2. Your insurance firm processes claims through its newer, larger high-tech facility and its older, smaller low-tech facility. Each month, the high-tech facility handles 10,000 claims, incurs $100,000 in fixed costs and $100,000 in variable costs. Each month, the low-tech facility handles 2,000 claims, incurs $16,000 in fixed costs and $24,000 in variable costs. If you anticipate a decrease in the number of claims, where will you lay off workers?

Explanation / Answer
Hi,
The correct answers are as follows;
1) a) Decide whether to expand an existing product into a new region.
Explanation: Extent decision is a decision regarding how much or how many of a product to produce. hence the above statement asks to decide what quantity should be produced to expand an existing product into a new region.
---------
3)
We can calculate the break even price based on the following formula:
(Total fixed cost / Production unit volume) + Variable cost per unit
= (15000/5000)+4
=$7 per unit
Hence the breakeven price is $7
--------------
George’s break-even price if he were to sell 50% more = (15000/7500)+4
=$6 per unit
