Chapter 11, Problem 1QP
Calculating Costs and Break-Even [LO3] Night Shades, Inc. (NSI), manufactures biotech sunglasses. The variable materials cost is $9.64 per unit, and the variable labor cost is $8.63 per unit.
a. What is the variable cost per unit?
b. Suppose NSI incurs fixed costs of $915,000 during a year in which total production is 215,000 units. What are the total costs for the year?
c. If the selling price is $39.99 per unit, does NSI break even on a cash basis? If depreciation is $465,000 per year, what is the accounting break-even point?

Cox Electric makes electronic components and has estimated the following for a new design of one of its products:
Fixed Cost $9,000
==
Material cost per unit = $0.15
Labor cost per unit = $0.10
Revenue per unit = $0.65
Production Volume = 12,000
Per-unit material and labor cost together make up the variable cost per unit. Assuming that Cox Electric sells all that it produces, build a spreadsheet model that calculates the profit by subtracting the fixed cost and total
variable cost from total revenue, and answer the following questions.
(a) Construct a one-way data table with production volume as the column input and profit as the output. Breakeven occurs when profit goes from a negative to a positive value; that is, breakeven is when total revenue = total
cost, yielding a profit of zero. Vary production volume from 5,000 to 50,000 in increments of 5,000. In which interval of production volume does breakeven occur?

Fixed cost = 10,000 Material cost per unit = 0.15
Labor cost per unit = 0.10 Revenue per unit = 0.65
Suppose Toys R Us sells all that it produces, profit is calculated by subtracting the fixed cost and total variable cost from total revenue.
Give a mathematical model for calculating profit and implement your model from part in Excel.

If the company requires a rate of return 18% on its investments and $6,000,000 investments are needed. The total direct materials to be used in the
production is $3,000,000.
Required:
1. If the company uses absorption costing approach to cost-plus pricing, compute:
a. The unit product cost.
b. The markup percentage.
c. The selling price per unit.
2. Assume that the company is considering the introduction of other new product. If the target-selling price per unit is $5,500 and the company
investing $5,000,000 to purchase equipment needed produce 500…
