Expedition Outfitters manufactures a variety of special clothing for hiking, skiing and mountaineering. They have decided to start production of two new parkas designed for use in extremely coldweather: Mount Everest and Rocky Mountain. Their manufacturing plant has 120 hours of cutting time and 120 hours of sewing time available to produce these two parkas. Each Mount Everestparka requires 30 minutes of cutting time and 45 minutes of sewing time, and each Rocky Mountain parka requires 20 minutes of cutting and 15 minutes of sewing. The cost of labor and material is$150 for each Mount Everest parka and $50 for each Rocky Mountain parka, and the average prices in the company's mail order catalog are $250 for the Mount Everest parka and $200 for theRocky Mountain parka. As management considers that Mount Everest is a unique coat that will improve the company's image, they specified that the production of this model should be at least20% of the total production. Assuming that Expedition Outfitters can sell all the coats of each type it can produce, how many units of each model should it manufacture to maximize the totalcontribution to profits?

ardin Outfitters has a capacity to produce 16,500 of their special arctic tents per year. The company is currently producing and selling 5,000 tents per year at a selling price of $1,350 per tent. The cost of producing and selling one tent follows: Variable manufacturing costs $ 530 Fixed manufacturing costs 135 Variable selling and administrative costs 125 Fixed selling and administrative costs 95 Total costs $ 885 The company has received a special order for 1,400 tents at a price of $690 per tent from Chipman Outdoor Center. It will not have to pay any sales commission on the special order, so the variable selling and administrative costs would be only $54 per tent. The special order would have no effect on total fixed costs. The company has rejected the offer based on the following computations: Selling price per case $ 690 Variable manufacturing costs 530 Fixed manufacturing costs 135 Variable selling and administrative costs 54 Fixed selling and…
Garden Labs produces a drug used for the treatment of arthritis. The drug is produced in batches. Chemicals costing $50,000 are mixed and heated, then a unique separation process extracts the drug from the mixture. A batch yields a total of 3,000 gallons of the chemicals. The first 2,500 gallons are sold for human use while the last 500 gallons, which contain impurities, are sold to veterinarians. The costs of mixing, heating, and extracting the drug amount to $155,000 per batch. The output sold for human use is pasteurized at a total cost of $130,000 and is sold for $600 per gallon. The product sold to veterinarians is irradiated at a cost of $20 per gallon and is sold for $450 per gallon. In March, Garden, which had no opening inventory, processed one batch of chemicals. It sold 2,000 gallons of product for human use and 300 gallons of the veterinarian product. Garden uses the net realizable value method for allocating joint production costs. Q. Suppose that the separation process…
Current Attempt in Progress Oriole Hollow Resort has ordered 21 rotomolded kayaks from Current Designs. Each kayak will be formed in the rotomolded oven, cooled, and then have the excess plastic trimmed away. Then, the hatches, seat, ropes, and bungees will be attached to the kayak. Dave Thill, the kayak factory manager, knows that manufacturing each kayak requires 50 pounds of polyethylene powder and a finishing kit (rope, seat, hardware, etc.). The polyethylene powder used in these kayaks costs $1.60 per pound, and the finishing kits cost $169 each. Each kayak will use two kinds of labor: 2 hours of more-skilled type I labor from people who run the oven and trim the plastic, and 3 hours of less-skilled type II labor from people who attach the hatches and seat and other hardware. The type I employees are paid $15 per hour, and the type II employees are paid $12 per hour. For purposes of this problem, assume that overhead is applied to all jobs at a rate of 150% of direct labor costs.…
George Caloz & Frères, located in Grenchen, Switzerland, makes luxury custom watches in small lots. One of the company’s products, a platinum diving watch, goes through an etching process. The company has recorded etching costs as follows over the last six weeks: Week Units Total Etching Cost 1 13 $ 24 2 11 21 3 16 31 4 15 25 5 18 31 6 18 32 91 $ 164 For planning purposes, management would like to know the variable etching cost per unit and the total fixed etching cost per week. 2-a. Using the least-squares regression method, estimate the variable etching cost per unit and the total fixed etching cost per week. 2-b. Express these estimates in the form Y = a + bX.
Rough Stuff makes 2 products: khaki shorts and khaki pants for men. Each product passes through the cutting machine area, which is the chief constraint during production. Khaki shorts take 15 minutes on the cutting machine and have a contribution margin per pair of shorts of $16. Khaki pants take 24 minutes on the cutting machine and have a contribution margin per pair of pants of $32. If it is assumed that Rough Stuff has 4,800 hours available on the cutting machine to service a minimum demand for each product of 3,000 units, how much will profits increase if 100 more hours of machine time can be obtained?

Munoz Manufacturing Company makes tents that it sells directly to camping enthusiasts through a mail-order marketing program. The company pays a quality control expert $77,050 per year to inspect completed tents before they are shipped to customers. Assume that the company completed 1,690 tents in January and 1,300 tents in February. For the entire year, the company expects to produce 11,500 tents. If the cost objective is to determine the cost per tent, is the expert’s salary a direct or an indirect cost? How much of the expert’s salary should be allocated to tents produced in January and February?

A furniture company manufactures tables and chairs. A table requires 45 board-feet of wood, and a chair requires 20 board-feet of wood. Wood can be purchased at a cost of $1.90 per board-foot, and 25,000 board-feet of wood are available for purchase. It takes 2.5 hours of skilled labor to manufacture an unfinished table or an unfinished chair. Then 3 more hours of skilled labor will turn an unfinished table into a finished table, and 1.5 more hours of skilled labor will turn an unfinished chair into a finished chair. A total of 4500 hours of skilled labor is available (and have already been paid for). All furniture produced can be sold at the following unit prices: an unfinished table, $180; a finished table, $330; an unfinished chair, $130; and a finished chair, $200. a. Determine how to maximize the company’s profit from manufacturing tables and chairs. b. Use a two-way SolverTable to see how the numbers of unfinished products (both chairs and tables) sold depend on the selling…

Quality Clothing, Inc., produces skorts and jumper uniforms for school children. In the process of cutting out the cloth pleces for each product, a certain amount of scrap cloth is produced. Quality has been selling this cloth scrap to Jorge's Scrap Warehouse for $3.30 p pound. Last year, the company sold 42,000 lb. of scrap, which would be enough to make 10,500 teddy bears that the management of Quality is now interested in producing. Their processes would need some reprogramming, particularly in the cutting and stitching processes, but it would require no additional worker training. However, new packaging would be needed. The total variable cost to produce the teddy bears $3.80. Fixed costs would increase by $93,000 per year for the lease of the packaging equipment and Quality estimates it could produce and sell 10,500 teddy bears per year. Finished teddy bears could be sold for $18.00 each. Calculate the effect on operating Income. Round your answers to the nearest dollar. Sell at…
