Select the graph that matches the numbered manufacturing cost data. Indicate by letter which graph best fits the situation or item described. W (Click to view the graphs.) The vertical axes of the graphs represent total cost, and the horizontal axes represent units produced during a calendar year. In each case, the zero point of dollars and production is at the intersection of the two axes. The graphs m more than once. 1. Annual depreciation of equipment, where the amount of depreciation charged is computed by the - X Graph/chart machine-hours method. 2. Electricity bill - a flat fixed charge, plus a variable cost after a certain number of kilowatt-hours are used, in which the quantity of kilowatt-hours used varies proportionately with quantity of units produced. 3. City water bill, which is computed as follows: First 1,000,000 gallons or less $1,000 flat fee Next 10,000 gallons $0.003 per gallon used Next 10,000 gallons $0.006 per gallon used Next 10,000 gallons $0.009 per gallon used and so on and so on H The gallons of water used vary proportionately with the quantity of production output. 4. Cost of direct materials, where direct material cost per unit decreases with each pound of material used (for

Ethan Manufacturing Incorporated produces floor mats for automobiles. The owner, Joseph Ethan, has asked you to assist in estimating maintenance costs. Together, you and Joseph determine that the single best cost driver for maintenance costs is machine hours.

As a potential owner of a club known as Club Salida, you are interested in determining the necessary volume of sales in dollars to reach the breakeven next year. You decided to break down the club's sales into. four categories, where beer is the first. Your estimate of the sale of beer is that it will serve 30,000 servings. The selling price per unit will average $ 1.50; its cost is $ .75. The second category is food, of which you expect sell 10,000 units with an average unit price of $ 10.00 and a cost of $ 5.00. The third category is desserts and wine, of which you also hope to sell 10,000 units, but with an average unit price of $ 2.50 and a cost of $ 1.00. The last category is inexpensive lunches and sandwiches, of which you expect sell a total of 20,000 units with an average price of $ 6.75 and a cost per unit of $ 3.25. Your fixed costs (i.e. rent, utilities, etc.) are $ 1,800 a month plus $ 2,000 a month for entertainment. a) What is your breakeven point in dollars per month? b)…

Suppose that an organization is engaged in manufacturing and sales of a seasonal product. Based on a sales forecast of 1000, 500, 500, and 2000 per quarter, calculate a level production plan, quarterly ending inventory, and average quarterly inventory. If inventory carrying costs are $7 per unit per quarter, what is the annual cost of carrying inventory? Assume that the opening and ending inventories are zero. (without using Excel)

Flora Co sells bunches of fresh flowers which have a limited shelf life so forecasting sales demand is extremely important for maximising profits. Quarter 1 Quarter 1 contains a national holiday and as a result sales of a particular red flower are usually very high. Sales of the red flower will depend on market conditions. After the national holiday there will be no demand for the red flowers and they will be thrown away. Flora Co must decide whether to purchase 250 bunches, 400 bunches or 500 bunches of the red flowers from its supplier for re-sale to its customers. The following payoff table has been produced: Market conditions Poor Good Excellent Expected value Probability 0.20 0.25 0.55 Number of bunches to be bought from supplier 400 $900 $3,900 $3,900 250 $2,400 $2,400 $2,400 $2,400 $3,300 500 ($100) $2,900 $4,900 $3,400

A shop is planning an order for a popular Christmas festive season product. Demand for the product usually starts from first week of December till first week of January and reduces sharply thereafter. For this reason, and to stimulate sales for leftovers, the product is sold at a significantly reduced price from the second week of January to the fourth week of January. Any leftover after the fourth week of January goes waste. The table below gives past data on total demand for the period from first week of December to first week of January, and from second week of January to fourth week of January, together with their respective chances of occurrence. The product can be purchased at a wholesale price of GHS60 per unit for a pack containing 600 products, GHS57 per unit for a pack containing 800 products, and GHS52 per unit for a pack containing 1000 products. The shop plans to sell the product for GHS80 per unit from first week of December to first week of January, and at a reduced…
