I'm currently working on an assignment for my Operations Management course and need assistance with process selection based on cost analysis.
Scenario:
A company is evaluating two production processes for a new product:
- Process A: Fixed Costs = $50,000; Variable Cost per Unit = $10
- Process B: Fixed Costs = $25,000; Variable Cost per Unit = $18
Tasks:
- Determine the break-even point where both processes have equal total costs.
- Identify which process is more cost-effective at production volumes of 3,000 and 7,000 units.
- Provide a brief explanation of how the break-even analysis informs the decision-making process in operations management.
