Sap Manufacturing, a manufacturing company that manufactures football jerseys and located in Port Antonio, Jamaica, is preparing to build a new plant. J’s is considering three potential locations that are suitable for the construction of the plant. The fixed and variable costs for the three alternative locations are presented in the table below. Identify the range over which each alternative (A, B and C) is best.
William Green, vice president of manufacturing for computer products (CPC), and his staff are studying three midwestern alternative locations for a new production facility for producing high-resolution scanners. His staff analysts predict that the scanners will be a growing market over the next ten years, and the analyst's group shares marketing's enthusiasm for planning facilities for producing this new product line. The analysts have developed these estimates for the three locations; In what range of production volume would each of the locations be preferred (at the minimum cost)?     Variable cost locations Annual Fixed costs per scanner Cleveland, Ohio $390,000 $34 South Bend, Indiana $360,000 $37 Grand Rapids, Michigan $310,000 $40
The following table shows the fixed cost and variable cost for 3 locations. Construct cost curves for these 3 locations for production from 0 to 200 units at 20 units intervals. What would be the range of production units that would give Location A a competitive advantage? What would be the range for Location B and Location C, respectively?
