Calculate the company's break-even point in composite units and sales dollars. (Hint: You will need to calculate the selling price of a composite unit and CM of a composite unit to calculate the break-even point in composite units. (2 points)

(b) Calculate the number of units of each individual product to be sold at the break-even point. (Check: At break-even point you should have 2,250 units of product X.

Solutions

Expert Solution

Calculation of company's break even point:
Contribution margin of a composite unit= (40*0.30*3/8)+(30*0.35*4/8)+(40*0.35*1/8)
                                                                                 =4.5+5.25+1.75=$11.5
Selling price of a composite unit= (40*3/8)+(30*4/8)+(40*1/8)=15+15+5=$35
Break even point (in units)=Fixed cost/contribution margin
                                                       =69000/11.5= 6000 units
Break even point in units=6000 units
Break even point in sales dollar= 6000*35=$210000
Break even point in sales dollar=$210000
(b) Calculation of number of unit of each product to break even:
Units of X= 6000*3/8=2250 units
Units of Y= 6000*4/8= 3000 units
Units of Z= 6000*1/8= 750 units

Three materials X, Y, and Z are required to produce two products A and B. The profit function of each product is nonlinear. The total profit function for Product A is 80A - A2 and the total profit function for Product B is 72B - 0.8B2. Thus, the total profit for producing A and B together is 80A - A2 + 72B - 0.8B2. (These two profit functions are independent.) a. Use the Nonlinear Solver (GRG Nonlinear) to solve the...
