PortaCom manufactures notebook computers and related equipment. PortaCom's product design group developed a prototype for a new

high-quality portable printer. The new printer features an innovative design and has the potential to capture a significant share of the portable printer market. Preliminary marketing and financial analyses provided the following selling price, first-year administrative cost, and first-year advertising cost:
Selling Price $284 per unit
Administrative Cost $500,000
Advertising Cost $700,000
In the simulation model for the PortaCom problem, the preceding values are constants and are referred to as parameters of the model.
(a) An engineer on the product development team believes that first-year sales for the new printer will be 18,500 units. Using estimates of $50 per unit for the direct labor cost and $88 per unit for the parts cost, what is the first-year profit using the engineer's sales estimate?
(b) The financial analyst on the product development team is more conservative, indicating that parts cost may well be $101 per unit. In addition, the analyst suggests that a sales volume of 9,500 units is more realistic. Using the most likely value of $50 per unit for the direct labor cost, what is the first-year profit using the financial analyst's estimates?

Giving the following information:

Selling Price $284 per unit

Administrative Cost $500,000

Advertising Cost $700,000

(a) Units= 18,500

Direct labor= $50

Direct material= $88

Sales= 18,500*284= 5,254,000

Variable costs= (50 + 88)*18,500= (2,553,000)

Contribution margin= 2,701,000

Administrative Cost= (500,000)

Advertising Cost= (700,000)

Net operating income= 1,501,000

B)Units= 9,500

Direct labor= $51

Direct material= $101

Sales= 9,500*284= 2,698,000

Variable costs= (51 + 101)*9,500= (1,444,000)

Contribution margin= 1,254,000

Administrative Cost= (500,000)

Advertising Cost= (700,000)

stealth61 [152]

is not efficient because firms can have different costs of reducing pollution.

Explanation:

Economic efficiency is the way a business maximises the use of factors of production (land, labor, capital) to produce output at a reduced cost. Efficiency aims to improve output and reduce cost to the barest minimum.

In this instance to individual cost required to reduce sulfur dioxide emissions is not considered by the government.

Since reduction of sulfur dioxide is equal among firms, some smaller ones may incur cost that will financially impair them and put them out of business.

While bigger firms will easily bear the cost.
