Vizzini Company produces an automotive part. The part consists of three purchased raw materials (A, B, and C) that cost $0.40, $0.35, and $0.15 cents per unit, respectively. Parts A and B are assembled first on assembly line 1, which produces 140 sub-assemblies (A and B combined) per hour. Part C undergoes a drilling operation before being finally assembled with the output from assembly line 1. There are in total six drilling machines, but at present only three of them are operational. Each drilling machine drills part C at a rate of 50 parts per hour. In the final assembly, the output from assembly line 1 is assembled with the drilled part C. The final assembly line produces at a rate of 160 components per hour. At present, components are produced eight hours a day and five days a week. Management believes that if need arises, it can add a second shift of eight hours for the assembly lines.

The cost of assembly labor is 30 cents per part for each assembly line; the cost of drilling labor is 15 cents per part. For drilling, the cost of electricity is one cent per part. The total overhead cost has been calculated as $1,200 per week. The depreciation cost for equipment has been calculated as $30 per week.

C-1: New capacity 9600 units per week

C-2: Final assembly line limits the capacity

D-1: $1.81 cost per unit

d-2. Determine the cost per unit output for part c. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.

Cost per unit:________

e. The product is sold at $4.00 per unit. Assume that the cost of a drilling machine (fixed cost) is $30,000 and the company produces 8,000 units per week. Assume that four drilling machines are used for production. If the company had an option to buy the same part at $3.00 per unit, what would be the break-even number of units? In your calculations, use the cost per unit from the above question d-1. Round the answer for this question to the nearest whole number.

Break-even point:______units
