Answer:
- a. <em>Break-even quantity:</em> <u>28,000 pens</u>
- b<em>. Price</em>: <u>$1.51 per pen</u>
Explanation:
1. Break-even quantity
<u>a) Revenue, R(x)</u>
The monthly revenue is the product of the price by the number of units sold in the month.
Naming x the number of pens sold in the month:
<u>b) Cost, C(x)</u>
<u />
The monthly cost is the sum of the fixed cost per month plus the variable costs:
- C(x) = $21,000 + 0.25 × x = 21,000 + 0.25x
<u>c) Break-even</u>
Break-even is the point when the revenue and the total costs are equal, this is, when the profit is zero. Write the equation and solve:
Hence, the break-even quantity is 28,000 pens.
2. Price pens must be sold to obtain a monthly profit of $18,000
Profit = Revenue - Total cost
- P(x) = x.p - [ 0.25x + 21,000]
Where p is the price.
- P(x) = x.p - 0.25x - 21,000
Substitute the quantity demanded, x, with 31,000, and the profit, P(x) with 18,000:
- 18,000 = 31,000p - 0.25(31,000) - 21,000
Solve for p and compute:
- 31,000p = 18,000 + 7,750 + 21,000
That is $1.51 per pen.
Answer:
30,000 units
Explanation:
we can use the economic order quantity formula:
EOQ = √(2SD/H)
where:
- S = order cost (per purchase order) ≈ production run cost = $900
- D = demand in units (annual basis) ≈ production requirement = 1,500,000 units
- H = holding costs (per unit, per year) = $3 per item, per year
EOQ = √[(2 x $900 x 1,500,000) / $3] = 30,000 units
Answer:
Purchases= 696,000 pounds
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Production= 222,000 units.
To make one unit of a finished product, three pounds of direct material Z are required.
<u>To calculate the purchases of direct material, we need to use the following formula:</u>
Purchases= production + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory
Purchases= 222,000*3 + 420,000 - 390,000
Purchases= 696,000 pounds
Answer:
1. I feel like Pat's new strategy isn't ethical. Pat doesn't pay for the suits; he just buys them and then returns them. Pat benefits, but the store he gets the suits from doesn't. In fact, they are harmed from this transaction because they are unable to have the suit for others to buy while Pat has it. There could be consequences with this strategy. For example, the suit might be damaged, and Pat won't be able to return it. Another problem is that others might find out about Pat's strategy, and they might view them as unprofessional. This is a problem for Pat since the reason Pat wore those suits was to look professional.
2. The stores are harmed from this transaction. They are unable to sell the suits to other buyers. The stores lose potential customers, so the stores lose potential money.
3. The companies should record that Pat had bought the suit only to return it the next day, so that they can act accordingly when Pat or someone else comes back to "buy" a suit.
