BVM manufactured and sold 25,000 small statues this past year. At that volume, the firm was exactly in a breakeven situation in terms of profitability. BVM’s unit costs are expected to increase by 30% next year. What additional information is needed to determine how much the production volume/sales would have to increase next year to just break even in terms of profitability? (a) Costs per unit (b) Sales price per unit and costs per unit (c) Total fixed costs, sales price per unit, and costs per unit (d) No data is needed, the volume increase is 25, 000 + 25, 000(0.30) = 32, 500 units.

A paint manufacturing company uses a sand mill for fine grinding of paint witn an output of 100 liters per hour using glass beads as grinding media. Media load in the mill is 25 kg costing ₱200.00 per kg and is fully replenished in 2 months time at 8 hours per day operation, 25 days a month. A ceramic grinding media is offered to this paint company, costing ₱400 per kg and needs 30 kg load in the sand mill, but guarantees an output of 120 liters per hour and full replenishment of media in 3 months. If profit on paint production is ₱15 per literl which media is more profitable and how much is the difference in profit?

A diesel engine uses type A filter and high end lubricating oil costing $5.50 per liter. With this filter the oil and filter have to be change every 500 hours of operation, and 5 liters of oil have to be added every 100 hours. This filter costs $148 per piece. 80 liters of oil fill the engine. Another type, Filter B, costing $120 may be used with a lower grade of oil costing $4.80 per liter. However if this filter is used, the oil and the filter had to be change every 300 hrs and 10 liters are added after each 150 hrs the engine is used. Which type of filter would you recommend?
9. A machine part can be exhausted either from aluminum or steel. There is an order of 8,000 units.Steel costs 3.80Php/kg, while aluminum cost 8.70Php/kg. If steel is used, the steel per unit weighs110g and 30g for aluminum. In production, steel is 50 units/hr and 80units/hr with an aid of a toolcosting 640Php, which will be useless after the 8,000 units are finished. The cost of the machineoperator is 10.80Php/hr. if all other costs are identical, which material is more economical?

ENGINEERING ECONOMY RATE WILL BE GIVEN. WRITE THE COMPLETE SOLUTIONS/EXPLANATION LEGIBLY OR TYPEWRITTEN. GIVE STRAIGHT TO THE POINT EXPLANATION. A company is analyzing a make-versus-purchase situation for a component used in several products, and the engineering department has developed these data: Option A: Purchase 10,000 items per year at a fixed price of $8.50 per item. The cost of placing the order is negligible according to the present cost accounting procedure. Option B: Manufacture 10,000 items per year, using available capacity in the factory. Cost estimates are direct materials = $5.00 per item and direct labor = $1.50 per item. Manufacturing overhead is allocated at 200% of direct labor (= $3.00 per item). Based on these data, should the item be purchased or manufactured?
A firm purchased some equipment at a very favorable price of $30,000. The equipment reduced costs by $1000 per year during 8 years of use. After 8 years, the equipment was sold for $40,000. Assuming interest at 9%, did the equipment purchase prove to be desirable?
A subsidiary of a major furniture company manufactures wooden pallets. The plant has the capacity to produce 300,000 pallets per year. Presently the plant is operating at 70% of capacity. The selling price of the pallets is $18.25 per pallet and the variable cost per pallet is $15.75. At zero output, the subsidiary plant’s annual fixed costs are $550,000. This amount remains constant for any production rate between zero and plant capacity. Solve, a. With the present 70% of capacity production, what is the expected annualprofit or loss for the subsidiary plant. b. What annual volume of sales (units) is required in order for the plant to break even? c. What would be the annual profit or loss if the plant were operating at 90% of capacity? d. If fixed costs could be reduced by 40%, what would be the new breakeven sales volume?
Solve all this question......you will not solve all questions then I will give you down?? upvote.... Jenny is an engineer for a municipal power plant. The plant uses natural gas, which is currently provided from an existing pipeline at an annual cost of $10000 per year. Jenny is considering a project to construct a new pipeline. The initial cost of the new pipeline would be $35000, but it would reduce the annual cost to $5000 per year. Assume an analysis period of 20 years and no salvage value for either the new or existing pipeline. The interest rate is 6%. Show work a) Determine the equivalent uniform annual cost (EUAC) for the new pipeline. b) Should the new pipeline be built?
A student's course grade is based on one midterm that counts as 20% of his final grade, one class project that counts as 25% of his final grade, a set of homework assignments that counts as 50% of his final grade, and a final exam that counts as 5% of his final grade. His midterm score is 63, his project score is 82, his homework score is 90, and his final exam score is 70. What is his overall final score? What letter grade did he earn (A, B, C, D, or F)? Assume that a mean of 90 or above is an A, a mean of at least 80 but less than 90 is a B, and so on. His overall final score is nothing. (Type an integer or a decimal rounded to one decimal place as needed.) His letter grade is (1) (1) C. F. D. B. A.
