Please use the following information and use it to complete a few calculations, and answer questions in your paper. The paper ought to be written as a brief (1-1.5 pages) report that includes your calculations and a short explanation of what the firm should do if it is making a loss. A firm currently uses 40,000 workers to produce 100,000 units of output per day. The daily wage per worker is $80, and the price of the firm's output is $41. The cost of other variable inputs is $400,000 per day. Assume that total fixed cost equals $900,000. (Note: Assume that output is constant at the level of 100,000 units per day.) Calculate the values for the following variables using the formulas that are given: · Total Variable Cost = (Number of Workers x Worker’s Daily Wage) + Other Variable Costs · Total Costs = Total Variable Costs + Total Fixed…
Use the following data to solve problem #2: - Fixed costs $2,500 - Variable cost per unit $1.00 - Selling price per unit $6.00 - Run a simulation for production runs in increments of 100 (run 15) - At what production level in the company profitable - What is the amount of profit? - What is the maximum profit under these conditions - Show all work on a spreadsheet
An engineering consulting firm measures its output in a standard service hour unit, which is a function of the personnel grade levels in the professional staff. The variable cost (cv) is $62 per standard service hour. The charge-out rate [i.e., selling price (p)] is $85.56 per hour. The maximum output of the firm is 160,000 hours per year, and its fixed cost (CF ) is $2,024,000 per year. For this firm, (a) what is the breakeven point in standard service hours and in percentage of total capacity? (b) what is the percentage reduction in the breakeven point (sensitivity) if fixed costs are reduced 10%; if variable cost per hour is reduced 10%; and if the selling price per unit is increased by 10%?
Tanner is CEO of Jones Aerospace. The firm manufactures titanium screws utilized on spacecraft. The firm charges $72.00 per unit for screws that cost the firm $25.20 per unit to manufacture; the firm manufactures 26,400 units. The firm has 927,000 in fixed costs per year. Given this information, calculate the following: A: Given the above volume and per unit data, build a contribution statement and calculate expected Net Operating Income. B: What is the firm's Breakeven point (unit volume)? C: What is the firm's Breakeven point (sales dollars)? D: What is the firm's Breakeven point (in units), given Target Net Income of $420,000? E: What is the firm's Margin of Safety, given its current unit volume? F: What is the firm's Margin of Safety Percentage, given the above information?

The management of a firm wants to introduce a new product. The product will sell for $3 a unit and can be produced by either of two scales of operation. In the first, total costs are TC = $3,500 + $2.7Q. In the second scale of operation, total costs are TC = $7,910 + $2.4Q. What is the break-even level of output for each scale of operation? Round your answers to the nearest whole number. The first scale of operation: units The second scale of operation: units What will be the firm’s profits for each scale of operation if sales reach 14,700 units? Round your answers to the nearest dollar. The first scale of operation: $ The second scale of operation: $ One-half of the fixed costs are noncash (depreciation). All other expenses are for cash. If sales are 11,400 units, will cash receipts cover cash expenses for each scale of operation? Enter your answers as positive values. Round your answers to the nearest dollar. The first scale of operation generates a cash flow of $ . The…

A company makes two products A and B, using a CNC milling machine which is classified as a single resource pool. The resource is available for 900 minutes per day. The contribution margins for product A and B are $20 and $35 per unit respectively. The unit loads are 10 and 20 minutes per unit. The company wishes to produce a mix of 60% As and 40% Bs. At the indicated product mix, what is the financial capacity (profit per day)? hint: find a weighted margin per unit, then, multiply it by the effective capacity found in previous question. **$1,508.43 per day **$1,899.03 per day **$1,671.42 per day **$1,775.32 per day
The management estimates that the following costs and activity would be associated with the manufacture and sale of product XYZ: Number of units sold annually→60,000; Required investment in assets→₱500,000; Unit product cost→₱35.00; Selling, general and administrative expenses→₱330,000. It the company uses the absorption costing approach to cost-plus pricing where the desired rate of return on investment (ROI) is 25% and the tax rate is 30%, the required mark-up would be closest to?

a) Build a spreadsheet model that calculates profit or loss, using the principles of good spreadsheet design. If Harris makes 15,000 units, what is the resulting profit? b) Construct a one-way data table with production volume as the column input and profit as the output. Vary production volume from 0 to 100,000 in increments of 10,000. In which interval of production volume does breakeven occur? c) Construct a two-way data table with production volume as the column input and revenue per unit as the row input. Vary production volume from 0 to 100,000 in increments of 10,000. Input the revenue per units as $.75, $.85, $.95, $1.05. d) Use Goal Seek to find the exact breakeven point. Hint: To value: = 0.
