Level of production is 3,500 units
(A) determine break-even point in terms of volume & sales value (B) calculate margin of safety
7. Engineers at General motors want to investigate alternative design. Both the design will serve
equally well and will involve the same material and manufacturing cost expect for the lathe and
grinder operations. Design A will require 20 hours of lathe time and 8 hours of grinder time per
10,000 units. Design B will require of lathe time and 22 hours of grinder time per 10,000 units. The
operating cost of the lathe including labour is Rs.400 per hour. The operating cost of the grinder
including labour is Rs.300 per hour. Which design should be adopted if 10,00,000 units are required
per year and what is the economic advantage of the best alternative.

end of the 10th year of the above series
7. A manufacturing company has extra capacity which can be used to produce gears that the company
has been buying for Rs300 each. If the company makes the gears it will incur material cost of Rs90
per unit, labour cost of Rs120 per unit and variable overhead cost of Rs30 per unit. The annual fixed
cost associated with unused capacity is Rs240000. Demand over the next year is estimated at 4000
units. (a)should the company make the gears or continue to buy? (b) Suppose the capacity, could be
used by another department for the production of some pump Components that would cover its
fixed and variable cost and contribute Rs90000 to profit. Which Would be more advantageous, gear

increasing by Rs.20,000 per year in the second and subsequent years. Machine B COSTS Rs100000
and operating costs are Rs.4000 for the first year, increasing by Rs.8000 in the second and
subsequent years. If we now have a machine of type A, should we replace it with B? Assume that
both machines have no resale value and future costs are not discounted.

negligible at any year. Based on experience, it was found that the maintenance cost is zero during
the first year and it increased by Rs100 every year thereafter(a) when should the equipment be
