In order to break even, they would need to sell at least 5,000 units
Break even point is calculated by the formula:
Fixed costs÷(selling price -variable costs per unit)
i.e.
100,000 ÷ (60-40) = 5,000
Anything they sell above this number will start to produce profits for the company
Answer:
oh I didn't even know it was lol but thanks for them
Answer:
this is a cost minimization problem, but it is missing some numbers, so I looked for similar questions (see attached PDF):
minimization equation = 20x₁ + 22x₂ + 18x₃ (costs per ton)
where:
x₁ = mine I
x₂ = mine II
x₃ = mine III
the constraints are:
4x₁ + 6x₂ + x₃ ≥ 54 (high grade ore)
4x₁ + 4x₂ + 6x₃ ≥ 65 (low grade ore)
x₁, x₂, x₃ ≤ 7 (only 7 days per week)
using solver, the optimal solution is
2x₁, 7x₂, and 5x₃
a. The number of days Mine I should operate = <u>2 days
</u>
b. The number of days Mine Il should operate = <u>7 days
</u>
c. The number of days Mine III should operate = <u>5 days
</u>
d. The total cost of the operation for next week = <u>$284,000</u>
