Georgetown Pizza makes its favorite pan pizzas every day with three working shifts around the clock. The current completely cooked pizza-making process has a fixed cost of $24,000, and a variable cost of $2.75 per pizza. The owner is considering a different process that can make pizzas in two ways: completely cooked and selling at $13.98 per unit, or partially cooked with a selling price of $12.98 per unit. This alternate process has a fixed cost of $28,000, but a lower variable cost (because much less energy is used in baking) of $2.25 per pizza. a. Determine the breakeven quantity between the current pizza-making process and the alternate process.

- Spartan Castings must implement a manufacturing process that reduces the amount of particulates emitted into the atmosphere. Two processes have been identified that provide the same level of particulate reduction. The first process is expected to incur $350,000 of fixed cost and add $50 of variable cost to each casting Spartan produces. The second process has fixed costs of $150,000 and adds $90 of variable cost per casting.a. What is the break-even quantity beyond which the first process is more attractive?b. What is the difference in total cost if the quantity produced is 10,000?Josie’s Sports Accessories has 12 operators who work 9 hours a day (no breaks), 7 days a week.

- Syntech makes digital cameras for drones. Their basic digital camera uses $80 in variable costs and requires $1,400 per month in fixed costs. Syntech sells 100 cameras per month. If they process the camera further to enhance its functionality, it will require an additional $50 per unit of variable costs, plus an increase in fixed costs of $1,000 per month. The current price of the camera is $150. The marketing manager is positive that they can sell more and charge a higher price for the improved version. At what price level would the upgraded camera begin to improve operational earnings?

Teddy very much needs an additional dishwasher, and is interviewing Wayne, an excellent candidate with 5 years experience who is now washing dishes at the Roadway restaurant. Teddy normally starts his dishwashers at $12.00 per hour. Wayne states that he makes $13.00 per hour, a rate that is higher than all but one of Teddy’s current dishwashers. Wayne states that he would not leave his current job to take a “pay-cut”. Should Teddy offer to hire Wayne at a rate higher than most of his current employees? Why or why not?Motorking Corporation, a market leader in the production of specialized engine additives, is considering introducing a new "gas extender" product. This product is added to an automobile’s gasoline to extend mileage and reduce exhasut emissions. Motorking's manufacturing facility can produce 50,000 cases of the new product per year with a set-up cost of $100,000. The average variable cost per case would be $5. Large orders, (i.e., above 50,000 cases) will be subcontracted to a local refining company. Motorking has signed a secrecy agreement with the vendor that guards the basic process. The variable cost per case, if the new product is produced outside, is $9. Whether the product is manufactured by Motorking or by the vendor, there is a $12 per case cost for marketing and overhead. Motorking's production manager is considering three production levels for the new product: 50,000 cases, 75,000 cases, and 100,000 cases. The level of sales will depend on the state of the economy.

- Deja Brew, Inc., produces and sells 1,000 pallets of tea. Selling price per pallet: $700 Variable cost per pallet: $100 Annual fixed costs: $20,000 How many units would Deja Brew, Inc., need to sell to make $10,000? Round to the nearest whole pallet.Fedori Corporation has a Parts Division that does work for other Divisions in the company as well as for outside customers. The company's Machinery Division has asked the Parts Division to provide it with 4,000 special parts each year. The special parts would require P23.00 per unit in variable production costs. The Machinery Division has a bid from an outside supplier for the special parts at P37.00 per unit. In order to have time and space to produce the special part, the Parts Division would have to cut back production of another part-the YR24 that it presently is producing. The YR24 sells for P40.00 per unit, and requires P28.00 per unit in variable production costs. Packaging and shipping costs of the YR24 are P3.00 per unit. Packaging and shipping costs for the new special part would be only P1.50 per unit. The Parts Division is now producing and selling 15,000 units of the YR24 each year. Production and sales of the YR24 would drop by 20% if the new special part is produced for…A bicycle component manufacturer produces hubs for bike wheels.

Find the process that maximizes profit per day if each part is made from $4 worth of material and can be sold for $32. Both processes are fully automated, and variable overhead cost is charged at the rate of $39 per hour.

- At Fraser engineering. Erix is trying to decide whether to purchase a certain part to to have it produced internally. Internal production could use either of two processes. One would entail a variable cost per unit of $17, and an annual fixed cost of $240,000. Three vendors are willing to provide the part. Vendor A has a price of $20 per-unit for any volume up to 30,000 units Vendor B has a price of $22 per-unit for demand of 1,000 units or less, and $18 per-unit for larger quantities. Vendor C offers a price of $21 per-unit for the first 1,000 units, and $19 for each additional unit. What is the correct formula to use to compare these options? Which options would be best for: I. 10,000 units? ii. 20,000 units? iii. 100,000 units? What is the value in considering these options across three very different demand values ranging from 10,000 to 100,000 units?An 8-hour shift at maximum production yields 8,000 units at your factory. Increasing sales and marketing will necessitate more manufacturing capacity because of increasing consumer demand. There is a lot depending on your decision as the plant manager about you doing overtime or adding an additional 8-hour shift. How many more goods of demand, above the 8,000 current productions, are required to make the 2nd shift cost worth it? Answer the following questions based on the information presented: A)There should always be 100 employees working in the factory. B)You pay each of your employees an hourly wage of $20. C)There is a 150 percent increase in overtime compensation. Please answer in detail and round your answer to the next solid number.A new highway is to be constructed. Design A calls for a concrete pavement costing $80 per foot with a 20-year life; four paved ditches costing $3 per foot each; and two box culverts every mile, each costing $9,000 and having a 20-year life. Annual maintenance will cost $1,800 per mile; the culverts must be cleaned every five years at a cost of $350 each per mile. Design B calls for a bituminous pavement costing $55 per foot with a 10-year life; three sodded ditches costing $1.45 per foot each; and four pipe culverts every mile, each costing $2,100 and having a 10-year life. The replacement culverts will cost $2,350 each. Annual maintenance will cost $2,900 per mile; the culverts must be cleaned yearly at a cost of $215 each per mile; and the annual ditch maintenance will cost $1.35 per foot per ditch. Compare the two designs on the basis of equivalent worth per mile for a 20-year period. Find the most economical design on the basis of AW and PW if the MARR is 6% per…
