A small automotive supply company manufactures fuel gauges for various types of cars.
The company has fixed costs of $1,885,000 per year. The average cost of manufacturing a fuel gauge is $21.88.
The average price the fuel gauge sells for is $48.20
The company manufactures its products 252 days per year. What is the minimum number of fuel guages per
day that the company must produce in order to break even?
Focus on the difference between feasible alternatives. Insulated concrete forms (ICF) can be used as a substitute for conventional wood framing in building construction. Heating and cooling bills will be about 50% less than in a similar wood-framed building in upstate New York. An ICF home will be approximately 10% more expensive to construct than a wood-framed home. For a typical 2,000 ft2 home costing $120 per ft2 to construct in upstate New York and costing $200 per month to heat and cool, how many months does it take for a 2,000 ft2 ICF home to pay back its extraconstruction cost?
Pure gasoline has an energy density of 115,600 BTU per gallon while ethanol has an energy density of 75,670 BTU per gallon. If gasoline costs $3.50 per gallon, (a) what would the cost of pure ethanol have to be in order for the energy costs of the two fuels to break even? (b) What would the price of E85 (85% ethanol, 15% gasoline) have to be for its energy cost to be the same as that of pure gasoline?

- PROBLEM NO. 1: The cost of producing a commodity consists of P35 per unit of labor, P42 per unit of materials, and P10 per unit for other variable costs. Cost of utilities and rents amounts to P850,000 per month. If the commodity is sold at P310 each; (a) What is the profit/loss if 3369 units were sold? (b) How many pieces must be produced each month for the manufacturer to breakeven?arrow_forwardAn architect-engineering firm is planning a parking lot to accomodate 400 vehicles. Each parking space will be 8.5 feet x 15 feet. It has been estimated that the space required for aisles will be 70 percentage of the space required for parking. A local paving company charges 8$ per square foot for paving and a flat fee of $10,600 for marking and painting the individual parking spaces. Based on this information, what is the estimated cost of paving and marking this parking lot? The estimated cost of paving and marking the parking lot is: $ ?arrow_forwardAn Engineering consultant firm measures its output in a standard hour unit, which is a function of the personnel grade levels in the professional stuff. The variable cost is $62 per standard service hour. The charge-out rate (i.e., selling price) is $85.56 per hour. The maximum output of the firm is 160,000 hours per year, and its fixed cost is $2,024,000 per year. For this firm: (a) What is the breakeven point in standard service hours and in percentage of total capacity? (b) What is the percentage reduction in breakeven (sensitivity) if fixed costs are reduced 10%; if variable cost per hour is reduced 10%; and if the selling price per unit is increased by 10%.

- If the cost of gasoline is $2.50 per gallon, how far out of your way (one way) could you afford to drive (in miles) to a service station that has gasoline at $2.25 per gallon if your vehicle gets 30 miles per gallon and you will fill up with 20 gallons of fuel? Consider only the cost of gasoline in vehicle driving cost. (Hint: Since you are going out of your way, you have to drive back the same distance.)arrow_forwardA regional airline company estimated four years ago that each pound of aircraft weight adds $30 per year to its fuel expense. Now the cost of jetfuel has doubled from what it was four years ago. A recent engineering graduate employed by the company has made a recommendation to reduce fuel consumption of an aircraft by installing leather seats as part of a “cabin refurbishment program.” The total reduction in weight would be approximately 600 pounds per aircraft. If seats are replaced annually (a worst-case situation), how much can this airline afford to spend on the cabin refurbishments?What nonmonetary advantages might be associated with the refurbishments? Would you support the engineer’s recommendation?arrow_forwardEMERGENCY! Production just informed management that one of its five glycol squeezers has been destroyed by a rogue computer virus.

- Please no written by hand solutions One area of concern when it comes to Starlink is the cost. For example, at the beginning of February 2023, FiberOne, a broadband internet provider in Nigeria, was providing internet with speeds of up to 500Mbps, which is fast. The installation fee was N32,231 (about US$70) and the monthly subscription cost around N100,000 (US$220). Starlink in Nigeria, meanwhile, costs about N276,000 (US$599) once- off for the kit and installation, then charges a monthly subscription fee of about [N19,800] (US$43). Starlink is cheaper in the long term than both fibre optic and mobile internet providers. But can an average rural Nigerian household with a monthly income of less than N28,000 (US$60) afford it? Given that average incomes are similarly low in most rural and remote parts of Africa, there's a risk that Starlink's targeted users on the continent won't be able to use the service. The reason that Starlink is able to charge a lower monthly price for their…arrow_forwardSally Statistics is implementing a system of statistical process control (SPC) charts in her factory in an effort to reduce the overall cost of scrapped product. The current cost of scrap is $X per month. If a 75% learning curve is expected in the use of the SPC charts to reduce the cost of scrap, what would the percentage reduction in monthly scrap cost be after the charts have been used for 6 months?

The contractor estimates that it will cost $1.25 per cubic yard mile (yd3 –mile) to haul the asphalt-paving material from the mixing plant to the job location. Factors relating to the two mixing sites are as follows: (See pic) The job requires 50,000 cubic yards of mixed-asphalt-paving material. It is estimated that four months (17 weeks of five working days per week) will be required for the job. Compare the two sites in terms of their total costs. Assume that the cost of the return trip is negligible. A) Which is the better site? B) For the selected site, how many cubic yards of paving material does the contractor have to deliver before staring to make a profit if paid $8.35 per cubic yard delivered to the job location?arrow_forward
