A division of Hewelett-Packard Company altered its production operations from one where large labor force assembled electronic components to the automated production facility dominated by computer-controlled robots. The change was necessary due to fierce competitive pressures. Improvements in quality, reliability, and flexibility of production schedules were necessary just to match competition. As a result of the change, variable costs fell and fixed costs increased, as shown in the following assumed budgets:
Old Production Operation Old Production Operation
Unit variable cost
Material $0.88 $0.88
Labor $1.22 0.22
Total per unit $2.10 $1.10
Monthly fixed costs
Rent and depreciation 450,000.00 $875,000.00
Supervisory labor 80,000.00 175,000.00
Other 50,000.00 90,000.00
Total per month $580,000.00 $1,140,000.00
Expected volume is 600,000 units per month, with each unit selling for $3.10 Capacity is 800,000 units.
1. Evaluate the budgeted profit as the expected volume of 600,000 units under both the old and the new production environments.
2. Evaluate the budgeted break-even point under both the old and the new production environments.
3. Evaluate the effect on profits if volume falls to 500,000 units under both the old and the new production environments.
4. Describe the effect on profits if volume increases to 700,000 units under both the old and the new production environments.
5. Comment on the riskiness of the new operation versus the old operation.
