Mr. Beridon received your requests for information and returned data which you have compiled in an Microsoft® Excel® spreadsheet (see document template). He also said, "We grow sod and trees at Jeemp Farms. We sell the sod mainly to home builders in the area, although we sell to some individuals who are purchasing square footages to re-sod their yard. Many home builders will purchase to sod an entire subdivision. They then may come back to us to purchase trees for the yards. It really is a package deal. For builders like that, we are a one-stop-shop. In most cases, however, we sell the trees to orchards and some individuals. The purchaser is responsible for all shipping costs related to their product."

    "Our production process is different for each product. For sod, we plant the seed, irrigate, cut, and roll the sod and then transport it. For the trees, we plant the root stock, graft the tree, water until a particular maturity and then dig it up and sell it. We inspect the plants as needed to make sure we are producing a quality product that is disease-free."

    "We have delayed purchasing some machinery that reduces time for the planting of the trees because it is a large up-front cost and we don't want to have a huge outlay of cash if our profits keep going down."

    "The grass does not require as much irrigation as the trees, as it is at a lower elevation than the tree acres and is closer to the creek; it gets a lot of the run off."

    "Historically, we have always been able to sell everything we produce. Hopefully, that will continue since Houston is expanding rapidly."

ABC’s production line of the Widget gadget has a fixed cost of $200,000 and the variable cost is $5 per unit.

a) If the company sells the first 9,000 units at a price of $20 and then sells all additional units at $17 per unit, what is the break-even point?        

b) Suppose that the company is considering outsourcing this to DEF company. If so, it will save the fixed and variable costs per unit. If the cost of outsourcing is $12 per unit, over what range would each of the production options (in-house and outsourcing) be preferred? Assume that the price per unit will remain the same whether it produces the product internally or outsources it.

c) Johndoe Company is interested in buying the Widget gadget from ABC. Johndoe Company is open to letting ABC manufacture them in-house or outsource them under certain conditions. Johndoe will only buy the outsourced if ABC reduces the selling price to $18 per unit. Also, if ABC does outsource this, Johndoe will only buy 8,000 units. On the other hand, if ABC produces the product internally, Johndoe will be willing to pay $20 per unit for all the products and Johndoe will buy 12,000 widgits. Economically, which option (produce internally or outsource) is better for ABC?

Larry London (LL) buys a computer with his new store credit card at Greatest Get (GG). GG immediately sells the right to receive monthly payments from LL to a finance company, Friendly Finance (FF). Unfortunately for LL, the computer stops working three months after he purchased it. As GG won’t return his calls regarding his broken PC, LL stops making payments. Long story short, all stakeholders (LL, GG, and FF) are fed up with each other’s behavior; they all lawyer up.

If your last name begins with A-H, you are LL’s lawyer. If your last name begins with I-P, you are GG’s lawyer. If your last name begins with Q-Z, you are FF’s lawyer.
