Suppose executives estimate that the unit variable cost for their DVD recorder is $100, the fixed cost related to the product is $10 million annually, and the target volume for next year is 100,000 recorders. What sales price will be necessary to achieve a target profit of $1 million?
You operate a small wooden toy company making two products: alphabet blocks and wooden trucks. Your profit is $30 per box of blocks and $40 per box of trucks. Producing a box of blocks requires one hour of woodworking and two hours of painting; producing a box of trucks takes three hours of woodworking, but only one hour of painting. You employ three woodworkers and two pointers, each working 40 hours a week. How many boxes of block (B) and trucks (T) should you make each week to maximize profit? Solve graphically as a linear program and confirm analytically.

- How do I figure out the following problem? A product is currently made in a process-focused shop, where fixed costs are $8,000 per year and variable cost is $40 per unit. The firm currently sells 200 units of the product at $200 per unit. A manager is considering a repetitive focus to lower costs (and lower prices, thus raising demand). The costs of this proposed shop are fixed costs = $14,000 per year and variable cost = $10 per unit. If a price of $120 will allow 400 units to be sold, what profit (or loss) can this proposed new process expect? Do you anticipate that the manager will want to change the process?

Group of answer choices With a 7.6% profit margin, decreasing your cost of goods sold (COGS) by $10,000 increases your pre-tax profits by $10,000, but increasing your sales by $10,000 only increases your pre-tax profits by $760. When operating with a 7.6% profit margin, your cost of goods sold will be $10,000 as long as your sales exceed $10,000. With a 7.6% profit margin, every additional $10,000 in sales increases your pre-tax profits by $10,000, while every $10,000 saved in purchasing increases your pre-tax profits by just $760. If your profit margin is 7.6%, every $10,000 saved in purchasing lowers your COGS sold by $760.arrow_forward
