marta [7]

Answer:

BEP units:          42,017

BEP dollars: 2,100,850

unit cost at 100,000 units produced: 22.40 dollars

operating profit :    1,656,000

Explanation:

Sales \: Revenue - Variable \: Cost = Contribution \: Margin

50 - 2.4 = 47.6 contirbution margin per unit

\frac{Fixed\:Cost}{Contribution \:Margin} = Break\: Even\: Point_{units}

2,000,000/47.6 = 42.016,80 BEP units

BEP units x sales price = BEP dollars

42,017 x 50 = 2,100,850

(B)

fixed cosy/ units produced = fixed cost per unit

2,000,000/ 100,000 = 20 fixed cost per unit

fixed cost + variable cost = total cost

20 + 2.40 = 22.4

(C)

There are 40% units sold at the preferred customer at cost

So we sale at gain only 60% of the units:

100,000 units x 60% x 50       =  3,000,000

100,000 units x 40% x 22.40  =     896,000

Total revenue                              3,896,000

Cost: 100,000 x 22.40          <u>     (2,240,000)  </u>

operating profit                            1,656,000

harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

Order size = 23 cars

The number of orders = 23

Explanation:

The economic order quantity (EOQ) is the order size that reduces the balance of holding and ordering cost. It is to be noted that at EOQ, the carrying cost is equal to the holding cost.

The EOQ is computed as shown below;

= √ 2 × Co × D)/Ch

Co = Ordering cost

D = Annual demand

Ch = Carrying cost

EOQ = √ 2 × 500 × 529 / 1,000

EOQ = 23

Number of cars to be ordered per time, I.e optimal order size = 23

Order size = 23 cars

2. The number of times orders should be placed per year would be calculated as;

Number of orders = Annual demand / Order size

Number of orders = 529 / 23

Number of orders = 23
