Break-even Example 1

Break-even Example 1. A firm produces radios with a fixed cost of $7,000 per month and a variable cost of $5 per radio. If radios sell for $8 each: 1a) What is the break-even point? TR = TC so 8x = 7000 + 5x x = 7000/3 = 2,333.333 radios per month

  1. Break-even Example 1 A firm produces radios with a fixed cost of $7,000 per month and a variable cost of $5 per radio. If radios sell for $8 each: 1a) What is the break-even point? TR = TC so 8x = 7000 + 5x x = 7000/3 = 2,333.333 radios per month 1b) What output is needed to produce a profit of $2,000/month? Profit = 2000/month so TR - TC = 8x- (7000 + 5x) = 2000 x = 9000/3 = 3,000 radios per month

  2. Break-even Example 1 - continued 1c) What is the profit or loss if 500 radios are produced each week? First, get monthly production: 50052/12 = 2,166.6667 radios per month Then calculate profit or loss TR - TC = 82166.6667 - (7000 + 52166.6667) = $-500 per month ($500 loss per month)

  3. Break-even Example 2 A firm produces radios with a fixed cost of $7,000 per month and a variable cost of $5 per radio for the first 3,000 radios produced per month. For all radios produced each month after the first 3,000 the variable cost is $10 per radio (for added overtime and maintenance costs). If radios sell for $8 each: 2a) What are the break-even point(s)? Now TC has two parts depending on the level of production: For x 3000/month:TC = 7000 + 5x For x > 3000/month: TC = 7000 + 5(3000) + 10(x-3000) = -8000 + 10x For any x: TR = 8x

  4. Break-even Example 2 - continued For x 3000/month:TC = 7000 + 5x For x > 3000/month: TC = -8000 + 10x For any x: TR = 8x For x 3000/month:7000 + 5x = 8x so x = 2,333.33/month This is < 3000/month, so it is a valid break-even point. For x> 3000/month:-8000 + 10x = 8x so x = 4000/month This is > 3000/month, so it is also a valid break-even point.

  6. Break-even Example 3 A firm produces radios with a fixed cost of $7,000 per month and a variable cost of $5 per radio for the first 2,000 radios produced per month. For all radios produced each month after the first 2,000 the variable cost is $10 per radio (for added overtime and maintenance costs). If radios sell for $8 each: 3a) What are the break-even point(s)? Again TC has two parts depending on the level of production: For x2000/month:TC = 7000 + 5x For x > 2000/month: TC = 7000 + 5(2000) + 10(x-2000) = -3000 + 10x For any x: TR = 8x

  7. Break-even Example 3 - continued For x2000/month:TC = 7000 + 5x For x > 2000/month: TC = -3000 + 10x For any x: TR = 8x For x2000/month:7000 + 5x = 8x so x = 2,333.33/month This is not < 2000/month, so it is not a break-even point!! For x> 2000/month:-3000 + 10x = 8x so x = 1500/month This is not > 2000/month, so it is not a break-even point!! THERE ARE NO BREAK-EVEN POINTS!

  10. Crossover Chart Process A: Low volume, high variety Process B: Repetitive Process C: High volume, low variety Total cost - Process A Total cost - Process B Total cost - Process C Process B Process A Process C Lowest cost process

  11. Crossover Example Process A: FA = $5000/week VA = $10/unit Process B: FB = $8000/week VB = $4/unit Process C: FC = $10000/week VC = $3/unit Over which range of output is each process best? 1. At x = 0 A is best (FA is smallest fixed cost). 2. As x gets larger, either B or C may become better than A: B < A for x > 3000/6 or x > 500/week C < A for x > 5000/7 or x > 714.28/week so B is best for x > 500/week 3. Eventually, C will become better than B (VC< VB). C < B for x > 2000/week

  15. Time Value of Money - Net Present Value • Future cash receipt of amount F is worth less than F today. F = Future value N years in the future. P = Present value today. i = Interest rate.

  16. Annuities • An annuityis a annual series of equal payments. R = Amount received every year for N years. S = Present value today. S = RX where X is from Table 7.5 (page 264). Example: What is present value of $1,000,000 paid in 20 equal annual installments? For i=6%/year, S = 5000011.47 = $573,500 For i=14%/year, S = 500006.623 = $331,150

  17. Limitations of Net Present Value • Investments with the same NPV will differ: • Different lengths. • Different salvage values. • Different cash flows. • Assumes we know future interest rates! • Assumes payments are always made at the end of the period.

  18. Limitations of Net Present Value • Investments with the same present value may have significantly different project lives and different salvage values • Investments with the same net present values may have different cash flows • We assume that we know future interest rates - which we do not • We assume that payments are always made at the end of the period - which is not always the case
