Gooey Bites sells snack packs for $3 per pack. Variable expenses involved in producing snack packs are estimated to be $1 per pack and fixed costs for operating the production line are estimated to be $14,000. After making changes to the production line, Gooey Bites made a profit of $36,000 by selling 20,000 snack packs. Variable costs were modified by the line changes but fixed costs were unaffected. What is the new variable cost per pack? a. $0.33 b. $0.50 c. $1.00 d. $1.50
Briley Cosmetics manufactures and distributes a wide range of skin care products. A recent order has arrived for 10,000 cartons of face cream, 5,000 cases of body cream, and 15,000 cases of hand cream. The manufacturing process consists of a two-stage procedure that uses two types of raw materials (A and B). Briley’s monthly production capacity (first shift) is 15,000 labor-hours for stage 1 and 10,000 for stage 2. The first shift hourly rates are $8.50 for stage 1 and $9.25 for stage 2. A second shift is available with a 10% reduction in capacity and a 10% increase in wage rates. The cost for raw materials is $1/pound for Type A and $1.50/pound for Type B. The manufacturing facility has available for the next production run 200,000 pounds of Type A and 150,000 pound of Type B. The following table summarizes the resource requirements to produce each product. Briley can also subcontract with a local supplier for face cream and body cream at a cost of $40/carton and $55/carton,…
The following cost-output data were obtained as part of a study of the economies of scale in operating a charter high school in Wisconsin: (see attachment) 3. What type of cost-output relationship (linear, quadratic, cubic) is suggested by these statistical results? 4.What variables (other than enrollment) would appear to be most important in explaining variations in operating expenditures per student? 5.Holding constant the effects of the other variables ( through ), determine the enrollment level (Q) at which average operating expenditures per student are minimized. (Hint: Find the value of Q that minimizes the (∂C/∂Q function.) 6.Again, holding constant the effects of the other variables, use the ∂C/ ∂Q function to determine, for a school with 500 students, the reduction in per-student operating expenditures that will occur as the result of adding one more student. 7.Again, holding the other variables constant, what would be the saving in perstudent operating expenditures of an…

Given information: Fixed factory overhead costs: $60,000 Fixed selling overhead costs: $12,000 Variable manufacturing cost per unit: $12 Variable selling cost per unit: $3 Selling price per unit: $24 1. What is the break-even point in terms of units? Explain how you calculated your answer. 2. What is the dollar value of the sales for that number of units? Explain how you calculated your answer. 3. How many units would need to be sold if wanting to earn $90,000 profit? Explain how you calculated your answer. 4. What would the sales price be if wanting to earn $90,000 profit, but capacity is constrained at 8,000 units? Explain how you calculated your answer. 5.

Which of the ff statements are true about cost function a. It estimate the total cost of production given a specific budget b. It helps predict what the marginal cost would be to produce a product at different levels of output c. It allows management to evaluate how efficiently the production process was at the beginning of the operation period d. It helps manager understand the price behavior of the product A firm profit maximization point is where a. Total revenue Is greater than total cost b. Marginal revenue is equal to marginal cost c. Marginal revenue is greater than total cost d. Marginal cost is less than total cost
A firm faces the following costs: total cost of capital = $1,000; price paid for labor = $12 per labor unit; and price paid for raw materials = $4 per raw-material unit. a. Suppose the firm can produce 5,000 units of output this year by combining its fixed capital with 100 units of labor and 450 units of raw materials. What are the total cost and average total cost of producing the 5,000 units of output? b. Now assume the firm improves its production process so that it can produce 6,000 units of output this year by combining its fixed capital with 100 units of labor and 450 units of raw materials. What are the total cost and average total cost of producing the 6,000 units of output? c. If units of output can always be sold for $1 each, then by how much does the firm’s profit increase after it improves its production process? d. Suppose that implementing the improved production process would require a one-time-only cost of $1,100. If the firm only considers this year’s profit, would…
