Canon has user-replaceable printhead. Users can replace the printhead in about 10 minutes. Epson requires a technician to schedule an onsite visit and costs about $ 1,200. The Epson head is very durable - but won't last forever. Canon thermal head tends not to clog. Epson printer heads tends TO clog. Canon heads will self-clean if it does clog. Epson's heads do not. Canon's thermal technology (heat) tends to keep the nozzles cleaner than the piezo-electric design Epson uses.
Variable Cost per Unit. If the number of units produced in the period is 1,000 then the variable cost per unit is calculated as follows. Variable cost/unit = Variable cost / Number of units Variable cost/unit = 92,600 / 1,000 Variable cost/unit = 92.60.
Suppose a firm sells widgets for $40. The variable cost per unit equals $15. Fixed costs are equal to $700,000 for a year. Subtract the variable cost per unit of $15 from the $40 price, leaving $25.Divide fixed costs by $25 and you have a breakeven sales volume of 28,000 units.he formula for calculating unit variable costs is total variable expenses divided by the number of units. Suppose a company produces 50,000 widgets in a year. Variable expenditures might consist of: 1  Raw materials..........$350,000. 2  Production labor......$250,000.
