Vista Company manufactures electronic equipment. It currently purchases the special switches used in each of its products from an outside supplier. The supplier charges Vista $1.45 per switch. Vista’s CEO is considering purchasing either machine A or machine B so the company can manufacture its own switches. The projected data are as follows: Machine A Machine B Annual fixed costs $ 108,900 $ 145,000 Variable cost per switch 0.46 0.20 Required: 1. For each machine, what is the minimum number of switches that Vista must make annually for total costs to equal outside purchase cost? 2. What volume level would produce the same total costs regardless of the machine purchased? 3. What is the most profitable alternative for producing 150,000 switches per year and what is the total cost of that alternative?
Waterways is thinking of mass-producing one of its special-order sprinklers. To do so would increase unit variable costs for all sprinklers by an average of $0.70. The company also estimates that this change could increase the overall number of sprinklers sold by 10%, and the average unit sales price would increase $0.20. Waterways currently sells 490.000 sprinkler units at an average unit selling price of $28.60. The manufacturing costs are $7,866,260 variable and $2.011,486 fixed. Selling and administrative costs are $2,644.240 variable and $809,370 fixed. If Waterways begins mass-producing its special-order sprinklers, how would this affect the company?
