E–2 The Great Fish Taco Corporation currently has fixed operating costs of $15,000, sells its premade tacos for $6 per box, and incurs variable operating costs of $2.50 per box. If the firm has a potential investment that would simultaneously raise its fixed costs to $16,500 and allow it to charge a per-box sale price of $6.50 due to better-textured tacos, what will the impact be on its operating breakeven point in boxes? Given : FC1= $15,000 P1= $6 per unit VC= $2.5 per unit
QO.B.E = FC (P - VC) QO.B.E = 15,000 (6 – 2.5) QO.B.E 1= 4285.7 units

Given : FC2= $16,500 P2= $6.5 per unit VC= $2.5 per unit

QO.B.E =

FC (P - VC)

QO.B.E = 16,500 (6.5 – 2.5) QO.B.E 1= 4125units

QO.B.E 1= ??

QO.B.E 2= ??

Impact of changes in fixed operating cost and in price per unit on operating breakeven point: QO.B.E 1 = 4285.7 > QO.B.E 2 = 4125 which means that even though there was an increase in fixed operating costs that have a positive effect on breakeven point in case 2, but there was also an increase in price per unit that have a negative effect on breakeven point, and the negative effect had a larger impact than the positive

I had to figure out which plan would be better, (cheaper), to recommend to my friend. AT&T offered a plan with a $.20 per text charge and a $15 initiation fee, while Verizon offered a plan with a $.10 per text message fee and a $70 initiation fee. I found, by comparing the two plans algebraically, that AT&T would be better if my friend is planning on sending less than 550 texts per month, and Verizon would be better if they are planning on sending more than 550 texts.…
