ABC Ltd. Wants to choose the best location for its new aluminum plant. The manager ofproductions and operations has three possible locations to choose from. His assistantrecommends that he use break-even analysis location technique to help determine whichlocation is best based on costs. Assuming: Total fixed cost = 80,000 Price per unit= 20 AVC (Average variable cost) = 40 Break-even point= Total fixed cost / (AVC-Price per unit) Break-even point = 80,000/ (40-20) Break-even point = 4,000 1) Demonstrate to the OM manager how to go about choosing the best location using thenumerical example designed above.
