International competition has become severe enough that some financial changes must be made to keep market share at the current level. (a) Plot a graphical analysis to estimate the effect on the breakeven point if the difference between revenue and variable cost per unit increases somewhere between 1% and 15% of its current value. (b) If fixed costs and revenue per unit remain at their current values, what type of change must take place to make the breakeven point go down? 2.2 Expand the analysis performed in Case Study 2.1 by changing the variable cost per unit. The financial manager estimates that fixed costs will fall to $750,000 when the required production rate to break even is at or below 600,000 units. What happens to the breakeven points over the (r - v) range of 1% to 15% increase as evaluated…arrow_forwardRequired information Problem 05-20 Excel Exercise Parts 1 and 2 According to The Wall Street Journal, Mitsubishi Motors recently announced a major restructuring plan in an attempt to reverse declining global sales. Suppose that as part of the restructuring plan Mitsubishi conducts an analysis of how labor and capital are used in its production process. Prior to restructuring Mitsubishi's marginal rate of technical substitution is 0.12 (in absolute value). To hire workers, suppose that Mitsubishi must pay the competitive hourly wage of ¥1,800. In the study of its production process and markets where capital is procured, suppose that Mitsubishi determines that its marginal productivity of capital is 0.8 small cars per hour at its new targeted level of output and that capital is procured in a highly competitive market. The same study indicates that the average selling price of Mitsubishi's smallest car is 1,200,000. Problem 05-20 - Excel Exercise Part 2 of 2 Assume that the information…arrow_forward
- Structuring a Special-Order Problem The Millenium Company has been approached by a new customer with an offer to purchase 10,000 units of its model F80 at a price of $4.10 each. The new customer is geographically separated from the company's other customers, and existing sales would not be affected. Millenium normally produces 75,000 units of F80 per year but only plans to produce and sell 60,000 in the coming year. The normal sales price is $12 per unit. Unit cost information for the normal level of activity is as follows: Direct materials $1.75 Direct labor 2.50 Variable overhead 1.50 Fixed overhead 3.25 Total $9.00 Fixed overhead will not be affected by whether or not the special order is accepted.

Suppose that Kamber is considering building a new plant inside a foreign trade zone to replace its chemical manufacturing plant. Required: 1. How much duty will be paid per year by the factory located inside the foreign trade zone? 2. How much in duty and duty-related carrying costs will be saved by relocating inside the foreign trade zone? Kamber, Inc., owns a factory located close to, but not inside, a foreign trade zone. The plant imports volatile chemicals that are used in the manufacture of chemical reagents for laboratories. Each year, Kamber imports about 14,200,000 of chemicals subject to a 30% tariff when shipped into the United States. About 15% of the imported chemicals are lost through evaporation during the manufacturing process. In addition, Kamber has a carrying cost of 10% per year associated with the duty payment. On average, the chemicals are held in inventory for 9 months. Required: 1. How much duty is paid annually by Kamber? 2. What is the carrying cost associated with the payment of duty?arrow_forwardProblem 6-28 (Static) Companywide and Segment Break-Even Analysis [LO6-5] Piedmont Fasteners Corporation makes three different clothing fasteners in its manufacturing facility in North Carolina.
