When studying a project, the following variable costs were estimated for a normal production capacity of 140,000 units, with a maximum capacity of 200,000 units: Materials $120,000 Labor $300,000 Other $80,000 Fixed costs are estimated, according to the level of production, in: Production Fixed Cost 0 - 40,000 $320,000 40,001 - 130,000 $380,000 130,001 - 180,000 $420,000 180,001 - 200,000 $500,000 If the selling price of each unit is $15 and the expected production is 100,000 units per year, what is the minimum number of additional units that need to be sold at the price of $11 per unit to show a profit of $762,000 per year? To raise sales to 120,000 units per year, how much could be spent additionally in advertising (fixed cost) so that by maintaining a price of $15, a profit of 20% on sales?

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.
Assume that the moving activity has an expected cost of 80,000. Expected direct labor hours are 20,000, and expected number of moves is 40,000. The best activity for moving is a. 4 per move. b. 1.33 per hour-move. c. 4 per hour. d. 2 per move. e. e None of these.

To raise sales to 120,000 units per year, how much could be spentadditionally in advertising (fixed cost) so that by maintaining a price of $15, a profit of20% on sales?
A project was budgeted at $1,000,000. Meanwhile, the project is executed, and the following current figures have been assessed: PV: $500,000 EV: $450, 000 AC: $550, 000 Assuming that the cost variance was caused by one-time cost drivers, which are no more effective, what estimate at completion (EAC) can you derive from these figures?
At a production level of 6,500 units, a project has total costs of $95,000. The variable cost per unit is $10.80. a) What is the amount of the total fixed costs? b) If the production level is increased to 7,000 units, without any change in the total fixed assets, what is the Total Costs?
Floryn Instruments Co. developed the following regression equations to indicate costs at various activity levels: Direct labor = P4 per unitMaterials = P3 per unitSupervision = P5,000Power = 300 + P0.25 per unit + P0.50 per machine hourFactory supplies = P250 + P0.75 per unitDepreciation—equipment = P1 per machine hourDepreciation—building = P10,000During the next period, the company anticipates production of 20,000 units and usage of 3,000 machine hours.Required: Prepare a schedule of the production costs to be incurred during the next period.
ASAP In the production of a certain product, two operation are available. One willproduce 40 units of the finished product per P1,000.00 worth of raw materialsand will cost P4.20 per unit of the finished product. The other process willproduce 44 units of the finished product per P1,000.00 worth of raw materialsand will cost P5.60 per unit of the finished product. What is the break-even point in unit value of the finished product below which the low efficiency processshould be used and above which high efficiency should be used?
The following estimates have been prepared for a project: Fixed costs: $36,000Depreciation: $24,000Sales price per unit: $4Accounting break-even: 40,000 units What must be the variable cost per unit? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
