COST CONCEPTS
Fixed / Variable Costs – If costs change appreciably with fluctuations in business activity, they are “variable.” Otherwise, they are “fixed.”
A widely used cost model is:
Total Costs = Fixed Costs + Variable Costs
Some examples of fixed costs: Insurance, taxes on facilities, administrative salaries, rental payments and initial setup or installation.
Some examples of variable costs: direct labor, direct material, unit transportation.

Example 1.1
In connection with surfacing a new highway, a contractor has a choice of two sites on which to set up the mixing plant equipment.
The contractor estimates that it will cost $1.15 per cubic meter per kilometer to haul the asphalt paving material from the mixing plant to the job site.
If site B is selected, there will be an added charge of $96 per day for a flagman
The job requires 50,000 cubic meters of mixed asphalt paving material. It is estimated that four months (17 weeks of five working days per week) will be required for the job
10
Example 1.1 (continued)
Cost Factors Site A Site B
Average hauling distance 6 km 4.3 km
Monthly rental of site $1000 $5000
Cost to setup and remove equipment $15000 $25000
Hauling expense $1.15 / m3/km $1.15 / m3/km
a) Compare the two sites in terms of their fixed, variable,
and total costs.
b) For the selected site, how much profit can be made if
it is paid $8.05 per cubic meter delivered to the job
site?
11
Example 1.1 (solution to a)
Fixed Costs Site A Site B
Monthly rental of site $1000 x 4 $5000 x 4
Cost to setup and remove
equipment
$15,000 $25,000
Flagman wage 0 $96 x 85
Total Fixed Costs $19,000 $53,160
Variable Costs Site A Site B
Hauling expense $1.15 / m3/km x 6 km x
50,000 m3 = $345,000
$1.15 / m3/km x 4.3 km x
50,000 m3 = $247,250
Total Costs Site A Site B
Fixed + Variable $364,000 $300,410
12
Example 1.1 (solution to b)
PROFIT = REVENUE – TOTAL COST
REVENUE = $8.05 / m3 (50,000 m3) = $402,500
PROFIT = $402,500 – $300,410 = $102,090

BREAKEVEN ANALYSIS

TR = Total Revenue
CT = Total Cost
CF = Fixed Cost

v = Unit Variable Cost per unit
p = Price per unit
Q = Demand (output rate)

, for p > v.
at BREAKEVEN point (QBE), TR = CT,
so NO LOSS & NO PROFIT
p(Q) = CF + v(Q),
if DEMAND (Q) > QBE , then PROFIT
if DEMAND (Q) < QBE , then LOSS
16
Example 1.3
a) What is the breakeven point in standard service hours and in percentage of total capacity?
b) What is the percentage reduction in the breakeven point (sensitivity) if fixed costs are reduced 10%?
An engineering consulting firm measures its output in a standard service hour unit. The variable cost (v) is $62 per standard service hour. The charge-out rate (i.e., selling price “p”) is 1.38v = $85.56 per hour. The maximum output of the firm is 160,000 hours per year, and its fixed cost (CF) is $2,024,000 per year. For this firm,

The General Price-Demand Relationship
21
The General Price-Demand Relationship
The relationship between price and demand can be
expressed as a linear function:
where
p = price per unit
Q = demand for the product or service (# of units)
a = base (maximum) price (intercept on the price axis)
b = slope of the price-Demand line
1/b = amount by which demand increases for each unit
decrease in price
Q = a/b – p(1/b) = (a – p) / b
or
p = a – bQ for 0 Q a / b, and a>0, b>0
22
The Total Revenue Function
TR = (price per unit) x (demand) = pQ
where
p = price per unit
Q = demand for the product or service (# of units)
a = base (maximum) price (intercept on the price axis)
b = slope of the price-Demand line
TR = (a - bQ)Q = aQ - bQ2 for 0 Q a / b

Example 1.6 A company produces an electronic timing switch that is used
in consumer and commercial products made by several other
manufacturing firms. The fixed cost (CF) is $73,000 per month,
and the variable cost (v) is $83 per unit. The selling price per
unit is p = $180 – 0.02Q. For this situation;
a) Find the volumes at which breakeven occurs; that is, what
is the domain of profitable demand?
b) Determine the optimal volume for this product in order to
maximize profit.
c) What is the maximum profit per month at the optimal
volume?
29
Example 1.6 (solution to a) TR = CT or Profit = 0
Profit = TR – CT = pQ – CF – vQ = 0
Profit = (180 – 0.02Q)Q – 73,000 – 83Q = 0
– 0.02Q2 + (180 – 83) Q – 73,000 = 0

The domain of profitable
demand per month = 932 units to 3,918 units
30
Example 1.6 (solution to b)
Profit = (180 – 0.02Q)Q – 73,000 – 83Q
Profit = – 0.02Q2 + (180 – 83) Q – 73,000
Take first derivative and set = 0
dProfit / dQ = 0 – 0.04Q + 97 = 0
Q* = 2,425 units /month (# of products that maximizes
profit)
d2Profit / dQdQ = – 0.04 < 0
It proves that Q* maximizes profit
31
Example 1.6 (solution to c)
Use equation for profit and Q* = 2,425 units /month,
Profit = (180 – 0.02Q)Q – 73,000 – 83Q
Profit = – 0.02Q2 + (180 – 83) Q – 73,000
Maximum Profit = – 0.02(2,425)2 + (97)(2,425) – 73,000
Maximum Profit = $44,612 /month
Cost Driven Design Optimization
1. Identify the design variable that is the primary cost
driver.
2. Express the cost model in terms of the design variable.
3. For continuous cost functions, differentiate to find the
optimal value. For discrete functions, calculate cost
over a range of values of the design variable.
4. Solve the equation in step 3 for a continuous function.
For discrete, the optimum value has the minimum cost
value found in step 3.
A simplified cost function.
where,
a is a parameter that represents the directly varying cost(s),
b is a parameter that represents the indirectly varying cost(s),
k is a parameter that represents the fixed cost(s), and
X represents the design variable in question.

Present Economy Studies
Alternatives are being compared over one year or less.
When revenues and other economic benefits vary among alternatives, choose the alternative that maximizes overall profitability of defect-free output.
When revenues and other economic benefits are not present or are constant among alternatives, choose the alternative that minimizes total cost per defect-free unit.
Example 2.9 on pg.64
Machine A Machine B
Production rate 100 parts/hour 130 parts/hour
Available hours 7 hours/day 6 hours/day
Defective ratio 3% 10%
37
Material cost = $6 per part Selling price = $12 per part
(a) Which machine should be selected?
(b) What is the breakeven defective ratio?
Operator cost = $15 per hour Overhead cost = $5 per hour
Solution to (a)
38
Profit = (100)(7)(12)(1 – 0.03) – (100)(7)(6) – (7)(20)
= $ 3,808 per day
Profit = (130)(6)(12)(1 – 0.10) – (130)(6)(6) – (6)(20)
= $ 3,624 per day
Machine A:
Machine B:
Therefore, select machine A to maximize profit per day
Solution to (b)
39
Profit = (130)(6)(12)(1 – X) – (130)(6)(6) – (6)(20) = 3,808
X= 0.08
