Your company makes hand sanitizer in two lines: Moisturizing+, and StandardSoap. On the market, Moisturizing+ retails for $175/L and StandardSoap retails for $95/L. You make the hand sanitizer by combining lotion, soap, and secret ingredient SpecialX. These ingredients are purchased from a mysterious supplier, and you can purchase at most 4000L of lotion, 5000L of soap, and 750L of SpecialX in a month. Lotion costs $25/L, soap costs $10/L, and SpecialX costs $35/L. To make 1L of Moisturizing+, you need to combine 0.5L of lotion, 0.3L of soap, and 0.2L of SpecialX. To make 1L of StandardSoap, you need to combine 0.4L of lotion, 0.55L of soap, and 0.05L of SpecialX. Your company has committed to donating 500L of StandardSoap to a local charity. Since this is a donation, you will not receive any revenue. However, the costs and purchasing limits apply to both the hand sanitizer that is sold on the market and donated to charity. You want to maximize your monthly profit. Assume that…

XYZ Corporation manufactures two products, Simple and Complex. The following annual information was gathered: Simple Complex Selling price per unit P47.00 P26.00 Variable cost per unit 42.00 22.00 Total annual fixed costs are P18,000. Assume XYZ Corporation can produce and sell any mix of Simple or Complex at full capacity. It takes one hour to make one unit of Complex. However, Simple takes 50% longer to manufacture when compared to Complex. Only 120,000 hours of plant capacity are available. How many units of Simple and Complex should XYZ Corporation produce and sell in a year to maximize profits?
Struggling with answering this question A manufacturer produces three types of humidifiers. The retail price of Humidifier Regular (HR) is $60 with variable costs of $20. Humidifier Advanced (HA) sells for $200 for its advanced features. This model’s variable costs are $80. Humidifier Simple (HS) is a simplified version and only sells for $25 with variable costs of $15. The manufacturer has machines and facilities worth $320,000 annually. The sales data show that 1000 units of HR, 2000 units of HA, and 10,000 units of HS was sold last year. Calculate the break-even point of the firm. The firm has some idle capacity at these volumes and chooses to cut the selling price of HR from $60 to $45, believing that its sales volume will rise from 1000 units to 2500 units. What is the revised break-even point?
We all hate to bring small change to the store. Usingrandom numbers, we can eliminate the need for change andgive the store and the customer a fair shake.a Suppose you buy something that costs $.20. How could you use random numbers (built into the cash reg-ister system) to decide whether you should pay $1.00 or nothing? This eliminates the need for change!b If you bought something for $9.60, how would youuse random numbers to eliminate the need for change?c In the long run, why is this method fair to both thestore and the customer?

1. An electronics firm is currently manufacturing an item that has a variable cost of 25Php/unit and aselling price of 50Php/unit. Fixed costs are 700,000Php. Current volume is 30, 000 units. The firmcan substantially improve the product quality by adding a new piece of equipment at an additionalfixed cost of 300,000Php. Variable cost would increase to 30Php/unit but volume should jump to50,000 units due to a higher-quality product. Should the company buy the new equipment?a. Yes, because it will gain a profit of 50,000Php.b. Yes, because it will gain a profit of 250,000Phpc. No, because it will gain a loss of 100,000Phpd. No, because it will not gain anything.e.
