Problem:
Managers at Midnight Manufacturing must decide how many pipe rolling machines to purchase. Each machine can process 100 pipes per hour. One machine will result in a fixed cost of $2,100 per hour, while two machines will result in a fixed cost of $3,700 per hour. Variable costs will be $16 per pipe, and revenue will be $45 per pipe.
Determine the break-even point for each alternative. (Round your answers to the next whole number.)
One Machine?
two Machine?
