A new product is being designed by an engineering team at Golem Security. Several managers and employees from the cost accounting department and the marketing department are also on the team to evaluate the product and determine the cost using a target costing methodology. An analysis of similar products on the market suggests a price of $132.00 per unit. The company requires a profit of 0.20 of selling price. How much is the target cost per unit? Round to two decimal places.
The management of a firm wants to introduce a new product. The product will sell for $3 a unit and can be produced by either of two scales of operation. In the first, total costs are TC = $3,500 + $2.7Q. In the second scale of operation, total costs are TC = $7,910 + $2.4Q. What is the break-even level of output for each scale of operation? Round your answers to the nearest whole number. The first scale of operation: units The second scale of operation: units What will be the firm’s profits for each scale of operation if sales reach 14,700 units? Round your answers to the nearest dollar. The first scale of operation: $ The second scale of operation: $ One-half of the fixed costs are noncash (depreciation). All other expenses are for cash. If sales are 11,400 units, will cash receipts cover cash expenses for each scale of operation? Enter your answers as positive values. Round your answers to the nearest dollar.

A company that sells radios has yearly fixed costs of $600,000. It costs the company $45 to produce each radio. Each radio will sell for $65. The company's costs and revenue are modeled by the following functions, where x represents the number of radios produced and sold: C(x) = 600,000 + 45x This function models the company's costs. R(x) = 65x. This function models the company's revenue. Find and interpret (R – C)(20,000), (R – C)(30,000), and (R - C)(40,000).
