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?

Chadwick Shoe Co. produces and sells an e xcellent-quality walking shoe. After production, the shoes are distributed to 20 warehouses around the country. Each warehouse services approximately 100 stores in its region. Chadwick uses an EOQ model to determine the number of pairs of shoes to order for each warehouse from the factory. Annual demand for Warehouse OR2 is approximately 120,000 pairs of shoes. The ordering cost is $250 per order. The annual carrying cost of a pair of shoes is $2.40 per pair. Q. Assume each month consists of approximately 4 weeks. If it takes 1 week to receive an order, at what point should warehouse OR2 reorder shoes?
Carlton’s Kitchens makes two types of pasta makers: Strands and Shapes. The company expects to manufacture 70,000 units of Strands, which has a per-unit direct material cost of $10 and a per-unit direct labor cost of $60. It also expects to manufacture 30,000 units of Shapes, which has a per-unit material cost of $15 and a per-unit direct labor cost of $40. It is estimatedthat Strands will use 140,000 machine hours and Shapes will require 60,000 machine hours. Historically, the company has used the traditional allocation method and applied overhead at a rate of $21 per machine hour. It was determined that there were three cost pools, and the overhead for each cost pool is shown: A. What is the per-unit cost for each product under the traditional allocation method?B. What is the per-unit cost for each product under ABC costing?

Quality Clothing, Inc., produces skorts and jumper uniforms for school children. In the process of cutting out the cloth pieces for each product, a certain amount of scrap cloth is produced. Quality has been selling this cloth scrap to Jorge's Scrap Warehouse for $3.15 per pound. Last year, the company sold 39,000 lb. of scrap, which would be enough to make 9,750 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 $94,000 per year for the lease of the packaging equipment and Quality estimates it could produce and sell 9,750 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…
