Assume instead of one product (BBQ sandwich), Mei & Wei's Grill served three products: the BBQ sandwich, which sold for $12 and had variable costs of 40% of sales price; the beef Taco, which sold for $9 and had variable costs of 35%, and the Mac and Cheese Pulled Pork, which sold for $12 and had variable costs of 50%. Fixed costs were expected to remain at $10,000 per year (180 operational days) and income taxes were expected to be 20%. On a typical day, Mei and Wei would serve 125 customers. 25 customers would order Mac and Cheese Pulled Pork, 25 would order beef Tacos, and 75 would order BBQ sandwich. Assuming a constant sales mix, if the entrepreneurs wish to earn a target profit of $100,000 after tax, how many units of each item must be sold?

A construction crew (that is currently unemployed and receiving $10/hr. in benefits) to fix a road. The cement is purchased from a rip-off monopolist that charges $10/bag more than anyone else. The Follow-up maintenance will be done after 1 year, using a different crew that we will assume is not unemployed. We will also assume the interest rate is 7%. The cost estimate provided by the contractor’s accountant is given in the table below: ITEM Quantity Wage Price Total Labor 1,000 hours $20/hour $20,000 Cement 500 $50 $25,000 Follow up maint. 500 $20/hr $10,000 Project Total $55,000 The opportunity cost of the project is Group of answer choices $55,000 $41,000 $39,000 $33,000
Smith Manufacturing is a major player in the lawn sprinkler business. Their high-end sprinkler is used commercially and is quite popular with golf course greens keepers. In producing these sprinklers Smith’s fixed cost (CF) is $50,000 per month with a variable cost (cv) of $10 per unit. The selling price for these high-end sprinklers is described by the equation p=$90 – 0.2(D). a) What is the optimal volume of sprinklers? b) Does Smith make a profit at that volume? Thank you.
State whether actual (A) or estimated (E) costs are more likely to be used to carry out the following activities: calculate taxes, make bids, pay bonuses, determine profit or loss, predict sales, set prices, evaluate proposals, distribute resources, plan production, and set goals.
Owen conner works part time packaging software for a local distribution company in indiana. The annual fixed cost is $15,000 for this process, direct labor is $4.00 per package, and material is $5.00 per package. The selling price will be $15.00 per package. How much revenue do we need to take in before breaking even? What is the break even point in units?
Paradise Pottery had the following costs in May when production is 800 ceramic pots: materials, $8,700; labor (variable), $2,900; depreciation, $1,100; rent, $900; and other fixed costs, $1,500. If production changes to 900 units, how much will the total variable costs and total fixed costs be, respectively?
A study of 86 savings and loan associations in six northwestern states yielded the following cost function. C� = 3.69 - 0.007999Q� + 0.000005359Q2�2 + 25.0X1�1 (3.69) (3.08) (3.42) (3.50) where C� = average operating expense ratio, expressed as a percentage and defined as total operating expense ($ million) divided by total assets ($ million) times 100 percent. Q� = output; measured by total assets ($ million) X1�1 = ratio of the number of branches to total assets ($ million) Note: The number in parentheses below each coefficient is its respective t-statistic. Holding constant the effects of bank branching (X1�1), what is the level of total assets that minimizes the average operating expense ratio? $746.31 million $1,562.70 million $1,492.63 million $461.31 million What is the average operating expense ratio for a savings and loan association with the level of total assets determined in the previous part and 1 branch?…
Sally Statistics is implementing a system of statistical process control (SPC) charts in her factory in an effort to reduce the overall cost of scrapped product. The current cost of scrap is $X per month. If a 75% learning curve is expected in the use of the SPC charts to reduce the cost of scrap, what would the percentage reduction in monthly scrap cost be after the charts have been used for 6 months? (Hint: Model each month as a unit of production.)
A large company in the communication and publishing industry has quantified the relationship between the price of one of its products and the demand for this product as Price=160−0.02×Demand for an annual printing of this particular product. The fixed costs per year (i.e., per printing)=$47,000 and the variable cost per unit=$40. What is the maximum profit that can be achieved? What is the unit price at this point of optimal demand? Demand is not expected to be more than 4,000 units per year. The maximum profit that can be achieved is $? (Round to the nearest dollar.) The unit price at the point of optimal demand is $? per unit.
