A factory manager is planning for the manufacture of plywood to be sold overseas. The fixed cost of operation is estimated at $800,000 per month while the variable cost is $155 per thousand board feet of plywood. The selling price will depend on how much will be produced and sold and is determined by the relationship, price per thousand board feet, p = $600 – 0.05D, where D is the amount produced and sold in thousands of board feet. Determine the range of profitable production. For profitable production, production must be at least thousands of board feet per month, but not more than (Round to the nearest unit.)

The publishing company is publishing a book for business economics for which it has estimated the following total fixed and average variable cost: Total fixed cost $ 100,000 Average Variable Cost $ 20 Selling Price $ 30 Determine the breakeven output and total sales revenues. Determine the output that would generate a total profit of $ 60000 and total sales revenue at that output level. If total fixed cost reduced to $ 40,000 then what is the breakeven point. How much units they have to sale if they require to have a profit of $ 60,000. Find out the publisher breakeven point if fixed cost remain same at $ 100,000 but the variable cost reduced to $10. Also find out the breakeven point if profit of $60,000 has to be earned. Find out the breakeven and sales at required profit of $60,000 if all cost remain same but the price per unit increased to $40.
