A company that produces pleasure boats has decided to


A company that produces pleasure boats has decided to expand one of its lines. Current facilities are insufficient to handle the increased workload, so the company is considering three alternatives, A (new location), B (subcontract), and C (expand existing facilities). Alternative A would involve substantial fixed costs but relatively low variable costs: fixed costs would be $270,000 per year, and variable costs would be $530 per boat. Subcontracting would involve a cost per boat of $2,560, and expansion would require an annual fixed cost of $60,000 and a variable cost of $1,060 per boat. a. Find the range of output for each alternative that would yield the lowest total cost. (Leave no cells blank - be certain to enter "0" wherever required. Round your answers to the nearest whole number.) A or more B to C to b. Which alternative would yield the lowest total cost for an expected annual volume of 50 boats? A B C
