Two different manufacturing processes are being considered for making a new product. The first process is less capital-intensive

, with fixed costs of only $50,000 per year and variable costs of $700 per unit. The second process has fixed costs of $400,000 but has variable costs of only $200 per unit. a. What is the break-even quantity beyond which the second process becomes more attractive than the first

Answer:

700 units

Explanation:

fixed cost for first process ( F₁ ) = $50000

variable costs of first process ( V₁ ) = $700

fixed cost of second process ( F₂ ) = $400000

variable cost of second process ( V₁ ) = $200

break-even quantity ( y ) = ?

note : variable costs are costs that vary/change as the quantity of goods and services produced changes

A) the break-even quantity beyond which the second process can be calculated by equating the total costs of both processes

F₁ + V₁ ( y ) = F₂ + V₂( y )

50000 + 700 y = 400000 + 200 y

500 y = 400000 - 50000

therefore y = 700 ( break even quantity beyond which the second process is attractive )

Answer:

700 units

Explanation:

FC1 : Fixed Costs from process 1

VC1 : Variable cost per unit from process 1

FC2 : Fixed Costs from process 2

VC2 : Variable cost per unit from process 2

FC1 = $50,000

VC1 = $700 per unit

FC2 = $400,000

VC2 = $200 per unit

To calculate the break-even (quantity) point we must equate the TC1 (Total cost of process 1) to TC2 (Total cost of process 2)

TC1 = TC2

FC1 + VC1(y) = FC2 + VC2(y)      where y is the break-even units

50,000 + 700y = 400,000 + 200y

500y = 350,000

y = 350,000 / 500

y = 700 Units

kifflom [539]

Answer:

The correct answer is option a.

Explanation:

An interior decorator has moved his business from Los Angeles to St. Paul, Minnesota because his spouse's company transferred her to St. Paul.

The decorator is distressed because the customers in his target market have, in his words, "banal and bourgeois taste."

The customers in St. Paul have a different taste from the customers that he catered to in Los Angeles. The consumer tastes and preferences may differ from place to place according to the climatic conditions, social status, cultures, etc.

The problem with the decorator is that he does not understands that customer needs are not right or wrong, good or bad. It is not right or wrong if the customers in Minnesota have a different preference from customers in Los Angeles.

Anit [1.1K]

When my supervisor presents me with multiple situations to see if I know when to implement a certain skill, (s)he clearly does not trust me to know what I am doing. The above statement is false.

<h3>What does skill refer to?</h3>
  • A skill is a learned ability to perform an action with predictable results consistently and well within a certain window of time or energy, or both. Domain-general and domain-specific skills are two common categories of skills.
  • For instance, in the field of work, generic skills like time management, teamwork and leadership, self-motivation, and others are useful in all jobs, whereas domain-specific abilities are only applicable to a certain position.
  • To evaluate the amount of ability being displayed and applied, specific contextual triggers and scenarios are typically required.
  • When a skill represents a body of knowledge or a specific field of study, such as the art of war or the art of medicine, it is referred to as an art.
