I need help setting up. this excel sheet with this infomation and this example. chart
A fabrication company must replace its widget machines and is evaluating the capabilities of two available machines. Machine A would cost the company $75,000 in fixed costs for the first year. Each widget using machine A would have a variable cost of $16. Machine B would have a fixed cost of $62,000 and a variable cost of $20. A would have the capacity of making 18,000 widgets per year, which is double the capacity of Machine B.
Answer the following questions:
1. If Widgets sell for $28.00 each, find the Break Even point for each machine.
2. If the demand for widgets is 6,500 units then which machine will be selected? Why?
hints: Use the Break Even template attached. One for machine A and one for Machine B
Enter the fixed cost and variable cost and let it autocalcualte. Then use Goal Seek to find the break even point for both Machine A and B
Then Copy Both template and paste them next to them. (you should have a total of 4 templates on each sheet)
Then change the number of units to 6.500 for each machine and watch Excel recalculate the profit based on that volume
I am looking for 5 answers.
Break even for A & B, Total Profit for A & B and then which machine you would choose.
There should be 4 templates and 5 answers under them.
