General Motors (GM) is considering introducing a new electric vehicle model. The fixed costs for production are estimated at $500 million per year. Variable costs are projected to be $30,000 per unit. GM expects to sell the vehicle for $45,000 per unit. The company's target profit for the first year is $200 million. Marketing research suggests a potential demand of 50,000 units in the first year. What is the break-even point in units for this new model? How many units does GM need to sell to reach its target profit? Netflix reported the following information in its 2023 annual report: total current assets of $9.8 billion, total assets of $52.3 billion, total current liabilities of $8.9 billion, and total liabilities of $28.5 billion.

Ford Motor Company is considering launching a new line of hybrid diesel-electric SUVS. The heavy advertising expenses associated with the new SUV launch would generate operating losses of $30 million next year. Without the new SUV, Ford expects to earn pretax income of $90 million from operations next year. Ford pays a 20% tax-rate on its pretax income. The amount that Ford Motor Company owes in taxes next year with the launch of the new SUV is closest to: O A. $18.0 million O B. $24.0 million O C. $6.0 million O D. $12.0 million
Honda is considering producing a new line of compact cars called the H-Mini. The new line will require an initial investment in equipment of $300 million and is expected to generate $600 million in revenues for each of the next 3 years (i.e., t=1, t=2, and t=3). The equipment will be depreciated straight-line to $0 over 3 years. Variable costs are estimated to be 70% of the H-Mini sales. Fixed costs will be $30 million a year. For marketing of the new car, Honda plans to use its existing provider, GSD&M. GSD&M has been under contract to provide all of Honda’s marketing services for the past 3 years at $50 million a year, and Honda & GSD&M agreed last month to another three year contract at the same price, independent of Honda’s decision regarding the new product line. The project will require an investment in inventory. At the beginning of the project (i.e., t=0), $50 million of inventory is required. Thereafter, inventory is projected to remain at $50 million each year…
Under pressure from its board of directors, management at Roadside is planning to enter the conventional battery-powered flashlight market. Roadside expects to sell this boring product to wholesalers for $18.12 per unit. Relevant fixed costs will total $334,573, and variable costs to make this product will be $14.57 per unit. Background research estimates the size of the market for conventional flashlights at 1.8 million units per year. If sales of this unit reach breakeven, what market share will Roadside have? Report your answer as a percent. Report 27.5%, for example, as "27.5". Rounding: tenth of a percent.
Grove Audio is considering the introduction of a new model of wireless speakers with the following price and cost characteristics. Sales price $ 450.00 per unit Variable costs 210.00 per unit Fixed costs 764,000 per year Assume that the projected number of units sold for the year is 4,750. Consider requirements (b), (c), and (d) independently of each other. What will the operating profit be? What is the impact on operating profit if the sales price decreases by 20 percent? Increases by 10 percent? What is the impact on operating profit if variable costs per unit decrease by 10 percent? Increase by 20 percent? Suppose that fixed costs for the year are 20 percent lower than projected, and variable costs per unit are 10 percent higher than projected. What impact will these cost changes have on operating profit for the year? Will profit go up? Down? By how much?

Seattle Radiology Group plans to invest in a new CT scanner. The group estimates $1,500 net revenue per scan. Preliminary market assessments indicate that demand will be less than 5,000 scans per year. The group is considering a scanner (Scanner B) that would result in total fixed costs of $800,000 and would yield a profit of $450,000 per year at a volume of 5,000 scans. What is the estimated breakeven volume (in number of scans) for Scanner B?
Wilson Partners manufactures thermocouples for remote temperature monitoring of electronics applications. The current system has a fixed cost of $400,000 per year and a variable cost of $10 per unit. Wilson sells the units for $14 each. A newly proposed system will add on-board features that allow the revenue to increase to $16 per unit, but the fixed cost will now be $600,000 per year. The variable cost of the new system will be based on a $48 per hour rate with 0.2 hour dedicated to produce each unit Plot the two profit relations and estimate graphically the breakeven quantity between the current and proposed systems. Comment on your estimate.
