Ma Bryan sells homemade preserves. The profitrelation for the following estimates at a quantitythat is 10% above breakeven is closest to:Fixed cost = $500,000 per yearCost per 100 units = $200Revenue per 100 units = $25 (a) Profit = 200(11,000) − 250(11,000) − 500,000 (b) Profit = 250(11,000) − 500,000 − 200(11,000) (c) Profit = 250(11,000) − 200(11,000) + 500,000 (d) Profit = 250(10,000) − 200(10,000) − 500,000

Q1 Gamma Associates has the following details:Fixed cost = Rs. 20,00,000Variable cost per unit = Rs. 100Selling price per unit = Rs. 200Find(a) The break-even sales.
In the design of a jet engine part, the designer has a choice of specifying either an aluminum
alloy casting or steel casting. Either material will provide equal service, but the aluminum casting
will weigh 1.2 kg compared with 1.35 kg for the steel casting.
The aluminum can be cast for $ 80.00 per kg and the steel one for $35.00 per kg. The cost of
machining per unit is $ 150.00 for aluminum and $ 170.00 for steel. Every kilogram of excess
weight is associated with a penalty of $ 1,300 due to increased fuel consumption. Which material
should be specified and what is the economic advantage of the selection per unit?
