Engineering expenses (plant)                                                                  90,000
Engineering staff and salaries (plant)                                                   30,000
Administrative staff salaries                                                                  120,000
Sales staff, salaries and commissions                                                 100,000
Total Annual Sales: 60 units
Profit Margin: 15%


SOLUTION:

Variable costs
Raw material and components costs                                                          $2,150,000
Direct labor                                                                                                              950,000
Direct expenses                                                                                                         60,000
Engineering expenses (plant)                                                                               90,000
Engineering staff and salaries (plant)                                                                30,000
                                                                                                                                                    
Total Variable Costs                                                                                   $3,280,000 


Factory Expenses
Utilities for plant                                                                                                $70,000
Taxes and insurance                                                                                            50,000
Plant and equipment depreciation                                                               120,000
Warehouse Expenses                                                                                          60,000
                                                                                                                                                 
Total Factory Expenses                                                                             $300,000


General and Administrative Expenses (G & A)
Plant manager and staff                                                                                $180,000
Office Utilities                                                                                                        10,000
Administrative staff salaries                                                                           120,000
                                                                                                                                                 
Total G & A                                                                                                      $310,000


Manufacturing Cost = Variable costs + Factory Expenses +
                                              General and Administrative Expenses
                                          = $3,280,000 + $300,000 + $310,000
                                          = $3,890,000

Sales, staff, salaries and commissions: $100,000

Total Cost                       = Manufacturing costs + Sales, staff, salaries and commissions 
                                           = $3,990,000
Manufacturing cost for a turbine = $3,990,000


Profit Margin = Profit / Sales 
0.15 = Profit / Sales  -> equation 1
 Sales = Profit + Total Cost
 Sales = (0.15)Sales + $3 990 000  -> equation 2
Interception equation 1 & 2
Sales = $ 4 987 500.00

Sales = Selling Price
   
Total Annual Sales = 60 units
Selling Price for One Turbine    = Selling Price / 60 = $4,987,500.00 / 60

Selling Price                                           = $83,125.00 per unit

ASSIGNMENT 17.3 BREAK-EVEN POINT



QUESTION


The type of tooling to make for a manufacturing process depends on the expected total quantity of parts. Tooling made from standard components and less wear-resistant materials (soft tooling) can be made more quickly and cheaply than conventional tooling made from hardened steel (hard tooling). Use the concept of break-even point to determine the production quantity for which soft tooling can be justified. 
The following cost data applies:

                                                Soft tooling                                     Hard tooling
Tool           Tooling cost                     CS $600                                                CH $7500
Setu         Setup cost                         SS $100                                                  SH $60
Unit         Unit Part cost                  CPS $3.40                                             CPH $0.80

 ANSWER

 


The break-even point is the sales or production volume at which sales and costs balance.
CH + (QBEP/b) S+ CPH QBEP = CS + (QBEP/b)  SS+ CPS QBEP
Break-even point
QBEP = C- C/ [(S- SH}/b) + (CPS - CPH)]
         = 7500 – 600/ [((100 – 60)/500) + (3.4 – 0.8)]
         = 2574.63
         = 2575 units
