Valley of Fire Corporation has one department that produces three replacement parts for the company. However, only one part can be produced in any month because of the adjustments that must be made to the equipment. The department can produce up to 15,000 units of any one of the three parts in each month. The company expresses the monthly after tax cost/volume/profit relationships for each part using an equation method.
The format of the equations and the equation for each replacement part are given below:
(ATR) X ((SP VC) x (U) FC)
ATR = after-tax rate VC = variable cost FC = fixed costs
SP = selling price U = units
