Eckhart Corp. reports that at an activity level of 5,800 machine-hours in a month, its total variable inspection cost is $348,240 and its total fixed inspection cost is $128,500. What would be the total variable inspection cost at an activity level of 6,100 machine-hours in a month? Assume that this level of activity is within the relevant range. Solve this

CleanTech manufactures equipment to mitigate the environmental effects of waste. (a) If Product A has fixed expenses of $15,000 per year and each unit of product has a $0.20 variable cost, and Product B has fixed expenses of $5000 per year and a $0.50 variable cost, at what number of units of annual production will A have the same overall cost as B? (b) As a manager at CleanTech what other data would you need to evaluate these two products?
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.

An engineering consulting firm measures its output in a standard service hour unit, which is a function of the personnel grade levels in the professional staff. The variable cost (cv) is $62 per standard service hour. The charge-out rate [i.e., selling price (p)] is $85.56 per hour. The maximum output of the firm is 160,000 hours per year, and its fixed cost (CF ) is $2,024,000 per year. For this firm, (a) what is the breakeven point in standard service hours and in percentage of total capacity? (b) what is the percentage reduction in the breakeven point (sensitivity) if fixed costs are reduced 10%; if variable cost per hour is reduced 10%; and if the selling price per unit is increased by 10%?
Song, Inc., uses the high-low method to analyze cost behavior. The company observed that at 20,000 machine hours of activity, total maintenance costs averaged $34.30 per hour. When activity jumped to 27,000 machine hours, which was still within the relevant range, the average total cost per machine hour was $27.30. On the basis of this information, the variable cost per machine hour was (Round your final answer to 2 decimal places): On the basis of this information, the fixed cost was (Round your Intermedlate calculatlons to 2 declmal places final answer to nearest dollar amount): On the basis of this information, what were total maintenance costs when the company experienced 25,000 machine hours? (Round your Intermedlate calculatlons to 2 declmal places final answer to nearest dollar amount.)

Lakeside Incorporated produces a product that currently sells for $62 per unit. Current production costs per unit include direct materials, $16.5; direct labor, $18.5; variable overhead, $11.5; and fixed overhead, $11.5. Product engineering has determined that certain production changes could refine the product quality and functionality. These new production changes would increase material and labor costs by 20% per unit. Required: a. What would be the incremental profit or loss if Lakeside could sell the refined version of its product for $68 per unit? Note: Do not round your intermediate calculations. Round your final answer to 2 decimal places. Loss amounts should be indicated with a minus sign. b. Should it be processed further? a. Incremental Profit (Loss) b. Should it be processed further?
