4) A company produces a chemical at a rate of 1000 tons/year with a planned sale price of 0.8 TL / kg. The fixed cost is 60000 TL/year and direct production is 5.5 x 106 TL/year at full capacity. Determine the direct product cost per unit product (TL /kg). Find the breakeven capacity of the company for this product. Draw breakeven chart according to determined results in (ii). Calculate the new breakeven point if the price of the product decreased to 0.5 TL/kg.
Two automatic systems for dispensing maps are being compared by the state highway department. The accompanying breakeven chart of the comparison of these systems (System I vs. System II) shows total yearly costs for the number of maps dispensed per year for both alternatives. Answer the following questions. (a) What is the fixed cost for System I? (b) What is the fixed cost for System II? (c) What is the variable cost per map dispensed for System I? (d) What is the variable cost per map dispensed for System II? (e) What is the breakeven point in terms of maps dispensed at which the two systems have equal annual costs? (f) For what range of annual number of maps dispensed is System I recommended? (g) For what range of annual number of maps dispensed is System II recommended? (h) At 3000 maps per year, what are the marginal and average map costs for each system?
Heinrich is a manufacturing engineer with the Miller Company. He has determined the costs of producing a new product to be as follows: Equipment cost: $288,000/year Equipment salvage value at EOY5 = $41,000 Variable cost per unit of production: $14.55 Overhead cost per year: $48,300 If the Miller Company uses a 5-year planning horizon and the product can be sold for a unit price of $39.75, how many units must be produced and sold each year to break even?
