The cost of producing a small transistor radio set consists of P23.00 for labor and P 370.00 for material. the fixed charges in operating the plant is P 100,000.00 per month. The variable cost is P 10.00 per set. The radio set can be sold for P 750.00 each. Determine how many sets must be produced per month to break-even.

Hatch Manufacturing produces multiple machine parts. The theoretical cycle time for one of its products is 65 minutes per unit. The budgeted conversion costs for the manufacturing cell dedicated to the product are 12,960,000 per year. The total labor minutes available are 1,440,000. During the year, the cell was able to produce 0.6 units of the product per hour. Suppose also that production incentives exist to minimize unit product costs. Required: 1. Compute the theoretical conversion cost per unit. 2. Compute the applied conversion cost per minute (the amount of conversion cost actually assigned to the product). 3. Discuss how this approach to assigning conversion cost can improve delivery time performance. Explain how conversion cost acts as a performance driver for on-time deliveries.
Dimitri Designs has capacity to produce 30,000 desk chairs per year and is currently selling all 30,000 for $240 each. Country Enterprises has approached Dimitri to buy 800 chairs for $210 each. Dimitris normal variable cost is $165 per chair, including $50 per unit in direct labor per chair. Dimitri can produce the special order on an overtime shift, which means that direct labor would be paid overtime at 150% of the normal pay rate. The annual fixed costs will be unaffected by the special order and the contract will not disrupt any of Dimitris other operations. What will be the impact on profits of accepting the order?
Markson and Sons leases a copy machine with terms that include a fixed fee each month plus acharge for each copy made. Markson made 9,000 copies and paid a total of $480 in January. In April, they paid $320 for 5,000 copies. What is the variable cost per copy if Markson uses the high-low method to analyze costs?
Suppose that a company is spending 60,000 per year for inspecting, 30,000 for purchasing, and 40,000 for reworking products. A good estimate of nonvalue-added costs would be a. 70,000. b. 130,000. c. 40,000. d. 90,000. e. 100,000.
Gelbart Company manufactures gas grills. Fixed costs amount to 16,335,000 per year. Variable costs per gas grill are 225, and the average price per gas grill is 600. Required: 1. How many gas grills must Gelbart Company sell to break even? 2. If Gelbart Company sells 46,775 gas grills in a year, what is the operating income? 3. If Gelbart Companys variable costs increase to 240 per grill while the price and fixed costs remain unchanged, what is the new break-even point?
The cost of producing a small transistor radio set consists of P22.00 for labor and P36.00 for materials. The fixed charges in operating the plant are P100,000 per month. The variable cost is P1.50 per set. The radio set can be sold for P78.00 each. Determine How many sets must be produced per month to each at least P 100,000?

A Civil Engineer produces a certain construction material at a labor cost of P16.20 per piece, materials cost of P38.50 per piece and variable cost of P7.40 per piece. The fixed charges on the business is P100,000 a month. If the product is sold for P95.00 each, how many pieces must be made and sold each month to break even?
A foundry produces a pair of eyebolt and nut at a labor cost of P0.70 a pair and materials cost of P1.60 a pair. The fixed charged on the business are P25,000 a month and the variable cost is P0.50 per pair. If the eyebolt and nut sell for P5.50 a pair, how many pairs must be produced each month for the foundry to break even?
Process A has a fixed cost of $160,000 per year and a variable cost of $50 per unit. For Process B, 10 units can be produced in 1 day at a cost of $200. If the company’s MARR is 10% per year, what will the annual fixed cost have to be for Process B in order for the two alternatives to have the same annual total cost at a production rate of 1000 units per year?
Machine A has a fixed cost of P40,000 per year and a variable cost of P6 per unit. Machine B has an unknown fixed cost but with this process, 250 units can be produced each month at a total variable cost of P2,000. If the total costs of the two machines break-even at a production rate of 2000 units per year, what is the total fixed cost of Machine B?
