Question:

Mountain Top Boot Company plans to expand its manufacturing capacity to allow up to 20,000 pairs of a new product each year. Because only one product will be produced, management is deciding between the production of the Sure Foot for backpacking and the Trail Runner for exercising. A marketing analysis shows mountain top could sell between 8,000 and 14,000 pairs of either product. The accounting department has developed the subsequent price and cost information:

selling price per pair..............sure foot=$80.00 trail runner=$75.00

variable costs per pair...........sure foot=$50.00 trail runner=$50.00

product costs..........................sure foot=$130,000.00 trail runner=$50,000.00

Facility costs for expansion, regardless of product, are $150,000. Mountain Top is subject to a 40 percent income tax rate.

a. Evaluate the number of pairs of Sure Foot boots Mountain Top must sell to get an after tax profit of $30,000.

b. Evaluate the number of pairs of each product Mountain Top must sell to get identical before tax profit.

c. for the solution to requirement b, determine Mountain Top's after-tax profit or loss.

e. how much could the variable costs per pair of the product NOT selected in requirement d have to fall before both products give the same profit at sales of 13,000 pairs?
