City Guilds Model Questions Vol1 2017 Engineering Question 16
Practice objective / multiple choice question 16 from the 2017 City Guilds Model Questions Vol1 Engineering examination.
A manufacturing firm can produce a component by either casting or machining. The casting process has a fixed setup cost of \(\text{₦}150{,}000\) and a variable cost of \(\text{₦}250\) per unit. If the production quantity exceeds 800 units, the variable cost per unit for casting drops by 10\% (to \(\text{₦}225\)). The machining process has a fixed setup cost of \(\text{₦}80{,}000\) and a variable cost of \(\text{₦}300\) per unit (no discount). Determine the smallest integer production quantity \(Q\) for which the total cost of casting becomes lower than the total cost of machining.
