  1. The Rolling Creek Textile Mill produces denim. The fixed monthly cost is $21,000, and the variable cost per yard of denim is $0.45. The mill sells a yard of denim for $1.30.
  2. For a monthly volume of 18,000 yards of denim, determine the total cost, total revenue, and profit.
  3. Determine the annual break-even volume for the Rolling Creek Textile Mill.
  4. Graphically illustrate the break-even volume for the Rolling Creek Textile Mill determined in

Problem 1.

  1. The General Store at State University is an auxiliary bookstore located near the dormitories that sells academic supplies, toiletries, sweatshirts and T-shirts, magazines, packaged food items, and canned soft drinks and fruit drinks. The manager of the store has noticed that several pizza delivery services near campus make frequent deliveries. The manager is therefore considering selling pizza at the store. She could buy premade frozen pizzas and heat them in an oven. The cost of the oven and freezer would be $27,000. The frozen pizzas cost $3.75 each to buy from a distributor and to prepare (including labor and a box). To be competitive with the local delivery services, the manager believes she should sell the pizzas for $8.95 apiece. The manager needs to write up a proposal for the university’s director of auxiliary services.
  2. Determine how many pizzas would have to be sold to break even.
  3. If The General Store sells 20 pizzas per day, how many days would it take to break even?
  4. The manager of the store anticipates that once the local pizza delivery services start

losing business, they will react by cutting prices. If after a month (30 days) the manager

has to lower the price of a pizza to $7.95 to keep demand at 20 pizzas per day, as she expects, what will the new break-even point be, and how long will it take the store to break even?

 

  1. Maria Eagle is a Native American artisan. She works part time making bowls and mugs by hand from special pottery clay and then sells her items to the Beaver Creek Pottery Company, a Native American crafts guild. She has 60 hours available each month to make bowls and mugs, and it takes her 12 hours to make a bowl and 15 hours to make a mug. She uses 9 pounds of special clay to make a bowl, and she needs 5 pounds to make a mug; Maria has 30 pounds of clay available each month. She makes a profit of $300 for each bowl she delivers, and she makes $250 for each mug. Determine all the possible combinations of bowls and mugs Maria can make each month, given her limited resources, and select the most profitable combination of bowls and mugs Maria should make each month. Find the solution and graph.
