11. There are two logistics network systems. Company JYZ is currently applying system 1 for the distribution and warehousing of its raw materials. In system 1, the raw materials are shipped from suppliers to the warehouse, where sorting is implemented. The materials are then shipped from the warehouse to the customers. JYZ is now thinking of implementing system 2, where raw materials are shipped from suppliers directly to the customers. The costs of both systems are provided below (per quarter). The cost formula is y = a + x(b₁ + b₂ + b3), where bbb3 are the unit cost for handling, logistics, and sorting. System 1 System 2 Fixed cost $2000 $1000 Variable cost Variable cost (handling per unit) (logistics per unit) $0.02 $0.01 $0.01 $0.05 Variable cost (Sorting per unit) $0.03 $0.01 y=a+b(x1+x2 + x3) a. What is the breakeven point for the two systems to have identical total cost? b. The total number of units of JYZ is 90,000. Given the total unit 90,000, do you think it will be worth it if company JYZ switches from system 1 to system 2?

Activity-Based Supplier Costing Clearsound uses Alpha Electronics and La Paz Company to buy two electronic components used in the manufacture of its cell phones: Component 125X and Component 30Y. Consider two activities: testing components and reordering components. After the two components are inserted, testing is done to ensure that the two components in the phones are working properly. Reordering occurs because one or both of the components have failed the test and it is necessary to replenish component inventories. Activity cost information and other data needed for supplier costing are as follows: I. Activity Costs Caused by Suppliers (testing failures and reordering as a result) Activity Costs Testing components $1,200,000 Reordering components 300,000 II.
