The VP of Finance Studied the Printing Costs at the University

question 47

Essay

The VP of Finance studied the printing costs at the university and knew it was time for bold, decisive action. The annual fixed cost of printing at the school was $850,000 and the per-page cost was one cent. Fortunately, his brother-in-law happened to own a company that would lease the printers to the university for only $600,000. The only issue to be decided was what the per-page cost would be for the leased printers. On average, the university had been printing about 10,000,000 pages per year. What would a break-even per-page printing cost be given the average printing volume?
