Prevar Corporation currently purchases components from one of its suppliers. The current purchase price is $1500 per component, with annual purchase volume of 750 units. The ops manager believes that this component could be made inhouse with some minor modifications to the current factory set up. Fixed cost for dedicating a line for this component is estimated at $50,000. Raw materials for the component is estimated at $900, overhead at $200 and it would take 10 hours of labor (at $20 per hour) to produce each component.
Microsurfacing is part of a pavement restoration and maintenance program that seals the surface of a street that has minor cracking to prevent water from penetrating into the base material. The annual cost of the equipment (truck, tank, valves, etc.) is $109,000 per year and the material cost is $2.75 per square yard. Alternatively, regular street resurfacing requires equipment that has a first cost of $225,000 with a 15-year life and no salvage value. The variable cost for regular resurfacing is $13 per square yard. At an interest rate of 8% per year, how many square yards per year must be resurfaced for the two methods to break even?
Jupiter Game Company manufactures pocket electronic games.  Last year Jupiter sold 25,000 games at $25 each.  Total costs amounted to $525,000, of which $150,000 were considered fixed costs. In an attempt to improve its product, the company is considering replacing a component part that has a cost of $2.50 with a new and better part costing $4.50 per unit in the coming year.  A new machine also would be needed to increase plant capacity.  The machine would cost $18,000 with a useful life of six years and no salvage value.  The company uses straight-line depreciation on all plant assets.  (Ignore income taxes). 1) If management holds the sales price constant and makes the suggested changes, how many units of product must be sold in the coming year to break even?
