Neptune Company a small inflatable toy that it is anxious to introduce to its customers. The company's marketing department estimates that the demand for the new toy range between 10 000 units and 40 000 units per month. The new toy will sell for $9.00 per unit. Enough capacity exists in the company's plan to produce 15 000 units of toys each month. Variable expense to manufacture and sell one unit would be $5.00, and incremental fixed expense associated with the toy would total $32 000 per month. Neptune has also identified an outside supplier who could produce the toy for a price of $4.00 per unit plus a fixed fee $29 000 per month for any production volume up to 15 000 units. For production volume between 15 001 and 35 000 units the fixed fee would increase to a total of $58 000 per month. Required: 1. Calculate the break-even point in unit sales assuming that Neptune does not hire the outside supplier. 2. How much profit will Neptune earn assuming: a. It produces and sells 15 000 units. b. It does not produce any units and instead outsources the production of 15 000 units to the outside supplier and then sells those units to its customers. 3.
