- Pollution Prevention, P2 Investment Heaps Company produces jewelry that requires electroplating with gold, silver, and other valuable metals. Electroplating uses large amounts of water and chemicals, producing wastewater with a number of toxic residuals. Currently, Heaps uses settlement tanks to remove waste; unfortunately, the approach is inefficient, and much of the toxic residue is left in the water that is discharged into a local river. The amount of toxic discharge exceeds the legal, allowable amounts, and the company is faced with substantial, ongoing environmental fines. The environmental violations are also drawing unfavorable public reaction, and sales are being affected. A lawsuit is also impending, which could prove to be quite costly. Management is now considering the installation of a zero-discharge, closed-loop system to treat the wastewater. The proposed closed-loop system would not only purify the wastewater, but also produce cleaner water than that currently being…JCL Inc. is a major chip manufacturing firm that sells its products to computer manufacturers like Dell, Gateway, and others. In simplified terms, chip making at JCL Inc. involves three basic operations: depositing, patterning, and etching. • Depositing: Using chemical vapor deposition (CVD) technology, an insulating material is deposited on the wafer surface, forming a thin layer of solid material on the chip. • Patterning: Photolithography projects a microscopic circuit pattern on the wafer surface, which has a light-sensitive chemical like the emulsion on photographic film. It is repeated many times as each layer of the chip is built. • Etching: Etching removes selected material from the chip surface to create the device structures. Table 7.4 lists the required processing times and setup times at each of the steps. There is unlimited space for buffer inventory between these steps. Assume that the unit of production is a wafer, from which individual chips are cut at a later stage.a.…Polaris Industries wishes to purchase a multiple-use in-plan ”road test” simulator that can be used for ATVs, motorcycles, and snowmobiles. It takes digital data from relatively short drives on a desired surface - from smooth to exceptionally harsh - and simulates the ride over and over while the vehicle is mounted to a test stand under load. It can run continuously if desired and provides opportunities to redesign in areas of poor reliability. It costs $128,000 and its market value decreases 30% each year. Operating costs are modest; however, maintenance costs can be significant due to the rugged use. O&M in the first year is expected to be 10,000, increasing 25% each subsequent year. MARR is 15%. What is the optimum replacement interval? Show screen shots of any formulas used in Excel.
- Harrington Manufacturing Inc. began operation 5 years ago producing the probo, a new type of instrument it hoped to sell to doctors, dentist, and hospitals. The demand for probos far exceeded initial expectations, and the company was unable to produce enough probos to meet that demand. Harrington was manufacturing probos on equipment built at the start of its operations, but it needed more efficient equipment to meet demand. The company management decided to design and build the equipment, because no equipment currently available on the market was suitable for producing probos. In 2021, a section of the plant was devoted to development of the new equipment and a special staff of personnel was hired. Within six months, a machine was developed at a cost of $170,000that increased production and reduced labor cost substantially. Sparked by the success the new machine, the company built three more machines of the same type at a cost of $80,000 each. Required: In addition to satisfying a…Pronghorn Company manufactures equipment. Pronghorn’s products range from simple automated machinery to complex systems containing numerous components. Unit selling prices range from $200,000 to $1,500,000 and are quoted inclusive of installation. The installation process does not involve changes to the features of the equipment and does not require proprietary information about the equipment in order for the installed equipment to perform to specifications. Pronghorn has the following arrangement with Winkerbean Inc. ● Winkerbean purchases equipment from Pronghorn for a price of $1,070,000 and contracts with Pronghorn to install the equipment. Pronghorn charges the same price for the equipment irrespective of whether it does the installation or not. The cost of the equipment is $599,000. ● Winkerbean is obligated to pay Pronghorn the $1,070,000 upon the delivery and installation of the equipment. Pronghorn delivers the equipment on June 1, 2020, and completes the…Playthings, a toy manufacturer specializing in toys for toddlers, is considering switching to a JIT manufacturing process. The CEO has been talking with the production consultants, who tell her that a new philosophy must be embraced: If a defective part of an out-of-control process is detected, no more units should be made until the process is corrected. The consultants estimate that the production process may occasionally be shut down anywhere from 30 minutes to 7 hours. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of such a system.
- An online virus-scan service provider, Whispering, is expanding its offerings to include an optimizing service to users-it can scan the consumer's hard drive for duplicate files, suggest more efficient ways to save or archive photos and movies, and much more. The problem is that the company's own cost information has been lost-not due to a virus but due to human error. Charlee, the office manager, is trying to recreate some of the information to use in pricing Whispering's newest optimizing service. Here is what she was able to dig up: Known Information for Virus-ScanService Selling price $30 per scan Gross margin % 50 % Costs of Optimizing Service Labor cost $5 per scan MOH cost (includes software, utilities, etc.) $25 per scan (a) For Whispering's virus-scan service, calculate the current cost-plus markup percentage (based on service cost rather than full cost, since the selling and administrative expense information has been lost). (Round answer to O decimal places, e.g. 15%.)…Ashley Technology Inc. manufactures a scrambling device for cellular telephones. The device's main component is a delicate part, CT140.

Required: 1. Compute the total productivity ratios for 2018 and 2019.California Circuits Company (3C) manufactures a variety of components. Its Valley plant specializes in two electronic components used in circuit boards. These components serve the same function and perform equally well. The difference in the two products is the raw material. The XL-D chip is the older of the two components and is made with a metal that requires a wash prior to assembly. Originally, the plant released the wastewater directly into a local river. Several years ago, the company was ordered to treat the wastewater before its release, and it installed relatively expensive equipment. While the equipment is fully depreciated, annual operating expenses of $260,000 are still incurred for wastewater treatment. Two years ago, company scientists developed an alloy with all of the properties of the raw materials used in XL-D that generates no wastewater. Some prototype components using the new material were produced and tested and found to be indistinguishable from the old…
- Richins Company is considering the acquisition of a computerized manufacturing system. The new system has a built in quality function that increases the control over product specifications. An alarm sounds whenever the product falls outside the programmed specifications. An operator can then make some adjustments on the spot to restore the desired product quality. The system is expected to decrease the number of units scrapped because of poor quality. The system is also expected to decrease the amount of labor inputs needed. The production manager is pushing for the aquisition because he believes that productivity will be greatly enhanced - particularly when it comes to labor and material inputs. Output and input data follow. The data for the computerized system are projections. Current System Computerized System Output (units)…Culver Company manufactures equipment.
