Suzy's Temporary Employee (STE) business, located in a big city, can do an online criminal background check in-house for $3.48 per search with a fixed cost of $30,000. A third-party online security firm offered to do a similar security search for $9.00 per person with an annual service contract with STE. If STE's forecast is 3,100 searches next year, should STE continue to do the search in-house or accept the third-party offer? Use the Excel template Break-Even to determine the best decision. Round your answer for the breakeven quantity to the nearest whole number and round your answer for the amount of saving/loss to the nearest dollar.
Breakeven quantity: searches
Since the demand forecast of 3,100 searches is than the breakeven quantity, STE outsource the work. STE $ by outsourcing.

The company’s Marketing Department estimates that demand for the new toy will range between 15,000 units and 35,000 units per month. The new toy will sell for $8.00 per unit. Enough capacity exists in the company’s plant to produce 20,000 units of the toy each month. Variable expenses to manufacture and sell one unit would be $4.00 , and incremental fixed expenses associated with the toy would total $34,000 per month. Neptune has also identified an outside supplier who could produce the toy for a price of $3.00 per unit plus a fixed fee of $47,000 per month for any production volume up to 20,000 units. For a production volume between 20,001 and 45,000 units the fixed fee would increase to a total of $94,000 per month. Required: 1. Calculate the break-even point in unit sales assuming that Neptune does not hire the outside supplier. 2. How much profit with Neptune earn assuming:…arrow_forward
- EMV APPLIED TO CAPACITY DECISION Southern Hospital Supplies, a company that makes hospital gowns, is considering capacity expansion.APPROACH: c Southern’s major alternatives are to do nothing, build a small plant, build a medium plant, or build a large plant. The new facility would produce a new type of gown, and currently the po-tential or marketability for this product is unknown. If a large plant is built and a favorable market ex-ists, a profit of $100,000 could be realized. An unfavorable market would yield a $90,000 loss. However, a medium plant would earn a $60,000 profit with a favorable market. A $10,000 loss would result froman unfavorable market. A small plant, on the other hand, would return $40,000 with favorable marketconditions and lose only $5,000 in an unfavorable market. Of course, there is always the option of doingnothing.Recent market research indicates that there is a .4 probability of a favorable market, which meansthat there is also a .6 probability of an…arrow_forwardStapleton Manufacturing intends to increase capac-ity through the addition of new equipment.

The hospital is at full capacity, but the governing board would like to see an increase in revenue. They’ve tasked you, the hospital administrator, with finding ways to accomplish this. If you are able to raise revenue, the board will provide you with a significant year-end bonus. Currently, 50% of Winchester’s rooms can be converted from having one bed to having two beds, allowing for more patients to be admitted. Doctors, nurses, and other hospital staff are firmly against this move, especially because additional hiring is not planned. These stakeholders make up the vast majority of the hospital workforce. Evaluate this situation using both the utilitarianism and individualistic (ethical egoism) approaches. Define each approach and describe how each would resolve the decision. What would you expect the outcome of each decision to be? Support your conclusions with facts from the situation.arrow_forward
