Mechanix is a machine shop and a paper manufacturing plant gave it a P100,000.00 budget to fabricate a machine part needed for their preventive maintenance program. There are two material options, steel, and alloy steel which have approximately the same weight per item which is 0.36 kg. Steel costs P60.50 per kg and alloy costs P 100 per kg. Two sets of lathe and milling machines will do the work with their corresponding operators and each has an operating rate cost of P88.67 per hour. Utilizing all available sets of machines, steel can be fabricated at a rate of 20 pieces per hr and alloy can be done 16 pieces per hr but needs a special tool with a cost of P2000.00 good for 220 pieces of finished alloy part. How much is the difference in terms of pcs of STEEL to that of ALLOY type can be manufactured by Mechanix, in pcs?

Mineral water contains 2.5 kg of magnesium per tonne. By using processing method A, 82% of the metal can be recovered at a cost of P 4.00 per tonne of water pump and processed. If method B is used, 68% of the available metal is recovered at a cost of only P 2.80 per tonne of water pumped and processed. The two processes are substantially equal as to investment costs and time requirements. At what selling price for the metal would the two processes be equally economical?

A subsidiary of a major furniture company manufactures wooden pallets. The plant has the capacity to produce 300,000 pallets per year. Presently the plant is operating at 70% of capacity. The selling price of the pallets is $18.25 per pallet and the variable cost per pallet is $15.75. At zero output, the subsidiary plant’s annual fixed costs are $550,000. This amount remains constant for any production rate between zero and plant capacity. Solve, a. With the present 70% of capacity production, what is the expected annualprofit or loss for the subsidiary plant. b. What annual volume of sales (units) is required in order for the plant to break even? c. What would be the annual profit or loss if the plant were operating at 90% of capacity? d. If fixed costs could be reduced by 40%, what would be the new breakeven sales volume?
