Textbook Question
Chapter 9, Problem 19P
Because of the expected high demand for Mach 10, Creative Leisure has decided to increase manufacturing time available to produce the Mach 10 (see Problem 9.17).
- a. If demand remained the same but 300 minutes were available each day on the assembly line, how many workstations would be needed?
- b. What would be the efficiency of the new system, using the actual number of workstations from (a)?
- c. What would be the impact on the system if 400 minutes were available?

- A small firm intends to increase the capacity of a bottleneck operation by adding a new machine. Two alternatives, A and B, have been identified, and the associated costs and revenues have been estimated. Annual fixed costs would be $36,000 for A and $31,000 for B; variable costs per unit would be $7 for A and $11 for B; and revenue per unit would be $18. a. Determine each alternative’s break-even point in units. (Round your answer to the nearest whole amount.) b. At what volume of output would the two alternatives yield the same profit (or loss)?
