Explanation:
The above question is based on a non-linear programming model, to answer this question, there will be a need to determine the optimal order quantities of the three different Ferns with diverse values of annual demand, item cost as well as order cost objective of the non-linear programming model is to minimize the overall annual cost.
Step 1: Setup a spreadsheet on Excel, as shown in the first and second attached images below:
Note: The values of quantities of the three items is kept as 1 to for the calculations of total cost.
The Solver dialogue box will appear. Enter the decision variables, objective function and the constraints, as shown in the third attached image below:
Answer:
Proposal A: 5,455 units
Proposal B: 5,770 units
Explanation:
The break-even point is the number of units required for the revenue to equal the total costs.
For proposal A:
Fixed Costs = $60,000
Variable Costs = $13 / unit
Selling Price = $24 / unit
For proposal B:
Fixed Costs = $75,000
Variable Costs = $11 / unit
Selling Price = $24 / unit
Rounding up to the next whole unit, the break-even points for proposal A and B, respectively, are 5,455 and 5,770 units.
