Costs
Fixed Costs
Variable Costs
Those where amounts can not be
changed in the short run (e.g. building
mortgage, building heat, equipment,
insurance costs, bond interest)…
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)
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



Time value of money
Time Value of Money
$1 on hand today is
worth more than $1 in future by
amount of interest it could earn
and inflation adjustments
Future Value of Present Money (with interest
compounded)
Example
You have $100 and can
fu  pr (1  i)n
invest it at 10% per year
fu  future  value
and invest for 3 years:
pr  present  amount
i  int erest  decimal
n  number  periods
fu  100(1  0.1)3  133.10
Therefore, the opportunity
cost of not investing is
$33.10
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.
BREAK EVEN ANALYSIS
P x Q = F + (V x Q)
P = price per unit
Q = quantity
F = fixed costs
V = variable costs per unit
→
Q = F/(P-V)
BREAK EVEN ANALYSIS
P x Q = F + (V x Q)
P = price per unit
Q = quantity
F = fixed costs
V = variable costs per unit
→
Q = F/(P-V)
P=$100
F=$20,000/mo
V=$80
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
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.
CALCULATION CONSIDERING DESIRED PROFIT
Q = (F + desired profit) / (P - V)
In our example, if we
want to make $5000 profit:
P=$100
F=$20,000/mo
V=$80
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
CONTRIBUTION RATIO
CR = {(P-V) X 100} / P
P=$100
F=$20,000/mo
V=$80
CR = {(100-80) X 100} / 100 = 20%
Comparing contribution ratios of various
products we produce allows us to select the
items to “push” in sales.
Cost of Welding
($/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
Cost of Weldment
($/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
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

COST OF JOINT PREPARATION
Methods of Joint Prep
Machined Joints - (most
expensive)
Flame or Plasma Cut Joints

A) Do cost analysis
on expensive)
several joint designs to minimize joint prep
cost:
Note:
If a non-prequalified joint is used, you may incur the
added cost of procedure qualification.
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”}

COST OF LABOR
(single greatest factor in
total cost of weldment)
Operator Factor: percent of time that a
welder is actually making a useful weld.
 Semi-automatic and automatic plants
have higher operator factors
 Field welding / construction work with
small welds in scattered locations have low
operator factor
 Welding in the flat position has higher
operator factor than horizontal, vertical,
overhead:
1. Faster travel speed
2. Fewer defects / fewer repairs
 Use of fixtures, positioners, and
handling equipment increases operator
factor
 Slag chipping, electrode changes,
moving from joint to joint all reduce
operator factor
