volume up to 30,000 units
Offers a price of $22 per unit for 1,000
units or less, and $18 per unit for
large quantities
Offers a price of $21 per unit for the
first 1,000 units and $19 per unit for

QUESTION #1
Mrs. Johnson, the owner of a small manufacturing business has patented a new device for
kitchen appliance. Before trying to commercialize the device and add it to her existing product
line, the she wants reasonable assurance of success. Variable costs are estimated at $8 per unit
produced and sold. Fixed costs are about $60,000 per year.
a. Forecasted sales for the first year are 15,000 units if the price is reduced to $20. With this
pricing strategy, what would be the product's total contribution to profits in the first year?
b. If the selling price is set at $30, how many units must be produced and sold to break even?

After taking into consideration the cost of bulls (using 4%), the operational costs, and the salvage value, the producer estimates that the cost of bulls per year is $3,170. On the other hand, the producer estimates that if using Al, the cost for frozen semen is $1,671/year and the cost to synchronize cows (using lutalyse) is $286/year. Based upon this information, estimate the maximum amount (i.e. $/hour) that the producer can pay for Al labor (before Al becomes more expensive than natural mating). Assume that for the 100 cows, 98 hours of labor are required for Al. Also assume that the producer already has proper facilities and Al tanks. Enter your answer in the "answer" box below. Do not enter units, just enter dollars and cents (round to the nearest hundreth). For instance, if your answer is ten dollars and twenty-five cents per hour, just enter…arrow_forward
