a price of $400,000 each. Whenthey were delivered, Milwaukee paid freight chargesof $20,000 and handling fees of $15,000. Site preparation for these cells cost $45,000. Six foremen, eachearning $20 an hour, worked five 40-hour weeks toset up and test the manufacturing cells. Special wiring and other materials applicable to the new manufacturing cells cost $3,500. Determine the cost basis(amount to be capitalized) for these cells.
