4.) After 10 years of production, the chemical manufacturing plant has become very successful. Because of its success, a great demand for products came as many consumers wanted the company to sell them their products. To meet the demand, three alternatives were considered. Work overtime to meet demands. Annual overtime expenses are $500,000. Expand the plant to accommodate more production. Fixed annual expenses are $2,500,000. Make a contract with another company to produce additional products at a rate of $1,000,000. The cost of manufacturing products from the three alternatives are $3500, $3000 and $3250 per unit respectively. The plant sells every unit made regardless of how they were made at $15,000 per unit. The expected demand for the product is 150 units with a probability of 50% 250 units with a probability of 35% 350 units with a probability of 7.5% 400 units with a probability of 5% 500 units with a probability of 2.5%

2. A company is analyzing a make-versus-purchase situation for a component used in several products and the engineering department has developed these data: Option A: Purchase 10,000 items per year at a fixed cost of Php 340 per item. The cost of placing the order is negligible according to the present cost accounting procedure. Option B: Manufacture 10,000 items per year, using available capacity in the factory. Cost estimates are direct materials= Php 200 per item and direct labor = Php 60 per item. Manufacturing overhead is allocated at 200% of direct labor. Based on these data, should the item be purchased or manufacture?

Hahn Manufacturing purchases a key component of one of its products from a local supplier. The current purchase price is $1,500 per unit. Efforts to standardize parts succeeded to the point that this same component can now be used in five different products. Annual component usage should increase from 150 to 750 units. Management wonders whether it is time to make the component in-house rather than to continue buying it from the supplier. Fixed costs would increase by about $40,000 per year for the new equipment and tooling needed. The cost of raw materials and variable overhead would be about $1,100 per unit, and labor costs would be $300 per unit produced.  so  What is the break-even quantity?
