To be profitable, a firm must recover its costs. These costs include both its fixed and its variable costs. One way that a firm evaluates at what stage it would recover the invested costs is to calculate how many units or how much in dollar sales is necessary for the firm to earn a profit.
Consider the case of Blue Mouse Manufacturers:
Blue Mouse Manufacturers is considering a project that will have fixed costs of $10,000,000. The product will be sold for $37.50 per unit, and will incur a variable cost of $11.25 per unit.
Given Blue Mouse’s cost structure, it will have to sell units to break even on this project (QBEQBE).
All equipment costs will continue to be depreciated on a straight-line basis. For simplicity, ignore income taxes and the time value of money.
Q. Now suppose the one-time equipment cost to replace the production equipment is somewhat negotiable. All other data are as given previously. What is the maximum one-time equipment cost that TechGuide would be willing to pay to replace rather than upgrade the old equipment?
Two different manufacturing processes are being consideredfor making a new product. The first process is less capitalintensive, with fixed costs of only $50,000 per year andvariable costs of $700 per unit. The second process has fixedcosts of $400,000 but has variable costs of only $200 per unit.a. What is the break-even quantity beyond which the secondprocess becomes more attractive than the first?b. If the expected annual sales for the product is 800 units,which process would you choose?

- A company that produces pleasure boats has decided to expand one of its lines. Current facilities are insufficient to handle the increased workload, so the company is considering three alternatives, A (new location), B (subcontract), and C (expand existing facilities). Alternative A would involve substantial fixed costs but relatively low variable costs: fixed costs would be $254,000 per year, and variable costs would be $500 per boat. Subcontracting would involve a cost per boat of $2,500 and fixed cost of $25,000 and expansion would require an annual fixed cost of $120,000 and a variable cost of $1,000 per boat. Which alternative would yield the lowest total cost for an expected annual volume of 150 boats?arrow_forward1. Refer to Kingwood Corporation.

- A company planning to market a new model of motor scooter analyzes the effect of changes in the selling price of the motor scooter, the number of units that will be sold, the cost of making the motor scooter, the effect on Net Working Capital, and the cost of capital for the project. They predict that the break-even point for the sales price for the motor scooter is $2,480. What does this mean? O If the motor scooter is sold for $2,480, then the project will make a profit. O If the motor scooter is sold for $2,480, then the net present value (NPV) for the product will be zero. O The predicted selling price of the motor scooter is $2,480. O The maximum that the motor scooter can sell for and still make the project have a positive net present value (NPV) is $2,480.arrow_forwardA newly formed company must decide on a plant location. There are two alternatives under consideration: locate near the major raw materials or locate near the major customers. Locating near the raw materials will result in lower fixed and variable costs than locating near the market, but the owners believe that there would be a loss in sales volume because customers tend to favour local suppliers. Revenue per unit will be $160 in either case. Annual fixed costs ($ millions) Variable cost per unit Expected annual demand (units) Near raw materials Near customers 1. Using the above given information, determine the profits for each alternative. (Negative answers should be indicated by a minus sign.) 64 2. Which location would produce greater profit?
