The Blair Company's three assembly plants are located in California, Georgia, and New Jersey. Previously, the company purchased a major
subassembly, which becomes part of the final product, from an outside firm. Blair has decided to manufacture the subassemblies within the company
and must now consider whether to rent one centrally located facility (e.g., in Missouri, where all the subassemblies would be manufactured) or to rent
three separate facilities, each located near one of the assembly plants, where each facility would manufacture only the subassemblies needed for the
nearby assembly plant. A single, centrally located facility, with a production capacity of 18,000 units per year, would have fixed costs of $900,000 per
year and a variable cost of $250 per unit. Three separate decentralized facilities, with production capacities of 8,000, 6,000, and 4,000 units per year,
would have fixed costs of $475,000, $425,000, and $400,000, respectively, and variable costs per unit of only…
PakPerfect Inc. estimates equation of its total costs of production as TC = 500 + 10Q + 5Q2 and market demand for its product as Qd = 105 – (1/2) P, where Q is quantity in units and P is price in Pak$. (need answers of part 3 & 4)
Given above costs can you determine what will be the firm’s production in Stage 1?
What is the breakeven price and breakeven quantity for this firm?
3. What is the shutdown price and quantity for this firm?
4. Draw the firm’s costs in a graph as per your determination in (a). Label the breakeven and shutdown price and quantity using information in (b) and (c) above.
Henleigh Hill, CFO of HH Corp., uses a decentralized company processing center for check collection. She estimates that the total annual cost of collections is currently $300,000. Henleigh is considering switching to a centralized company processing center, but she is worried about the required increase in fixed costs. Use the following assumptions to determine the maximum fixed cost of the centralized company processing center that would make Henleigh indifferent between a decentralized or centralized company processing center.
Number of checks processed per year = 450,000
Average face value of checks = $1,000
Collection float for centralized processing = five days
Variable processing cost per check for centralized processing = $0.25
Opportunity cost rate = 5 percent
