A plant operation has fixed costs of $2,000,000 per year, and its output capacity is 100,000 electrical appliances per year. The variable cost is $40 per unit, and the product sells for $90 per unit. Solve, a. Construct the economic breakeven chart. b. Compare annual profit when the plant is operating at 90% of capacity with the plant operation at 100% capacity. Assume that the first 90% of capacity output is sold at $90 per unit and that the remaining 10% of production is sold at $70 per unit.

Faldo Company produces a single product. The projected income statement for the coming year, based on sales of 200,000 units, is as follows: Required: 1. Compute the unit contribution margin and the units that must be sold to break even. Suppose that 30,000 units are sold above the break-even point. What is the profit? 2. Compute the contribution margin ratio and the break-even point in dollars. Suppose that revenues are 200,000 greater than expected. What would the total profit be? 3. Compute the margin of safety in sales revenue. 4. Compute the operating leverage. Compute the new profit level if sales are 20 percent higher than expected. 5. How many units must be sold to earn a profit equal to 10 percent of sales? 6. Assume the income tax rate is 40 percent. How many units must be sold to earn an after-tax profit of 180,000?
Schylar Pharmaceuticals, Inc., plans to sell 130,000 units of antibiotic at an average price of 22 each in the coming year. Total variable costs equal 1,086,800. Total fixed costs equal 8,000,000. (Round all ratios to four significant digits, and round all dollar amounts to the nearest dollar.) Required: 1. What is the contribution margin per unit? What is the contribution margin ratio? 2. Calculate the sales revenue needed to break even. 3. Calculate the sales revenue needed to achieve a target profit of 245,000. 4. What if the average price per unit increased to 23.50? Recalculate: a. Contribution margin per unit b. Contribution margin ratio (rounded to four decimal places) c. Sales revenue needed to break even d. Sales revenue needed to achieve a target profit of 245,000
A plant operating at 100 per cent capacity (1000 kg product per year) has an annual net profit of $40,000 with a 34 per cent tax on gross profits. If the annual fixed costs are $100,000 and variable costs are 61 per cent of net sales, what is the break-even point (in per cent capacity or kg product per year)? What is the unit profit (i.e., profit per kg product) at 100 per cent capacity?
Consider the following: A factory can produce 150,000 units of a good/year at a cost of $100/unit may produce the good for 2 years Retail price is initially $500/unit, but will either increase or decrease by $100 during year 1, and then subsequently increase or decrease by $200 during year 2. Each year, the increase or decrease is equally likely Fixed costs of running the factory are $50M per year if the factory is implemented (not including rent) Rent is $10M, whether or not the factory is set-up We will assume risk neutrality and a 10% cost of capital For simplicity, we will assume that there is no initial (year 0) cashflow associated with the factory The production technology of the factory allows for flexible starting (but not stopping). This means that in year 1, the factory may be operated or not. If the factory is operational in year 1, it will also be operational in year 2. If the factory is not operational in year 1, then it may either be operated or not in year 2. What is…
A company can generate a maximum sales of 825,000 a year. The variable cost ratio to sales is 55% and fixed costs are 128,430 a year. The desired net income for the year is 168,570. At what percentage capacity level should the company operate to realize the desired net income?
) A plant has a capacity of producing 80T units per year of a product which it sells for P20.00 per unit regardless of output. The annual FC are P280T & a variable cost of P480T at 75% capacity. a) What is the break-even point in units? b) What is the fixed cost per unit and variable cost per unit at the break-even point? c) What is the profit at this level (75%) and at 100% capacity? d) At what volume of output will the company incur a loss?
Suppose that a company expects the following financial results from a project during its first-year operation: Sales revenue: $300,000 Variable costs: $100,000 Fixed costs: $50,000 Total unit produced and sold: 10,000 units a. Draw and label a break-even point graph. b. Compute the contribution per unit. c. Compute the break-even point in units sold. d. Compute the profit be if only 7500 units are sold
A plant operation has fixed costs of ₱2,000,000 per year, and its output capacity is 100,000 electrical appliances per year. The variable cost is ₱40 per unit, and the product sells for ₱90 per unit. a. What is the plant’s breakeven point in terms of quantity per year? b.If the selling price is increased to ₱100 per unit, how many units must be sold to achieve a profit of 3M per year? c.If 80% of the output capacity per year are sold, what would be the annual profit? If 100%? d.If 100% of the output capacity per year are sold, what would be the annual profit?
(b) The cost of materials is expected to rise by 20%, while total fixed costs are expected to rise by RM13,000 per year:Calculate the number of units that must be sold for the company's net profit to be maintained. Assume that the rest of the data is unchanged. Determine a new break-even point and margin of safety in bottles if the selling price change to RM 6 per packet. Assume that all other variables remain constant. please provide calculations for each of them.
A manufacturing plant and equipment cost $150 million and are estimated to have a lifetime of 25 year . Additional fixed costs per year are $4 million. Variable costs are $1.25 and price is set at $3.25.a- State annual profit/loss when annual volume, in million units, is(a) 10, (b) 2.5.b- If variable cost is expected to increase by 20% every 5 years, what should be the expected increase in price to have same break-even point for case 10 million units produced and is there a change in profit/loss calculated for same case in part (a).
A plant has a capacity of 4,100 hydraulic pumps per month. The fixed cost is $504,000 per month. The variable cost is $166 per pump, and the sales price is $328 per pump. (Assume that sales equal output volume.) What is the breakeven point in number of pumps per month? What percentage reduction will occur in the breakeven point if fixed costs are reduced by 18% and unit variable costs by 6%?
A certain factory produces 2000 Ton per year of its product. Th price of one kilogram is 1.8$. The annual direct production cost is 2million $ when the factory works at its whole capacity. Other fixed costs are 7X10^5 b) If the selling price increases by 10% calculate the increase in the net profit at the whole capacity assuming the taxes are 48% of the gross profit.
