- A). A product is currently made in a process-focused shop, where fixed costs are $9,000 per year and variable cost is $50 per unit. The firm sells the product for $150 per unit. What is the break-even point for this operation? What is the profit (or loss) on a demand of 200 units per year? B). A newly opened bed-and-breakfast projects the following: Monthly fixed costs $10,000 Variable cost per occupied room per night $40 Revenue per occupied room per night $165 How many rooms would have to be occupied per month in order to break even?arrow_forwardDaimler Chrysler’s plant that builds Viper and Prowler is the Motor City’s “hottest ticket.” The Viper-Prowler plant is not your typical Detroit assembly operation. Instead of mass production techniques using robots, it’s “craftsman-style” production for hand-building Vipers and Prowlers. With mass production, Daimler Chrysler can produce up to 75 cars per hour. With late shifts, Daimler Chrysler’s nearby Jefferson North Assembly Plant can crank out 1,114 Jeep Grand Cherokees in a 24-hour workday. By comparison, the Viper plant produces 13 Vipers a day and has a capacity for 20 Prowlers. A t 392,000 square feet, the Viper plant is a boutique compared to most massive auto plants, such as Saturn Corp.’s Spring Hill, Tenn., manufacturing complex, which is 5 million square feet. The Jefferson North plant has 2.4 million square feet. “ We’re not the biggest plant in the area, but we’ve got the best workforce and build the most exciting products—the Plymouth Prowler and Dodge Viper,” said…arrow_forwardMonique Food Processing Company produces light snacks that can be heated in a microwave.
