Jane Livingston, an industrial engineer at Energy Conservation Service, hasfound that the anticipated profitability of a newly developed water-heaterthe temperature-control device can be measured by net present worth as PW = 5.63V(4.3X - $15) - 33,580 where Vis the number of units produced and sold and X is the sales price per unit. She also found that the V parameter value could occur anywhere in the range of 1,500 to 5,000 units and the X parameter value anywhere between $10 and $35 per unit. Develop a sensitivity graph as a function of the number of units produced and sales price per unit.

The fixed cost is $800 per month and the variable cost $34 per unit produced. What number of units, D*,should be produced per month and sold to maximize the profit per month related to the product?
A furniture manufacturer has an annual overhead cost of P120,000 plus 20% of the sales in pesos. Labor costs P20 per set and the materials cost P10. He has a maximum capacity of 1000 sets per month but expects to produce only 8000 sets per year. If he could sell all what he expects to produce, how much is the selling price of each set just to break even? Show solutions.
In connection with surfacing a new highway, a contractor has a choice of two sites on which to set up the asphalt-mixing plant equipment. The contractor estimates that it will cost $1.25 per cubic yard mile (yd3 –mile) to haul the asphalt-paving material from the mixing plant to the job location. Factors relating to the two mixing sites are as follows: (See pic) The job requires 50,000 cubic yards of mixed-asphalt-paving material. It is estimated that four months (17 weeks of five working days per week) will be required for the job. Compare the two sites in terms of their total costs. Assume that the cost of the return trip is negligible. A) Which is the better site? B) For the selected site, how many cubic yards of paving material does the contractor have to deliver before staring to make a profit if paid $8.35 per cubic yard delivered to the job location?

The manager of a sole distributorship for a famous brand of automobiles was discussingwith the assistant manager the planned introduction by mid-year of a new model, theXP-60. It was decided earlier that the price be set at P400,000, at which level the totalnumber of units sold was estimated at 500 units annually. The assistant manager hassuggested that the price should be set at a somewhat lower level, say, at P360,000 inorder to attract a major segment of the non-targeted market. At this lower price, 1,000units are expected to be sold.1. Formulate the firm’s linear demand equation for the product given the estimates andprojections made.2. What is the (point) price elasticity of demand at price P400,000? At P360,000?3. What is the midpoint arc price elasticity of demand between these two prices?Interpret the result.4. Determine the total revenue (TR) function and the marginal revenue (MR) function.5. Calculate marginal revenue at the originally proposed price and at therecommended…
A large company in the communication and publishing industry has quantified the relationshipbetween the price of one of its products and the demand for this product as Price = 150 − 0.01× Demand for an annual printing of this particular product. The fixed costs per year (i.e., perprinting) = RM50,000 and the variable cost per unit= RM40. a) Analyze what is the maximum profit that can be achieved if the maximum expected demand is 6,000 units per year. b) Compute what is the unit price at this point of optimal demand.
A firm hasi nitial value V and has an investment opportunity costing 400 that will yield it an endpoint value of V +500 but it has to issue new shares to raise the required 400. Initially its owners own 10 shares that are currently selling at a market price of 80 per share. Note that this price may not necessarily reflect the true value per share– only the firm itself knows this. If it is indifferent between issuing and not issuing at the market price of 80, what is the initial true value of the firm V?
The management believes that every 9% increase in the selling price of one of the company's products results in a 10% decrease in the product's total unit sales. The variable production cost of this product is ₱12.60 per unit and the variable selling and administrative cost is ₱4.90 per unit. The product's profit-maximizing price is closest to: a. ₱104.20 b. ₱19.11 c. ₱20.83 d. ₱96.12
Samsung Electronics is trying to reduce supply chain risk by makingmore responsible make/buy decisions through improved cost estimation. A high-usecomponent (expected usage is 5000 units per year) can be purchased for $25 perunit with delivery promised within a week. Alternatively, Samsung can make thecomponent inhouse and have it readily available at a cost of $5 per unit, ifequipment costing $150,000 is purchased. Labor and other operating costs areestimated to be $35,000 per year over the study period of 5 years. Salvage isestimated at 10% of first cost and MARR is 12% per year. Neglect the element ofavailability (a) to determine the breakeven quantity, and (b) to recommend makingor buying at the expected usage level.
