Module 1, Solving Equations Assignment
Many companies make products to sell, either to other businesses or directly to consumers. The amount of money that a company collects from sales of its products is called its revenue
. When a business produces a product, there are costs
associated with production. For example, if a cola company is producing a diet cola, they incur costs from purchasing ingredients, aluminum to make cans, cardboard to make boxes, as well as the cost of paying their employees, and more. The profit
that a company earns is the difference between the amount earned and the amount spent. Consider the lip color product from each of the two competing high-end cosmetic companies described below. The Alcone Company Besame Beauty This company makes a popular shade of lip color that retails for $45 per tube. The lip color costs The Alcone Company $36 per tube to make and the monthly costs associated with manufacturing just this color are $1,500. A popular shade of lip color from this company costs the consumer $55 per tube. The process to make the lip color costs Besame Beauty $44 per tube and the monthly costs associated with this are $2,200. Use the information given to explore some of the mathematical concepts you have practiced so far by answering the questions below. 1. Develop a single formula you can use to find the profit earned by both The Alcone Company
and Besame Beauty for their lip color. Explain why your formula will work for both companies.
2. Write an expression that each company can use to describe the amount of money they will
earn from selling their lip colors. Let x represent the number of tubes of lip color each company
sells.
3. Write an expression that each company can use to describe the amount of money it costs them
to manufacture the lip color each month. Let x represent the number of tubes of lip color each
company sells.
4. Use your responses to questions 1, 2, and 3 to write fully simplified expressions each business
could use to find their monthly profit. State which property of algebra you are using at each step.
Remember that x represents the number of tubes of lip color each company sells.
5. If each company makes 225 tubes of their lip color this month, what amount of profit can they
expect? Interpret your answers in terms of the problem’s context.
6. If each company makes and sells 150 tubes of their lip color this month, what amount of profit
can they expect? Interpret your answers in terms of the problem’s context.
7. Explain how you used the order of operations to help you answer questions 5 and 6.
8. Explain how you figure out the number of tubes of lip color each company would need to
manufacture and sell in order to earn a profit that is greater than 0.
9. Implement your plan from question 8. What is the minimum number of lip color tubes each
company would need to manufacture and sell in order to earn a profit that is greater than 0?
Interpret your answers in context of the question.

CVP Analysis: Sales-Revenue Approach, Pricing, After-Tax Target Income
Mahan Consulting is a service organization that specializes in the design, installation, and servicing of mechanical, hydraulic, and pneumatic systems. For example, some manufacturing firms, with machinery that cannot be turned off for servicing, need some type of system to lubricate the machinery during use. To deal with this type of problem for a client, Mahan designed a central lubricating system that pumps lubricants intermittently to bearings and other moving parts.
The operating results for the firm for the previous year are as follows:
Sales
$974,880
Less: Variable expenses
534,234
Contribution margin
$440,646
Less: Fixed expenses
264,300
Operating income
$176,346
In the coming year, Mahan expects variable costs to increase by 4 percent and fixed costs to increase by 3 percent.

Final Price and Profit Equations
This exercise will help you identify and understand what goes into determining both the final price for a purchased product as well as the equation for the profit on a product.
Among all marketing and operations factors in a business firm, price has a unique role. It is the place where all other business decisions come together. The price must be "right"—in the sense that customers must be willing to pay it; it must generate enough sales dollars to pay for the cost of developing, producing, and marketing the product; and it must earn a profit for the company. Small changes in price can have big effects on both the number of units sold and company profit.
Read the case below and answer the questions that follow.
You are shopping for a new printer to take back to college with you. You decide on the PIXMA iP100 due to its superior photo print quality and are now looking for the best price. Different stores have different deals, plus the…

APPLY THE CONCEPTS: Target income (sales revenue)
Another useful method for figuring out the type of performance your company will need to reach a target income is by using sales revenue. Rather than using the number of units, this method uses total sales revenue. In companies for which the total set of goods produced and sold is more varied, this would be the preferred method, as opposed to a business in which only one product is sold. Assume a company has pricing and cost information as follows:
Price and Cost Information
Amount
Selling Price per Unit
$30
Variable Cost per Unit
$15
Total Fixed Cost
$15,000
For the upcoming period, the company wishes to generate operating income of $40,000. Given the cost and pricing structure for the company’s product, how much sales revenue must it generate to attain its target income?
Step 1: Calculate the contribution margin ratio:
The contribution margin ratio is the contribution margin in proportion to the selling price on a…

Asbury Coffee Enterprises (ACE) manufactures two models of coffee grinders: Personal and Commercial. The Personal grinders have a
smaller capacity and are less durable than the Commercial grinders. ACE only recently began producing the Commercial model. Since
the introduction of the new product, profits have been steadily declining, although sales have been increasing. The management at
ACE believes that the problem might be in how the accounting system allocates costs to products.
Direct materials.
Direct labor
The current system at ACE allocates manufacturing overhead to products based on direct labor costs. For the most recent year, which
is representative, manufacturing overhead totaled $2,023,500 based on production of 30,000 Personal grinders and 10,000
Commercial grinders. Direct costs were as follows:
Cost Driver
Number of production runs
Quality tests performed
Shipping orders processed
Total overhead
