Hyundai Motors is considering three sites-A, B, and C-at which to locate a factory to build its new-model automobile, the Hyundai Sport 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 $1,000 The firm knows it will produce between 0 and 60,000 Sport C150s at the new plant each year, but, thus far, that is the extent of its knowledge about production plans. a) The value of volume, V, of production above which site C is recommended= 8751 Sport C150s (round your response up to the next whole number). b) The value of volume, V, of production below which site A is recommended=Sport C150s (round your response up to the next whole number).
A manufacturing company preparing to build a new plant is considering three potential locations for it. The fixed and variable costs for the three alternative locations are presented below. Which area is the cheapest at 125,000 units? Costs A B C Fixed ($) 2,500,000 2,000,000 3,500,000 Variable ($ per unit) 21 25 15
An industrial firm uses economic analysis to determine which of two different machines to purchase. Each machine is capable. Each machine is capable of performing the same task in a given amount of time. Assume the MARR=8%. Use the following data for analysis:What is the approximate equivalent uniform annual cost of Machine X?
Two manufacturing processes are being considered for making a new product. Process #1 is less capital intensive, with fixed costs of $50,000 per year and variable costs of $700 per unit. Process #2 has fixed costs of annually, with variable costs of $200 per unit. What is the break-even quantity for the two processes? If annual sales are expected to be 600 units, which process should be selected? If lowest overall costs per year is your overall objective, for what range of annual production quantities should you select Process #1? Process#2? Operations and Engineering have found a way to reduce the cost of process #2, such that the fixed costs for this process decrease from $400,000 to $300,000 annually. All other costs remain the same (process #1 fixed = $50,000/year process #1 variable = $700/unit, Process #2 variable = $200/unit). What was the new break even quantity between the two processes? Does this change the process selection for the annual sales volume of 600 units? If so,…
A firm is trying to decide between two location alternatives, Albany and Baltimore. Albany would result in annual fixed costs of $60,000, labor costs of $7 per unit, material costs of $10 per unit, transportation costs of $15 per unit, and revenue per unit of $50. Baltimore would have annual fixed costs of $80,000, labor costs of $6 per unit, material costs of $9 per unit, transportation costs of $14 per unit, and revenue per unit of $48. (A) At an annual volume of 9,000, which would yield the higher profit? (B) At what annual volume would management be indifferent between the two alternatives in terms of annual profits?

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?
APPLY THE CONCEPTS: Effect of Changes to Sales Price, Variable Costs and Fixed Costs Now consider each of the following scenarios for Gordon Products. Calculate the contribution margin (CM) per unit, rounded to nearest dollar, and the new break-even point in units, rounded to the nearest whole unit, for each scenario separately. Scenario 1 Scenario 2 Scenario 3 Gordon will dispose of a machine in the factory. The depreciation on that equipment is $500 per month. After some extensive market research, Gordon has determined that a sales price increase of $2 per unit will not affect the sales volume and will be effective immediately. Gordon has been experiencing quality problems with a materials supplier. Changing suppliers will improve the quality of the product but will cause direct materials costs to increase by $1 per unit.

A business encountered the following problem while choosing between alternative locations X and Y. The total fixed costs of X and Y places are 100,000 TL and 200,000 TL, respectively. The unit variable costs are 5 and 7 TL for X and Y location, respectively. The selling price at X site is 10 TL. What should be the selling price of the product in place Y if it is desired that the transition to profitability is in question at the same production amount in both places?
