The demand for solvent, one of numerous products manufactured by Logan Industries Inc., has dropped sharply because of recent competition from a similar product. The company’s chemists are currently completing tests of various new formulas, and it is anticipated that the manufacture of a superior product can be started on November 1, one month in the future. No changes will be needed in the present production facilities to manufacture the new product because only the mixture of the various materials will be changed. The controller has been asked by the president of the company for advice on whether to continue production during October or to suspend the manufacture of solvent until November 1.

Eastern Auto Parts Company manufactures replacement parts for automobile repair. The company recently installed a flexible manufacturing system, which has significantly changed the production pro-cess. The installation of the new FMS was not anticipated when the current year’s budget and cost struc-ture were developed. The installation of the new equipment was hastened by several major breakdowns in the company’s old production machinery. The new equipment was very expensive, but management expects it to cut the labor time required by a substantial amount. Management also expects the new equipment to allow a reduction in direct-material waste. On the negative side, the FMS requires a more highly skilled labor force to operate it than the company’s old equipment. The following cost variance report was prepared for the month of July, the first full month after the equipment was installed.

The Robotics Manufacturing Company operates an equipment repair business where emergency jobs arrive randomly at the rate of three jobs per 8-hour day. The company's repair facility is a single-server system operated by a repair technician. The service time varies, with a mean repair time of 2 hours and a standard deviation of 1.5 hours. The company's cost of the repair operation is $28 per hour. In the economic analysis of the waiting line system, Robotics uses $35 per hour cost for customers waiting during the repair process. a. What are the arrival rate and service rate in jobs per hour? b. The company is considering purchasing a computer-based equipment repair system that would enable a constant repair time of 2 hours. For practical purposes, the standard deviation is 0. Because of the computer-based system, the company's cost of the new operation would be $32 per hour. The firm's director of operations rejected the request for the new system because the hourly cost $4 higher and…
Jireh Limited also manufactures prefab components for the housing industry. They have just been offered a new four year contract to supply a component, subject to them meeting certain quality requirements set by GREDA Ghana. The production manager is concerned that the current machine, which has been fully depreciated, will not be able to meet the stringent quality controls that will be required because the technology is obsolete, and the machine is unreliable. The company currently spends £50,000 per year to maintain and operate this machine which has no secondhand market value. On the basis of the production managerʼs recommendation, management has decided to replace the current machine. It is estimated that the replacement machine will cost £1 million with a four-year useful life. The companyʼs depreciation policy is to use a 20% reducing balance method over the life of the asset. As part of the purchase agreement for the new machine, the suppliers are offering a special maintenance…

Carrie Construction (CC) is a company specializing in building airport runways and major highways. As a part of its business, it receives supplies of aggregate (stone, sand, gravel, and so on) from two suppliers: Austin Aggregate and Granger Materials. The CC purchasing department has a preference for buying from Granger based on price but occasionally has to order from Austin when Granger cannot fill the order. Carrie Construction has recently had problems with the quality and the timeliness of deliveries. When a supplier delivers a load to CC, it goes through an initial inspection to assure it meets specification. If the load fails the initial inspection, it goes through a secondary inspection to determine the exact issue. Almost always, the issue can be resolved and the load can be used. The initial inspection costs $3,000 per load. A secondary inspection, which is more thorough, costs $15,000 per load. If a delivery is delayed, Carrie has to hire temporary workers or pay overtime…
Michelin is considering going “lights out” in the mixing area of the business that operates 24/7. Currently, personnel with a loaded cost of $600,000 per year are used to manually weigh real rubber, synthetic rubber, carbon black, oils, and other components prior to manual insertion in a Banbary mixer that provides a homogeneous blend of rubber for making tires (rubber products). New technology is available that has the reliability and consistency desired to equal or exceed the quality of blend now achieved manually. It requires an investment of $2.5 million, with $110,000 per year operational costs and will replace all of the manual effort described above. The planning horizon is 8 years and there will be a $300,000 salvage value at that time for the new technology. The income-tax rate is 25% and the after-tax MARR is 10%. Determine the annual cost of purchasing the new technology and the EUAC of the two scenarios
