Kala is one of the top manufacturer of ukuleles. The manufacturer produces three different types of ukuleles. Its Concert produce $6 in profit per unit; its Soprano produce $4 in profit per unit; and its Tenor produce $8 in profit per unit. Each type of ukulele passes through three manufacturing stages as a part of the entire production process. The three process centers of modelling, curing and assembly has an available production time per day of 12 hours, 14 hours and 16 hours, respectively. To produce one hundred units of Concert, the time required for the process of modelling, curing and assembly is 2 hours, 3 hours and 2 hours, respectively. To produce one hundred units of Soprano, 2 hours of modelling, 2 hours of curing and 1 hour of assembly is required. Whereas 4 hours of modelling, 2 hours of curing and 2 hours of assembly is required to produce one hundred units of Tenor. Sensitivity report of the problem is given as below where C = unit of Concert to be produced each day, S…
Embassy Motorcycles (EM) manufactures two lightweight motorcycles designed for easy handling and safety. The EZ-Rider model has a new engine and a low profile that make it easy to balance. The Lady-Sport model is slightly larger, uses a more traditional engine, and is specifically designed to appeal to women riders. Embassy produces the engines for both models at its Des Moines, Iowa, plant. Each EZ-Rider engine requires 6 hours of
The Petoskey Potato Chip Company produces 3 varieties of gourmet potato chip. The varieties and average daily demand are given below: Bar-B-Que: 325 cases/day Sour Cream & Onion: 215 cases/day Classic Cut: 360 ases/day The company runs 24 hours/day and can produce 1,300 cases of potato chips per day. Each case of potato chip costs $20 to produce and Petoskey assumes 18% of this cost as the annual holding cost. It takes Petoskey 5 hours to setup for production of a different variety at a cost of $715. Calculate the minimum cost cycle time in days. Answer: 25.2 How is this calculated?
ABC Apple Juice Company produces and markets fresh fruit juice. During the apple harvest season, trucks bring apples from the fields to the process plant during a workday that runs long hours from 7AM. On peak days, approximately 3,000 kg of apples are trucked in per hour. Trucks dump their contents in a holding bin with a storage capacity of 9,000 kg. When the bin is full, incoming trucks must wait until it has sufficient available space. A conveyor moves apples from bin to the processing plant. The plant is configured to process apples at the rate of 2,000 kg per hour. Trucks arrive uniformly between 7:00AM to 5:00PM. Each truck holds about 1,000 kg of apples. The truck drivers are paid at the rate of $10 per hour. As ABC makes fresh juice, it does not store apples. Processing plant starts at 10:00AM and ends when all the apples received during the day have been processed. It takes 2 hours to clean the empty plant that must be kept ready for the next day production. Trucks are owned…
33 White & Becker Tools (W&B) requires 2,000 elec- tric motors next month for its product line of weed trimmers. Each motor is composed of three com- ponents: a coil, a shaft, and housing. W&B has the capability to produce these components or purchase them from an outside vendor. The costs of produc- ing them and purchasing them are shown in the following table. COMPONENT Coil Shaft Housing DEPART- MENT PRODUCTION COST PER UNIT Fabrication 0.5 Molding 0.4 Inspection 0.2 $2.60 $1.80 $1.40 The components that are produced by W&B must pass through three departments: fabrication, molding, and inspection.

Bellevue Chemicals had beginning work-in-process inventory of $253,885 on March 1. Of this amount, $ 102,205 was the cost of direct materials and $151,680 was the cost of conversion. The 24, 300 units in the beginning inventory were 45 percent complete with respect to direct materials and 65 percent complete with respect to conversion costs. During March, 58, 450 units were transferred out and 15,500 remained in ending inventory. The units in ending inventory were 70 percent complete with respect to direct materials and 15 percent complete with respect to conversion costs. Costs incurred during March amounted to $944, 225 for direct materials and $ 1,051,665 for conversion. a-1. Compute the cost of goods transferred out and the cost of ending inventory for March using the FIFO method. a-2. Is the ending inventory higher or lower under the weighted - average method compared to FIFO?
Beeson Co. is experiencing a decrease in sales and operating income for the fiscal year ending December 31st. Julia Faure, controller of Beeson Co., has suggested that all orders received before the end of the fiscal year be shipped by midnight, December 31st even if shipping department must work overtime. Since Beeson Co. ships all merchandise FOB shipping point, it would record all such shipments as sales for the year ending December 31st, thereby offsetting some of the decreases in sales and operating income.Discuss whether Julia Faure is behaving in a professional manner and what are the implications of her actions?
Describe the steps that are used to resolve constraint issues.
