Chapter 11.6, Problem 7CC
You are working for a tire manufacturer, producing wire to be used in the tire as a strengthening agent. You are considering implementing a new machining system, and you must present a breakeven analysis to your boss. You develop the graph, showing two possible machines that you can buy.
- a. Which machine has a higher fixed cost?
- b. Which machine has a lower variable cost?
- c. How much wire must be produced on Machine 1 to break even?
- d. If you make 3 million feet of wire, which machine will yield the higher profit?
- e. Which machine has the lower breakeven point?
