Elroy Racers makes bicycles. It has always purchased its bicycle tires from the M. Wilson Tires at $25 each but is currently considering making the tires in its own factory. The estimated costs per unit of making the tires are as follows: Direct materials $8 Direct labor $5 Variable manufacturing overhead $7 The company’s fixed expenses would increase by $60,000 per year if managers decided to make the tire.(b)What qualitative factors should Elroy Racers consider in making this decision?
An operations manager is deciding on the level of automation for a new process. The fixed cost for automation includes the equipment purchase price, installation, and initial spare parts. The variable costs per unit for each level of automation are primarily labor related. Each unit can be sold for $81. As in many cases, you have the default alternative of doing nothing ($0 fixed cost, $0 variable costs). Hint: For these questions, also consider the “Do Nothing” option as a viable option when making your decision. Alternative Fixed Costs Variable Costs per Unit A $100,000 $54 B $272,000 $31 C $560,000 $20 Recommended: graph each alternative with units on the x-axis and $ on the y-axis. Also, include revenue on the chart. Identify the break-even points and points of indifference.
A firm has fixed costs of $25,000 associated with the manufacture of lawn mowers that cost $480 per mower to produce. The firm sells all the mowers it produces at $580 each. Find the cost, revenue and profit equations. Find the break-even quantity. (Let x be the number of mowers.)C(x) = R(x) = P(x) = break even quantity= ? mowers

Kenworth Imaging got a $700,000 loan that came with a choice of two different repayment schedules. In Plan 1, the company would have to repay the loan in 4 years with four equal payments at an interest rate of 10% per year. In Plan 2, the company would repay the loan in 3 years, with each payment twice as large as the preceding one. How much larger in dollars was the final payment in Plan 2 than the final payment in Plan 1?

A newly formed company must decide on a plant location. There are two alternatives under consideration: locate near the major raw materials or locate near the major customers. Locating near the raw materials will result in lower fixed and variable costs than locating near the market, but the owners believe that there would be a loss in sales volume because customers tend to favour local suppliers. Revenue per unit will be $160 in either case. Annual fixed costs ($ millions) Variable cost per unit Expected annual demand (units) Near raw materials Near customers 1. Using the above given information, determine the profits for each alternative. (Negative answers should be indicated by a minus sign.) 64 2. Which location would produce greater profit? O Near raw materials O Near customers Near Raw Materials $0.90 $ 40 8,600 Near Customers $1.00 $ 45 13,300
The Chopin Company has decided to introduce a new product. The new product can be manufactured by either a computer-assisted manufacturing (CAM) or a labor-intensive production (LIP) system. The manufacturing method will not affect the quality of the product. The estimated manufacturing costs for each of the two methods are as follows. CAM System: Direct Material = $5.0 Direct Labor (DLH) = 0.5 DLH X $12 = $6 Variable Overhead = 0.5DLHx$6 = $3 Fixed Iverhead* = $ 2,440,000 LIP System: Direct Material = $5.6 Direct Labor (DLH) = 0.8 DLH X $9 = $7.2 Variable Overhead = 0.8 DLH X $6 = $4.8 Fixed Overhead* = $1,320,000 *These costs are directly traceable to the new product line. They would not be incurred if the new product were not produced. The company’s marketing research department has recommended an introductory unit sales price of $30. Selling expenses are estimated to be $500,000 annually plus $2 for each unit sold. (Ignore income taxes.) Required: Calculate the estimated…
