Yes, David must lower his pricing and get the new press because it has the quickest breakeven time in this construction.
Qa:
F = $15400 in fixed cost
V = $0.25 for variable costs
P=$1.1, the selling price.
Contribution margin (C) = P-V (1.1-0.25) = $0.85
F/C=15400/0.85 is the breakeven point.
= 18117.65
= 18118 tops
Qb:
Low demand prediction:
50 shirts per day/18118
= 362.36
~ 363 days
high estimate of demand of breakeven:
daily 18118/200 shirts
= 90.59
~ 91 days
Qc:
New contribution margin: 0.99 minus 0.25 equals $0.74
F/C=15400/0.74=20811 shirts as the new breakeven quantity.
250 shirts per day are the new estimates for demand.
Time to break even is equal to 20811/250.
= 83.24 days
