An engineer analyzing cost data about hydrogen sulfide monitors discovered that the information for the first three years was missing. However, he knew the cost in year 4 was $1250 and that it increased by 5% each year thereafter. If the same trend applied to the first three years, the cost in year 1 was:a. $1312.50b. $1190.48c. $1028.38d. $1079.80
1. The manufacturer produces certain items at
a labor cost per unit of P315, material cost per
unit of P100, variable cost of P3.00 each. If the
item has a selling price of P995, how many
units must be manufactured each month for
the manufacturer to break even if the monthly
overhead is P461,600.
