Burger Office Equipment produces two types of desks, standard and deluxe. Deluxe desks have oak tops and more expensive hardware and require additional time for finishing and polishing. After reviewing the hardware and labor required along with the profit for each model, Burger Office Equipment found the following linear optimization model for profit, where S is the number of standard desks produced and D is the number of deluxe desks produced. Implement the linear optimization model on a spreadsheet and use Solver to find an optimal solution. Interpret the optimal solution, identify the binding constraints, and verify the values of the slack variables. Maximize Profit=240 S+350 D 65 S+45 D≤6000 20 D≤ 800 (Availability of pine) 9 S+18 D≤500 S≥0 and D≥0 (Availability of oak) (Availability of labor) Implement the linear optimization model and find an optimal solution. Interpret the optimal solution. The optimal solution is to produce standard desks and deluxe desks.

Salem Electronics currently produces two products: a programmable calculator and a tape recorder. A recent marketing study indicated that consumers would react favorably to a radio with the Salem brand name. Owner Kenneth Booth was interested in the possibility. Before any commitment was made, however, Kenneth wanted to know what the incremental fixed costs would be and how many radios must be sold to cover these costs. In response, Betty Johnson, the marketing manager, gathered data for the current products to help in projecting overhead costs for the new product. The overhead costs based on 30,000 direct labor hours follow. (The high-low method using direct labor hours as the independent variable was used to determine the fixed and variable costs.) All depreciation. The following activity data were also gathered: Betty was told that a plantwide overhead rate was used to assign overhead costs based on direct labor hours. She was also informed by engineering that if 20,000 radios were produced and sold (her projection based on her marketing study), they would have the same activity data as the recorders (use the same direct labor hours, machine hours, setups, and so on). Engineering also provided the following additional estimates for the proposed product line: Upon receiving these estimates, Betty did some quick calculations and became quite excited. With a selling price of 26 and just 18,000 of additional fixed costs, only 4,500 units had to be sold to break even. Since Betty was confident that 20,000 units could be sold, she was prepared to strongly recommend the new product line. Required: 1. Reproduce Bettys break-even calculation using conventional cost assignments. How much additional profit would be expected under this scenario, assuming that 20,000 radios are sold? 2. Use an activity-based costing approach, and calculate the break-even point and the incremental profit that would be earned on sales of 20,000 units. 3. Explain why the CVP analysis done in Requirement 2 is more accurate than the analysis done in Requirement 1. What recommendation would you make?
Kelson Sporting Equipment, Inc., makes two types of baseball gloves: a regular model and a catchers model. The firm has 900 hours of production time available in its cutting and sewing department, 300 hours available in its finishing department, and 100 hours available in its packaging and shipping department. The production time requirements and the profit contribution per glove are given in the following table: Assuming that the company is interested in maximizing the total profit contribution, answer the following: a. What is the linear programming model for this problem? b. Develop a spreadsheet model and find the optimal solution using Excel Solver. How many of each model should Kelson manufacture? c. What is the total profit contribution Kelson can earn with the optimal production quantities? d. How many hours of production time will be scheduled in each department? e. What is the slack time in each department?
