Heinrich is a manufacturing engineer with the Miller Company. He has determined the costs of producing a new product to be as follows: Equipment cost: $288,000/year Equipment salvage value at EOY5 = $41,000 Variable cost per unit of production: $14.55 Overhead cost per year: $48,300 If the Miller Company uses a 5-year planning hori- zon and the product can be sold for a unit price of $39.75, how many units must be produced and sold each year to break even?

If during the following year it is predicted that each comedy skit will generate 30 thousand and each musical number 20 thousand, find the maximum income for the year. A television program director must schedule comedy skits and musical numbers for prime-time variety shows. Each comedy skit requires 2 hours of rehearsal time, costs 3000, and brings in 20,000 from the shows sponsors. Each musical number requires 1 hour of rehearsal time, costs 6000, and generates 12,000. If 250 hours are available for rehearsal and 600,000 is budgeted for comedy and music, how many segments of each type should be produced to maximize income? Find the maximum income.
At the beginning of the year a company estimated that 20.000 direct labor hours would be required for the period's estimated level of production. The company also estimated $140 000 of fixed manufacturing overhead cost for the coming period and variable manufacturing overhead of $150 per direct laber-hour Asume that Job X used $200 in direct materials, $280 of drect labor, and 20 direct labor hours. What is the total job cost for Job X" O O 540000 $60.00 SYMUD
Suppose that a firm can produce a part it uses for $520 per unit, with a fixed cost of $25,000. The company has been offered a contract from a supplier that allows it to purchase the part at a cost of $544 per unit, which includes transportation. The key outputs in the model are the difference in these costs and the decision that results in the lower cost. Assume that the production volume is uncertain. Suppose the manufacturer has enough data and information to estimate that the production volume will be normally distributed with a mean of 1,000 and a standard deviation of 85. Use a 100-trial Monte Carlo simulation to find the average cost difference and percent of trials that result in manufacturing or outsourcing as the best decision. Please include table showing both the cost difference and decision for each trial. Please include the Excel worksheet with all the details with your answer.
A plant is introducing time standards in one of its production departments. The department employs 96 workers. The average wage rate in the department is $13/hr, including fringe benefits. The workweek is 40 hr (2000 hr/yr). The average number of batches produced each year by a worker is 50 (1 batch/week), and the average batch size is 1196 parts. When time standards are used, the productivity increase is expected to be 18%. The application speed ratio of the work measurement techniques to be used is 150. The annual salary of each analyst is $51.5,000, including fringe benefits. Determine the annual savings in direct labor cost if the department's workload after standards are introduced is the same as before, meaning that fewer workers will be required.

Find the optimum number of batches (to the nearest whole number) of an item that should be produced annually (in order to minimize cost) if 300,000 units are to be made, it costs $4 to store a unit for one year, and it costs $300 to set up the factory to produce each batch. A. 32 batches B 47 batches C. 34 batches D. 45 batches
Warren decided to choose the lease option that will minimize his total 36-month cost. The difficulty is that Warren is not sure how many miles he will drive ove the next three years. For purposes of this decision he believes it is reasonable to assume that he will drive 12,000 miles per year, 15,000 miles per year, or 18,000 miles per year. With this assumption Warren estimated his total costs for the three lease options. For example, he figures that the Forno Automotive lease will cost him $10,764 if he drives 12,000 miles per year, $12,114 if he drives 15,000 miles per year, or $13,464 if he drives 18,000 miles per year. a. What is the decision, and what is the chance event? The decision is to choose the best lease option The chance event is the number of miles driven v b. Construct a payoff table. Annual Miles Driven Dealer 12,000 15,000 18,000 Forno Automotive Midtown Motors Hopkins Automotive c. Suppose that the probabilities that Warren drives 12,000, 15,000, and 18,000 miles per…
Bruno Fruscalzo decided to start a small production facility in Sydney to sell gelato to the local restaurants. His local milk supplier charges $0.50 per kilogram of milk plus a $15 delivery fee (the $15 fee is independent of the amount ordered). Bruno's holding cost is $0.03 per kilogram per month. He needs 8,250 kilograms of milk per month. Suppose Bruno orders 10,000 kilograms each time. What is his average inventory (in kilograms)? Suppose Bruno orders 6,250 kilograms each time. How many orders does he place with his supplier each year? Note: Round your answer to 1 decimal place. How many kilograms should Bruno order from his supplier with each order to minimize the sum of the ordering and holding costs? If Bruno's storage vessel can hold only 2,000 kilograms of milk, what would be Bruno's annual ordering and holding costs if he orders this amount? If Bruno's storage vessel can hold only 7, 000 kilograms of milk, what would be Bruno's annual ordering and holding costs if he orders…
A mining company exploits two types of minerals, its starting cost is $ 100,000. The cost per kg is $ 100 and $ 150 respectively. For safety, the overall maximum inventory should be 80,000 kg. Product 2 that requires a maximum inventory of $ 2,000,000 invested in warehouse. Consider that the monthly demand is 40,000 and 30,000 units respectively. The weekly cost of the inventory rate is 10% for the average inventory. The total inventory turnover policy must be greater than or equal to 50 (remember that inventory turnover is defined as the annual demand for all items expressed in dollars, divided by the average total inventory investment). Formulate the problem as a mathematical model that minimizes the total annual cost.
Motorking Corporation, a market leader in the production of specialized engine additives, is considering introducing a new "gas extender" product. This product is added to an automobile’s gasoline to extend mileage and reduce exhaust emissions. Motorking's manufacturing facility can produce 50,000 cases of the new product per year with a set-up cost of $100,000. The average variable cost per case would be $5. Large orders, (i.e., above 50,000 cases) will be subcontracted to a local refining company. Motorking has signed a secrecy agreement with the vendor that guards the basic process. The variable cost per case, if the new product is produced outside, is $9. Whether the product is manufactured by Motorking or by the vendor, there is a $12 per case cost for marketing and overhead. Motorking's production manager is considering three production levels for the new product: 50,000 cases, 75,000 cases, and 100,000 cases. The level of sales will depend on the state of the economy.

A hurricane has been predicted to make landfall in Louisiana. The counties that lie within the path of the storm along with current population estimates are given in Table 1 below. There are several regional warehouses located in Texas, Alabama and Georgia that have capacity available to lease so that supplies can be prepositioned in advance of the storm. The lease capacity available at each of the warehouses is 100,000 units of MREs (meals ready-to-eat). The cost to lease each warehouse along with the capacity available is displayed in Table 2. The distance (in miles) to ship product to each of the counties from each possible warehouse location is summarized in Table 3. Assume travel cost is proportional to distance traveled. Formulate a mathematical model that will determine which of the warehouses to use to preposition MREs and the amount shipped from each warehouse to each of the counties to assist those who are in need after the storm. Assume that 25% of the population will…
