Because of its excellent product and excellent loca-tion, demand has increased by 25% in the last year. On far toomany occasions, customers have not been able to purchasethe bread of their choice. Because of the size of the store, nonew ovens can be added. At a staff meeting, one employeesuggested ways to load the ovens differently so that moreloaves of bread can be baked at one time. This new processwill require that the ovens be loaded by hand, requiring addi-tional manpower. This is the only thing to be changed. If thebakery makes 1,500 loaves per month with a labor produc-tivity of 2.344 loaves per labor-hour, how many workers willLackey need to add? (Hint: Each worker works 160 hours permonth.)
- Mikey W. Smitty is confident that demand for his “WesternRap” CD will substantially exceed the break-even point computed in Problem 6-3. So, Mikey is contemplating hav-ing his CD cut at a classier (and pricier) studio. The cost to record the CD would rise to $9000. However, since thisnew studio works with very high volume, production costswould fall to $2 per CD.a. What is the breakeven point for this new process?b.
