Hyundai Motors is considering three sites-A, B, and C-at which to locate C150. The goal is to locate at a minimum-cost site, where cost is measured by the annual fixed plus variable costs of production. Hyundai Motors has gathered the following data: Site A B C Annualized Fixed Cost $11,000,000 $20,000,000 $25,000,000 Variable Cost per Auto Produced $2,600 $2,000 $1,000 The firm knows it will produce between 0 and 60,000 Sport C150s at the new plant each year, but, thus far, that is the extent of its knowledge about production plans. a) The value of volume, V, of production above which site C is recommended 8751 Sport C150s (round your response up to the next whole number). b) The value of volume, V, of production below which site A is recommended=Sport C150s (round your response up to the next whole number).

Company XYZ is conducting an engineering economic analysis to decide whether to make vs purchase position for a necessary element needed ins several products. Now the engineering department has established this information: Option A to purchase 10,000 units annually at a fixed price of $8.50 per unit. The cost of placing the order is insignificant as per the present cost accounting procedure. Option B to manufacture 10,000 units annually with a direct labor cost of $1.50 per unit, manufacturing overhead cost is allotted at 200% of direct labor (which is $3.00 per unit) ) and Direct materials cost at $5.00 per unit. Based on the information, should the unit be purchased or manufactured?
Esmail Mohebbi, owner of European Ignitions Manufacturing, needs to expand his capacity. He is con-sidering three locations—Athens, Brussels, and Lisbon—for a new plant. The company wishes to find the most economical location for an expected volume of 2,000 units per year.APPROACH c Mohebbi conducts locational cost–volume analysis. To do so, he determines that fixedcosts per year at the sites are $30,000, $60,000, and $110,000, respectively; and variable costs are $75per unit, $45 per unit, and $25 per unit, respectively. The expected selling price of each ignition systemproduced is $120.

A company is analyzing a make-versus-purchase situation for a component used in several products, and the engineering department has developed these data:Option A: Purchase 10,000 items per year at a fixed price of $8.50 per item. The cost of placing the order is negligible according to the present cost accounting procedure. Option B: Manufacture 10,000 items per year, using available capacity in the factory. Cost estimates are direct materials = $5.00 per item and direct labor = $1.50 per item. Manufacturing overhead is $3.00 per item. Based on these data, should the item be purchased or manufactured?

Peggy Lane Corp., a producer of machine tools, wants to move to a larger site. Two alternative locations have been identified: Bonham and McKinney. Bonham would have fixed costs of $800,000 per year and variable costs of $14,000 per standard unit produced. McKinney would have annual fixed costs of $940,000 and variable costs of $12,800 per standard unit. The finished items sell for $28,000 each. a) The volume of output at which both the locations have the same profit = standard units (round your response to the nearest whole number). b) Básed on the analysis of the volume, after rounding the numbers to the nearest whole number, Bonham is superior below standard units. c) Based on the analysis of the volume, after rounding the numbers to the nearest whole number, McKinney is superior above standard units. d) The break-even point for Bonham is units.
