1. Cowboy Metal Cutting produces a laser-cut part based on customer orders. The
number of units requested on a customer's order for the laser-cut part can vary
from 1 to 150. Cowboy has determined that three different cutting machines can
be used to produce this part. An economic analysis of production costs has
produced the data in the table below:
Cutting Tool ID
Fixed Cost Per Order
Variable Cost Per Unit
CT1
$300
$9.00
СТ
$750
$3.00
CT3
$500
$5.00
a. Plot the total production cost of each tool against the number of units
produced. For all order sizes between 1 and 150, determined the most
economical cutting machine for an order of that size.
b. For an order size 75, what is the minimum selling price of each unit if the
company desires a profit of 15%?
