A product is currently made in a process-focused shop, where fixed costs are $21,000 per year and variable cost is $47 per unit. The firm is considering a fundamental shift in process, to repetitive manufacture. The new process would have fixed costs of $72,000, and variable costs of $11. What is the crossover point for these processes (round to the nearest whole unit)? For what range of outputs is each process appropriate?
