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 b₁,b2b3 are the unit cost for handling, logistics, and sorting. System 1 System 2 Fixed cost $2000 Variable cost Variable cost Variable cost (handling per unit) (logistics per unit) (Sorting per unit) $0.02 $0.01 $0.03 $0.01 $0.01 $0.05 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…
An operations manager is deciding on the level of automation for a new process. The fixed cost for automation includes the equipment purchase price, installation, and initial spare parts. The variable costs per unit for each level of automation are primarily labor related. Each unit can be sold for $81. As in many cases, you have the default alternative of doing nothing ($0 fixed cost, $0 variable costs). Hint: For these questions, also consider the “Do Nothing” option as a viable option when making your decision. Alternative Fixed Costs Variable Costs per Unit A $100,000 $54 B $272,000 $31 C $560,000 $20 Recommended: graph each alternative with units on the x-axis and $ on the y-axis. Also, include revenue on the chart. Identify the break-even points and points of indifference.
Please explain why the option is correct and why the other options are incorrect

Nutterco, Inc., produces two types of nut butter: peanut butter and cashew butter. Of the two,peanut butter is the more popular. Cashew butter is a specialty line using smaller jars and fewerjars per case. Data concerning the two products follow: Annual overhead costs are listed below. These costs are classified as fixed or variable with respect to the appropriate activity driver. Required:1. Prepare a traditional segmented income statement, using a unit-level overhead rate based ondirect labor hours. Using this approach, determine whether the cashew butter product lineshould be kept or dropped.2. Prepare an activity-based segmented income statement. Repeat the keep-or-drop analysisusing an ABC approach.
The jarvis corporation produces bucket loader assemblies for the tractor industry. The product has a long term life expectancy. Jarvis has a traditional manufacturing and inventory system. Jarvis is considering the installation of a just-in-time inventory system to improve its cost structure. In doing a full study using its manufacturing engineering team as well as consulting with industry JIT experts and the main vendors and suppliers of the components Jarvis uses to manufacture the bucket loader assemblies, the following incremental cost-benefit relevant information is available for analysis: The Jarvis cost of investment capital hurdle rate is 15%. One time cost to rearrange the shop floor to create the manufacturing cell workstations is $275,000. One time cost to retrain the existing workforce for the JIT required skills is $60,000. Anticipated defect reduction is 40%. Currently there is a cost of quality defect assessment listed as $150,000 per year. The setup time for…
The Chopin Company has decided to introduce a new product. The new product can be manufactured by either a computer-assisted manufacturing (CAM) or a labor-intensive production (LIP) system. The manufacturing method will not affect the quality of the product. The estimated manufacturing costs for each of the two methods are as follows. CAM System: Direct Material = $5.0 Direct Labor (DLH) = 0.5 DLH X $12 = $6 Variable Overhead = 0.5DLHx$6 = $3 Fixed Iverhead* = $ 2,440,000 LIP System: Direct Material = $5.6 Direct Labor (DLH) = 0.8 DLH X $9 = $7.2 Variable Overhead = 0.8 DLH X $6 = $4.8 Fixed Overhead* = $1,320,000 *These costs are directly traceable to the new product line. They would not be incurred if the new product were not produced. The company’s marketing research department has recommended an introductory unit sales price of $30. Selling expenses are estimated to be $500,000 annually plus $2 for each unit sold. (Ignore income taxes.) Required: Calculate the estimated…
