Michael’s Lobster Food Truck has been operating for three years, but he’s yet to make a profit in the competitive food truck industry. Last year, he sold 2,500 items at an average price of $12. It costs him $9 to cover his ingredients for each item, and he also has fixed costs of $8,000 per year to cover for his truck, marketing, insurance, etc. What percentage increase in the number of units sold is required for Michael to break even?
A heavy equipment manufacturing company has produced its first unit using 3500 hours and
$300,000 overhead cost. The next unit, i.e. the second unit took 3300 hours. Overhead cost for this
unit was $200,000. Suppose the labor was $20 per hour. Being the production manager, you need
to decide what would be the total production costs for additional 10 units after the completion of
the second unit. Round the final amount to nearest integer.
