Maddie noticed that many students on campus had t-shirts with greek organization letters or club names on them. recognizing that there was a huge market for this attire, maddie rented a store front and a silk screening machine to get into the t-shirt business. maddie's rent is $1,000 a month, including utilities. the silk screen machine leases for $300 a month. maddie can buy blank t-shirts for $6 each and determined the cost of materials for the silk screening at $2.50 per unit. considering just the figures provided above, how many t-shirts does she need to sell each month to breakeven if she prices the screened t-shirts at $15?

Special order carson manufacturing, inc., sells a single product for $36 per unit. at an operating level of 8,000 units, variable costs are $18 per unit and fixed costs $10 per unit. carson has been offered a price of $20 per unit on a special order of 2,000 units by big mart discount stores, which would use its own brand name on the item. if carson accepts the order, material cost will be $3 less per unit than for regular production. however, special stamping equipment costing $4,000 would be needed to process the order; the equipment would then be discarded. assuming that volume remains within the relevant range, prepare an analysis of differential revenue and costs to determine whether carson should accept the special order. use a negative sign with answer to only indicate an income loss from special order; otherwise do not use negative signs with your answers.
