3. A company has different output levels, and incurs different total production costs at each level, as follows. Total Costs Output (units) 6,000 8,000 44,700 57,700 c) If the selling price is SXX/unit at all levels, what is the B.E.P.? d) What is the breakeven revenue?
Which of the following statements is true with respect to the degree of operating leverage (DOL)? Multiple Choice It is calculated as the ratio of contribution margin (CM) to operating income, at each level of output. It can be calculated and used by manufacturing but not service firms. For most firms, it is relatively constant in amount as sales volume changes. It is calculated as the amount of operating income × (1 − t), where t = the income tax rate. It provides a simple way to estimate the change in total fixed cost for a given change in sales volume.
If an organization wants to make a profit, it must generate more sales revenue than the total costs it incurs. This relation can be expressed using which of the following profit equations? O a. Operating income = [(Sales price per unit - Variable cost per unit) x #units sold] - Fixed cost O b. Operating income = [Sales price per unit - Fixed cost per unit) x # units produced] -Variable cost Oc Operating income Sales revenue - Total variable costs - Discretionary costs O d. Operating income - Sales revenue - Committed costs - Fixed costs
a. Given the following graphs, calculate the total fixed costs, variable costs per unit, andsales price for Firm A. Firm B’s fixed costs are $120,000, its variable costs per unit are$4, and its sales price is $8 per unit.b. Which firm has the higher operating leverage at any given level of sales? Explain.c. At what sales level, in units, do both firms earn the same operating profit?
Suppose a ceiling fan manufacturer has the total cost function C(x) = 35x + 1200 and the total revenue function R(x) = 65x. (a) What is the equation of the profit function P(x) for this commodity? P(x) = (b) What is the profit on 20 units? P(20) = Interpret your result. The total costs are less than the revenue. The total costs are more than the revenue. The total costs are exactly the same as the revenue. (c) How many fans must be sold to avoid losing money? fans
Which of the following is true regarding the contribution margin ratio of a company that produces onlya single producct? Select one: O a. As fixed expenses decrease, the contribution margin ratio is unaffected. Ob.The contribution margin ratio equals the selling price per unit less the variable expense ratio. O c The contribution margin ratio divided by the selling price per unit equals the contribution margin per unit. Od. None of the given answer is correct. Oe. The contribution margin ratio will decline as unit sales decline.

Costs can be divided into variable and fixed components O d. Fixed cost per unit is not constant O e. Selling price per unit does not change with volume
The total cost formula for a company can be modeled by TC = 12570+ 50x where x represents the number of items sold. A formula for the company's total income is modeled with TR 80x, where a represents the number of items sold. This company will breakeven when its total costs equal its total income. - How many items must this company sell to breakeven? Answer:
