01/A manufacturing concern produces a product which is sold at a price of $10.5 per unit.
The plant's fixed cost is $50000 and its variable cost is $6.5 per unit. How many units should
be produced at the breakeven point? How many units must be produced in order to earn a
profit of $10000? What should the profit on a sales volume of 20000 units be?
3. Amedium-size consulting engineering firm is trying to decide whether it
should replace its office furniture now or wait and do it 1 year from now. If
it waits 1 year, the cost is expected to be $16,000. At an interest rate of 10%
per year,
what would be the equivalent cost now?
