The annual cost C (in thousands of dollars) and revenue R (in thousands of dollars) for a company each year from 2010 through 2016 can be approximated by the models C = 254 – 9t + 1.1t2 and R = 345 + 3.8t where t is the year, with t = 10 corresponding to 2010. (a) Write a function P that represents the annual profit of the company. P(t) =

When the variable cost is reduced for linear total cost and revenue lines, the breakeven point decreases. This is an economic advantage because:a. the revenue per unit will increase.b. the two lines will now cross at zero. c. the profit will increase for the same revenue per unit.d. the total cost line becomes nonlinear.
A manufacturer producer certain items at a labor cost per unit of P 125, material cost per unit is P150, variable cost of P5.00 each. If the item has a selling price of P750, how many units must be manufactured each month for the manufacturer to breakeven if the monthly overhead is P200,000?
In linear breakeven analysis, if a company expects to operate at a point below the breakeven point, the alternative to select is:a. the one with the lower fixed cost.b. the one with the higher fixed cost.c. the one with the lower variable cost.d. the one with the higher variable cost.

A small company that manufactures automatic blowdown control valves (for applications where boilers are operated unsupervised for 24 to 36 hours) has fixed cost of ₱156838 per year and variable cost of ₱858 per valve. If the company expects to sell 17313 valves per year, then the selling price in order for the company to break even is ₱_________. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.
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%?
In an order fulfillment facility, the shipping lead time is estimated to be 3-5 days from receiving orders. 1000 similar orders are placed at the beginning of a week. If 885 orders are shipped successfully, 50 orders are shipped but returned for addresses problems and the remaining are delayed, what is the order fulfillment rate of this facility?
The ABC Manufacturing Company incurs an annual fixed cost of $100,000 to maintain its production facilities. Additionally, the variable cost per unit produced is $10. If the company produces and sells 5,000 units in a year, what is the total annual cost?
A chemical engineer is considering two sizes of pipes for moving distillate from a refinery to the tank farm. A small pipeline will cost less to purchase (including valves and other appurtenances), but will have a high head loss and, therefore, a higher pumping cost. The small pipeline will cost $1.7 million installed and have an operating cost of $12,000 per month. A larger-diameter pipeline will cost $2.1 million installed, but its operating cost will be only $8000 per month. Which pipe size is more economical at an interest rate of 1% per month on the basis of an annual worth analysis? Assume the salvage value is 10% of the first cost for each pipeline at the end of the 10-year project.
A particular product has a unit price that starts at $78 with a $0.1 discount for each unit purchased. If the fixed cost is $800/month and the variable cost per unit is $30/unit, determine the demand quantity that maximizes the savings of making and the breakeven quantities.

How many books will a publisher have to sell to breakeven if fixed costs are $100,000, the selling price perbook is $60, and the variable costs per book are $40?
In the breakeven analysis, fixed costs are constant. Over time these expenses can change. Give some examples of fixed costs that change over time.
