Q-Constructions has tasked you to investigate the number of construction projects per year for which the company would need to break-even and make a profit of $500,000 per year. The average price of a building contract is $700,000 per project. The following are the fixed and variable costs of Q-Constructions in Table 2:

Table 2: Associated Costs of Q-Constructions

Use this information above to complete the requested analyses below.

  1. (5 marks) Calculate:
    1. The break-even number of projects needed by the company.
    2. The income made by the company at break-even.

Show all working out including the modelling and solution steps.

  1. (3 marks) Q-Constructions is interested in making a profit per year to ensure the company has a positive financial outlook and new ventures can be done in the future. Calculate how many projects per year need to be completed to make a profit of $500,000 per year.
  2. (6 marks) Q-Constructions workers’ have approached the building union and been informed they could be paid a higher salary and want their salaries to be determined based on a percentage of the project price. The company has reviewed their historical records on the number of projects per year and has made the decision to respect the workers’ demands and notice that the company would maintain a positive financial outlook if they set their break-even target at 4 projects per year. Determine the new salary percentage for the onsite workers’ on a project price based on the company’s average project price and associated costs in Table 2.

  1. (3 marks) Based on the new on-site workers’ cost per project from part (c), calculate the new number of projects that need to be completed to maintain a profit of $500,000 per year.
  2. (3 marks) Due to the change in the on-site workers’ salaries, what is the effect on contribution margin in relation to the variable cost? Explain the effect of this change on the break-even number in part (a).  

Hint! Your discussion should focus on the impact made by the contribution margin. You can show the calculation of the contribution margin to support your discussion, but no other calculations should be used.

  1. (4 marks) In Excel, produce a break-even graph for Q-Constructions and include it here – you will also include a copy in the infographic where requested.

There will be 3 lines on the Q-Constructions Break-Even graph: one for total revenue for Q-Constructions and two representing the original total cost and the new total cost for Q- Constructions.

On the graph, identify the general regions corresponding to profits and losses. The units along the x-axis will be the number of projects. The units along the y-axis gives the revenue in dollars.

Want a video how-to on producing a break-even graph?

We demonstrated this with a detailed explanation in the Week 3 lecture – check out the second hour of your class’ recording.

The instructions below tell you what to name each column and other important details so keep reading!

Excel Instructions:

  1. Create a column called Number of Projects and enter values from 0 to 20 in single unit increments for Q-Constructions analysis. This column plays the role of ‘x’ in break-even calculations.

  1. Create four more columns: Total Original Cost, Total New Cost, Total Revenue, Total Profit and add your initials to these column names. In each of these columns, enter appropriate formulae in EXCEL to obtain the total cost and total revenue corresponding to each value in the Number of Projects column.

  1. Highlight all the columns and go to InsertChartsScatter to obtain a graph. Label the graph appropriately (i.e. title, axis labels, legend) and ensure the chart title includes your network ID (the part of your email address before @ e.g. [email protected] has the network ID jbloggs).

1.      Several years ago, the Partners HealthCare System of Boston, MA, conducted a cost-benefit analysis of instituting electronic medical records technology into all of their primary care practices. They computed total benefits and total costs to decide whether the project should proceed at that point. They considered benefits to the different providers in their practices, which consists of 3 physicians: Physician A, Physician B, and Physician C. Each of them has a marginal benefit of computerizing their patients’ medical records. Thus, think of “Quantity” in this market as the quantity of patient records that would be computerized by the physicians, which will depend on the price. Suppose the marginal benefit of digitizing patient records is given by:

MB=25-2Q for Physician A,

MB=20-3Q for Physician B,

MB=15-4Q for Physician C.

Please use this information to derive the “market” wide demand curve for medical record digitization for Partners Healthcare.

(Recall, MB=P in the Demand Curve, and you can re-write the Demand curve as Q=a function of P to help you with this step.)

Once you have derived the relevant market demand curve, please calculate the total benefit of providing digitization of medical records. (Hint—to know what total market Q would be, you can set P=0 and see what total quantity the market would want. Then, use that as the base of the triangle for which you would calculate the area; this would be the area under the market demand curve).

Next please calculate the total cost of this project. We’ll assume here that there are two vendors in the market, so we will need to add their supply curves to come up with the market supply curve. One vendor has MC=0.25Q and the other has MC=0.75Q. Please add up the supply curves to show the market supply curve. (hint—remember we first have to write Q=function of P (which is MC) to be able to add the supply curves, just as we did with the demand curves). Once you have done that, please add up the area under the market supply curve to show the total cost of this proposal. Please use the typical decision rule (adopt project if total benefit>total cost) to state whether the project will be adopted by the health care system.

Kansas Supplies is a manufacturer of plastic parts that uses the weighted-average process costing method to account for costs of production. It produces parts in three separate departments: Molding, Assembling, and Packaging. The following information was obtained for the Assembling Department for the month of April.

Work in process on April 1 had 120,000 units made up of the following.

Amount Degree of Completion
Prior department costs transferred in from the Molding Department $ 178,800 100 %
Costs added by the Assembling Department
Direct materials $ 100,800 100 %
Direct labor 53,920 70 %
Manufacturing overhead 32,520 50 %
$ 187,240
Work in process, April 1 $ 366,040

During April, 520,000 units were transferred in from the Molding Department at a cost of $774,800. The Assembling Department added the following costs.

Direct materials $ 418,320
Direct labor 256,000
Manufacturing overhead 161,880
Total costs added $ 836,200

Assembling finished 420,000 units and transferred them to the Packaging Department.

At April 30, 220,000 units were still in work-in-process inventory. The degree of completion of work-in-process inventory at April 30 was as follows.

Direct materials 90 %
Direct labor 80
Manufacturing overhead 30

Required:

a. Prepare a production cost report using the weighted-average method.
