Question

Transcribed Image Text:A.
For each of the following, perform a break-even analysis showing
a. an algebraic statement of
i. the revenue function
ii. the cost function;
b. computation of the break-even point
i. in units,
ii. in sales dollars,
iii. as a percent of capacity;
c. a detailed break-even chart.
1. Engineering estimates show that the variable cost of manufacturing a new
product will be $35 per unit. Based on market research, the selling price of the
product is to be $120 per unit and variable selling expense is expected to be $15
per unit. The fixed costs applicable to the new product are estimated to be $2800
per period and capacity is 100 units per period.
