Question

.1.You studied the printing costs at your firm. The annual fixed cost of printing is $750,000 and the per-page cost was 2 cents. You have a proposal from a company that would lease the printers to the you for only $400,000 and charge 9 cents per page. What is the breakeven point in pages?

2. A manufacturer would like to reduce its inventory. You are asked to assess its inventory level. You have the following information on average inventories from last year's financial statement:

  Raw materials      $1,600,000

  Work-in-process $1,100,000

  Finished goods $900,000

The cost of goods sold last year (50 weeks) was $20 million.

  a. What is its total inventory (measured as weeks of supply)?

     b. What is its inventory turnover?

Explanation / Answer

Dear Student, only one question is allowed at a time.

1)

Breakeven point in above case is the indifference point.

= Difference in fixed costs / Difference in variable cost per page

= ($750,000 - $400,000) / ($0.09 - $0.02)

= 5 million pages.
