2. Three alternative designs have been created by Snakisco engineers for a new machine that
spreads cheese between the crackers in a Snakisco snack. Each machine design has unique total
costs (fixed and variable) based on the annual production rate of boxes of these crackers. For the
three designs the costs are given below (where x is the annual production rate of boxes of cheese
crackers).
Variable Costs ($ per x)
Fixed Costs
Design A
$100,000
20.5x
Design B
$350,000
Design C
$600,000
10.5x
8.0x
You are asked to do the following:
a. Mathematically determine which of the machine designs would be recommended for
different levels of annual production of boxes of snack crackers. Management is
interested in the production interval of 0 to 150,000 boxes of crackers per year. Over
what production volume would each design (A or B or C) be chosen?
b. Depict your solution from part a graphically for management to see more easily, include:
Accurate total cost lines for each alternative (show line and line equations).
Any relevant breakeven, or cross-over points in terms of costs between the
alternatives.
Ranges of annual production where each alternative is preferred.
Clearly label your axes (x per year on the horizontal axis and $ on the vertical axis)
and include a caption for your figure.
