Answer:

B) fixed costs and a decrease in variable costs.

Explanation:

Automated robots used in factories are extremely expensive, but once they are functioning, they can replace a lot of workers and they are very cheap to keep working. Factories that once had thousands of employees now only employ a handful of maintenance and programmers that keep the robots running. even though the robots cost millions of dollars, they operating costs are extremely low, which means they are extremely efficient.

The factory's fixed costs increase due to the high cost of the robots, but the monthly variable costs (specially labor) plummet.

The concept of privatization is often related to tools to improve competition, which help companies to improve their cost structure, allowing products to be of higher quality and at lower prices, favoring the consumer.

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 (2,240,000)

operating profit 1,656,000
