Costs

• Total cost = Variable cost + Fixed cost


C (q) = v q + F

• Marginal cost = Variable cost per unit, i.e., slope of


the total cost function

• Average cost = Total cost per unit,


= Total cost / no. of unit produced
Problem set 1-4

If the total factory cost, y, of making x units of


a product is given by y = 3x + 20, and if 50
units are made:
a) What is the total variable cost?
b) What is the total cost?
c) What is the variable cost per unit?
d) What is the average cost per unit?
e) what is the marginal cost per unit?
Problem set 1-4

A printer quotes a price of $7,500 for printing


1,000 copies of a book and $15,000 for
printing 2,500 copies. Assuming linear
relationship and that 2,000 books are printed :
a) Find the equation relating the total
cost, y, to x, the number of books printed.
b) What is the total variable cost?
c) What is the total cost?
d) What is the variable cost per unit?
e) What is the average cost per unit?
f) what is the marginal cost of the last
book printed?
Break –Even Point
Revenue = (Price per unit) (Number of unit sold)
i.e., R (q) = p q

Total cost = Variable cost + Fixed cost


C (q) = v q + F

Profit = Revenue – Cost


P(q) = R (q) – C(q) = p q – (v q + F)

At, break-even point, Revenue = Cost


Break - Even Point

Break-Even quantity = F / (p – v)

Break-Even sales = F / (1 – m) ,
where, m = Total VC / Total Sales

Margin = Markup / Retail Price


= (Selling price per unit – average cost per unit) /
Selling price per unit
or, Margin = Revenue – Variable cost
Cost-Volume Analysis

The owner of Old-Fashioned Berry Pies, S.


Simon, is contemplating adding a new line of
pies, which will require leasing new equipment
for a monthly payment of $6,000. Variable
costs would be $2.00 per pie, and pies would
retail for $7.00 each.
1. How many pies must be sold in order to
break even?
2. What would the profit (loss) be if 1,000 pies
are made and sold in a month?
3. How many pies must be sold to realize a
profit of $4,000?
4. If 2,000 pies can be sold, and a profit target
is $5,000, what price should be charged per
Cost-Volume Analysis
A manager has the option of purchasing one, two,
or three machines. Fixed cost and potential
volumes are as follows:
Number Total annual Corresponding
of Machines Fixed Cost Range of Output
1 $ 9,600 0 to 300
2 $ 15,000 301 to 600
3 $ 20,000 601 to 900
Variable cost is $10 per unit, and revenue is $40
per unit.
A. Determine the break-even point for each range.
B. If projected annual demand is between 580 and
660 units, how many machines should the
manager purchase?
Cost-Volume Analysis

A company operates on a margin of 33% of


retail and estimates other variable cost at
$0.13 per dollar of sales. Fixed expense is
estimated at $4,000.

a) Find the revenue, cost, and profit function.

b) What would the profit if sales are $50,000 ?

c) What would the profit if sales are $15,000 ?

d) What is the break even sales volume?


Cost-Volume Analysis

Let the sales are $s


Margin = $0.33 s
Variable Cost = $0.67 s
Other VC = $0.13 s
Total VC = $0.80 s

Therefore, Total Cost = VC + FC = $0.80 s + $4,000

a) R (s) = s, C(s) = 0.80 s + 4,000

b) P(s) = R (s) – C(s) = s - 0.80 s - 4,000 = 0.2s - 4000


Profit at sales $50,000 = 0.2 x 50000 - 4000
= $6000
c) Profit at sales $15,000 = 0.2 x 15000 - 4000 = - $1000

d) BEP = 4000/ (1 – 0.8) = $20000


Linear Demand Function

Demand functions express prices as a


function of quantity demanded.

D: P = -0.2q + 20

D’: P = -0.2q + 22

Vertical demand function, q = 10


Horizontal demand function, p = 5
Systems of Linear equations

Often the variables encountered in a problem may


have to fulfill more than one condition. when
each of the conditions can be expressed in the
form of linear equations, the mathematical
description of the problem becomes a system of
linear equations.
