a. Determine the sales volume, fixed cost, and variable cost per unit at the break-even point. b. Determine the expected profit if Bright Day projects the following data for Delatine: sales, 3,800 bottles; fixed cost, $35,000; and variable cost per unit, $10. c. Bright Day is considering new circumstances that would change the conditions described in Requirement b. Specifically, the company has an opportunity to decrease variable cost per unit to $8 if it agrees to conditions that will increase fixed cost to $45,000. Volume is expected to remain constant at 3,800 bottles. Determine the effects on the company's profitability if this opportunity is accepted.

Assume that the operations manager of a small semi-conductor manufacturer wants to run a Simulation model to better understand the uncertainties related to cost and demand for a particular product. He assumes that the total cost per month could be anywhere between $150,000 and $200,000 with equal likelihood. He also assumes that the demand is normally distributed with a mean of 5,000 items per month and a standard deviation of 1,000. Each item is sold for $95. a) Use the random numbers in the following table to simulate the costs, revenues and profits per month. Use Random Number A to generate the costs and Random Number B to generate the revenues per month and then calculate the profit as the difference between revenues and costs. Complete the table by reporting the minimum, maximum and average profit per month according to this simulation.
