  1. Costs

  2. Those where amounts can not be changed in the short run (e.g. building mortgage, building heat, equipment, insurance costs, bond interest)… Fixed Costs Variable Costs Costs whose total amount goes up or down when volume goes up or down (also called - direct costs, incremental costs, or marginal costs), (e.g. raw materials, shielding gas, electrodes, some energy costs, labor)

  3. Opportunity Costs Profits which a foregone choice of action would have earned but which are lost because another choice is made. ·        A person who keeps money in a mattress incurs opportunity costs - loss of interest - because of the decision ·        VW introduced rabbit - sold out immediately - loss opportunity cost of several million dollars because not enough supply ·        Cabbage Patch Kids ·        Tickle-me Elmo ·        Time value of money

  4. $1 on hand today is worth more than $1 in future by amount of interest it could earn and inflation adjustments Time Value of Money Future Value of Present Money (with interest compounded) Example You have $100 and can invest it at 10% per year and invest for 3 years: Therefore, the opportunity cost of not investing is $33.10

  5. Sunk Cost a) Money lost in bad investments (e.g. plant abandoned before production) b)      Money tied up in a plant where it could have earned higher return on some other venture.

  6. BREAK EVEN ANALYSIS P x Q = F + (V x Q) → Q = F/(P-V) P = price per unit Q = quantity F = fixed costs V = variable costs per unit

  7. BREAK EVEN ANALYSIS P x Q = F + (V x Q) → Q = F/(P-V) P=$100 F=$20,000/mo V=$80 P = price per unit Q = quantity F = fixed costs V = variable costs per unit Example We are making all welded bicycles. They sell at $100/bike. Material and labor costs are $80 per unit. Equipment and building mortgage per month is $20,000. What is the break-even quantity which must be sold each month? Q = $20,000/($100 - $80) Q = 1000 units

  8. CONTRIBUTION TO OVERHEAD OR PROFIT Amount by which the selling price/unit exceeds the variable costs/unit: Contribution = (P-V) P=$100 F=$20,000/mo V=$80 Contribution = $20 Contribution offsets fixed costs until 1000 units are sold (break-even point). Profit begins after break-even point.

  9. CALCULATION CONSIDERING DESIRED PROFIT Q = (F + desired profit) / (P - V) P=$100 F=$20,000/mo V=$80 In our example, if we want to make $5000 profit: Q = (20,000 + 5,000) / (100 - 80) = 1250 units CALCULATION CONSIDERING TAX Q = {F + (desired profit)/(1- tax rate)}/(P-V) If the tax rate is 40% Q = {20,000 + 5000/(1-0.4)} / (100 - 80) = 1417 units

  10. CONTRIBUTION RATIO CR = {(P-V) X 100} / P P=$100 F=$20,000/mo V=$80 CR = {(100-80) X 100} / 100 = 20% Comparing contribution ratios of various products we produce allows us to select the items to “push” in sales.

  11. Cost of Welding Cost of Weldment ($/ft) Cost incurred to make a weld (includes joint prep, consumables, labor, overhead, pre- & post-weld treatment, etc.) ·Used to compare cost advantages of weld vs. Other manufacturing processes ·Used to decide on the most cost effective joint design or most cost effective welding process to use ·Used as a basis for investment in new automated equipment ($/piece) Cost incurred to make entire structure (includes all of above plus summation of all the weldments and raw material costs) ·Used to bid on a welding job

  12. Welding Procedure This is the starting point for cost estimating. Procedure should include: ·Joint details ·Welding process ·Type of filler ·Type of gas/fluxes ·Welding current ·Position (operator factor) ·Travel speed ·Post weld treatment

B) Trade off reduced costs to prepare joint with amount of weld metal to fill joint. Example: A submerged arc joint can be flame cut (inexpensive) but may require a lot of weld metal to fill the joint (expensive). {see “cost of welding”}
