A company is evaluating which of two alternatives should be used to produce a product that will sell for $35 per unit. The follo

wing cost information describes the two alternatives.
Process A Process B
Fixed Cost $500,000 $750,000
Variable Cost per Unit $25 $23

Requirement:;
i) Calculate the breakeven volume for Process A. (show calculation to receive credit)

ii) Calculate the breakeven volume for Process B. (show calculation to receive credit)

III) Directions: Show calculation below and Circle the letter of the correct answer.
If total demand (volume) is 120,000 units, then the company should
select Process A with a profit of $940,000 to maximize profit
select Process B with a profit of $450,000 to maximize profit
select Process A with a profit of $700,000 to maximize profit
select Process B with a profit of $690,000 to maximize profit

Answer:

A.50,000 units

B.62,500 units

C.Process A with a profit of $700,000 to maximize profit

Step-by-step explanation:

A.Calculation for the breakeven volume for Process A

Using this formula

Breakeven volume for Process A= Fixed cost/(Sales per units-Variable cost per units)

Let plug in the formula

Breakeven volume for Process A=500,000/(35-25)

Breakeven volume for Process A=500,000/10

Breakeven volume for Process A=50,000 units

B.Calculation for the breakeven volume for Process B

Using this formula

Breakeven volume for Process B= Fixed cost/(Sales per units-Variable cost per units)

Let plug in the formula

Breakeven volume for Process B=750,000/(35-23)

Breakeven volume for Process B=750,000/12

Breakeven volume for Process B=62,500 units

C. Calculation for what the company should do if the total demand (volume) is 120,000 units

Using this formula

Profit=(Total demand*(Sales per units-Variable cost per units for Process A)- Process A fixed cost

Let plug in the formula

Profit =120,000*($35-$25)-$500,000

Profit=120,000*10-$500,000

Profit=1,200,000-$500,000

Profit= $700,000

Therefore If total demand (volume) is 120,000 units, then the company should select Process A with a profit of $700,000 to maximize profit.

\text{According to the factor theorem, if f(b) = 0, then x-b is a factor of f(x).}\\\\\text{Given that,}\\\\f(x) = 2x^3 +5x^2 +4x +1 \\\\f\left(-\dfrac 12 \right) = 2\left( - \dfrac 12 \right)^3 +5 \left( - \dfrac 12 \right)^2 +4 \left( - \dfrac 12 \right) +1 \\\\\\~~~~~~~~~~~~=-2 \cdot \dfrac 18 + 5 \cdot \dfrac 14 -2 +1 \\\\\\~~~~~~~~~~~=\dfrac 54 -\dfrac14 -1\\\\\\~~~~~~~~~~~=\dfrac 44 -1 \\\\\\~~~~~~~~~~~=1-1\\\\\\~~~~~~~~~~~=0\\\\\text{So,}~ 2x +1 ~ \text{is a factor of f(x).}

\text{Now,}\\\\f(x) = 2x^3 +5x^2 +4x +1 \\\\~~~~~~=2x^3+x^2 +2x^2 +2x +2x+1\\\\~~~~~~=x^2(2x+1)  +2x(2x+1) +  (2x+1)\\\\~~~~~~=(2x+1)(x^2 +2x +1)\\\\~~~~~~=(2x+1)(x+1)^2

Help me with this math for 50 points
Lady_Fox [76]

The hot tub takes in 1,520 watts everyday to keep its water warm. A kilowatt has 1,000 watts (hence kilo means 1,000). 1,520 divided by 1,000 equals 1.520. However, this isn't free electricity - Each kilowatt costs 8 cents or 0.08 of a dollar. 1.520 x 0.08 = 12.160 or $12.16. We aren't done yet! This hot tub runs for 4 months (and we are assuming these months exactly have 30 days each). 4 x 30 = 120. $12.16 x 120 = $1,459.20. In order to keep the hot tub running, you need to pay 1,459.20 for all the kilowatts of electricity it takes.
