I also have some confuse for the decision: system B is more beneficial then system A due to lower negative NPV from system A. Should we need compare with negative NPV or cost per year? For negative NPV, system A ($541,843)is lower negative NPV than system B($706,984.82). On the other hand, system B ($167,116.14) is lower cost of each year than system A ($174,652.85). Thank you ~

Which one of the following statement is not correct? O Both fixed and variable costs influence short-term decision-making. O Short-term decision-making is all about analysing those costs that will change as a result of taking a particular action. O Opportunity costs are only considered when resources are limited. O Break-even analysis is used to determine how many units of a product or a service a business has to sell to cover all its costs.
A company's fixed operating costs are $360,000, its variable costs are $2.95 per unit, and the product's sales price is $5.10. What is the company's break-even point; that is, at what unit sales volume will its income equal its costs? Round your answer to the nearest whole number.
EA5. LO 9.4 Assume you are the department B manager for Marley's Manufacturing. Marley's operates under a cost-based transfer structure. Assume you receive the majority of your raw materials from department A, which sells only to department B (they have no outside sales). After calculating the operating income in dollars and operating income in percentage, analyze the following financial information to determine costs that may need further investigation. (Hint: It may be helpful to perform a vertical analysis.)

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
Eaton Tool Company has fixed costs of $435,600, sells its units for $94, and has variable costs of $50 per unit. a. Compute the break-even point. Break-even point b. Ms. Eaton comes up with a new plan to cut fixed costs to $340,000. However, more labor will now be required, which will increas variable costs per unit to $53. The sales price will remain at $94. What is the new break-even point? Note: Round your answer to the nearest whole number. New break-even point units Profitability will be less Profitability will be more units c. Under the new plan, what is likely to happen to profitability at very high volume levels (compared to the old plan)?
Can you please explain the statement with an example? Also, check whether my understanding of the example is correct. "If using the same unit fixed costs at different output levels, managers may reach erroneous conclusions. Total fixed costs should be used." My Understanding: For example, if the capacity is 1000 and currently we produce 1000 units and sell it for $20 per unit, variable cost $5 and the fixed cost $10 per unit (within the relevant range); and we have a special order to produce 1200 units for $8 per unit. Should we include additional the Total Fixed Cost of $10000, which is (10*1000) for the range (1001-2000) plus $10000 for the range (0-1000), which means, we will have a total fixed cost of $20000.
