You need to increase the capacity of your manufacturing operation by adding new equipment. Two vendors have presented proposals., summarized as follows:
Proposal A: FC = $50K, VC = $12/unit
Proposal B: FC = $70K, VC = $10/unit
Sales Revenue = $20.00 /unit sold
Draw the graph to represent the costs and revenue stream.
a. Calculate the BEP for Proposal A?
b. Calculate the BEP for Proposal B?
c. Over what range of volumes is each proposal the lesser cost?
