The number of tapes that should be produced and sold that will let the company have profit is 1 unit higher than the breakeven point. Breakeven happens when the total cost and total revenue is equal. 

Total cost is equal to the sum of the fixed cost and the variable cost which is equal to,

   TC = 4000 + x

where x is the number of units. The breakeven equation is,

    4000 + x = 5x

Simplifying the equation will give us,
     4x = 4000

    x = 1000

The value of x from the equation is 1000. 

Hence, the company should manufacture more than 1000 for them to have profit.

Question

Monty Manufacturing builds playground equipment that it sells to elementary schools and municipalities.​ Monty's management has contracted you to perform a variance analysis on the fixed manufacturing overhead for its line of slides.​ Monty's cost accounting team informs you that it allocates fixed overhead based on machine hours. This period production was budgeted at  35 0 slides

. Budgeted and actual production data​ follows:

Standard fixed overhead cost per machine hour  $5.00

Standard machine hours per slide  9

Actual production  390

Actual fixed overhead cost  $20,000

What is the fixed manufacturing overhead volume variance in this​ period?

Answer:

Fixed overhead volume variance  $1800 Favorable

Explanation:

Standard fixed cost per unit = cost per hour × standard hours

                                             =  $5.00  ×9  = $45

                                                                                     Units

Budgeted  production unit                                      350

Actual       production unit                                        <u>390</u>

Volume variance in (units)                                       40

Standard fixed over cost per unit                           <u>× $45</u>

Fixed overhead volume variance                          <u>  1800 </u>Favorable

Fixed overhead volume variance  $1800 Favorable

  • Therefore, when earnings are maximized, whereby MR = MC has been used. Price is therefore above MR (Marginal Revenue).

<u>Perfectly Competitive Market: </u>

  • The  price shall be calculated whenever market forces are equivalent.
  • The firm seems to be the fixed price and therefore the individual company market price becomes horizontal.

Thus,

⇒  AR=P =MR

Hence,

⇒  P = MR

GrogVix [38]

Answer:

A) $200,000

Explanation:

In this case, Haft has a wide range of possible losses, between $200,000 to $300,000. Since no amount is more probable than others, then the company can decide to report the lowest estimate as long as all the other estimates have the same probability of happening. But if another estimate was probable, e.g. $220,000, then that estimate should be recorded even if it was higher.
