### Product Structure Analysis

#### Diagram Explanation

The diagram provided represents a product structure for item A and its sub-components. It is a hierarchical breakdown indicating how the final product, A, is assembled from various subcomponents B, C, D, E, and F.

Here is a detailed breakdown of the diagram:

1. **A**: The final product (top-level component).
2. **B (1)**: One unit of component B is required for product A.
- **D (2)**: Two units of component D are required for product B.
- **E (1)**: One unit of component E is required for product B.
- **F (2)**: Two units of component F are required for product B.
3. **C (1)**: One unit of component C is required for product A.
- **D (1)**: One unit of component D is required for component C.
- **F (1)**: One unit of component F is required for component C.

#### Question Analysis

**Question**: If the demand for product A is 50 units, how many units of component D will be needed?

**Answer Choices**:
- A. 200
- B. 300
- C. 50
- D. 100
- E. 150

To determine the total number of units of component D needed, we analyze its hierarchy:

- From **component B**:
- Each unit of B needs 2 units of D.
- Hence, for 1 unit of A, $B$ needs $2 \text{ units of } D$.
- For 50 units of A, $B$ needs $50 \times 2 = 100 \text { units of } D$.

- From **component C**:
- Each unit of C needs 1 unit of D.
- Hence, for one unit of A, $C$ needs $1 \text{ unit of } D$.
- For 50 units of A, $C$ needs $50 \times 1 = 50 \text { units of } D$.

Adding both demands together:
- Total units of D needed = $100 \,\text{units}$ (from B) + $50\, \text{units}$ (from C) = $150 \, \text{units}$

DBS is also expecting the demand for its top-of-the range devices to increase further from the next year. Given the increase in annual requirement, the production manager is contemplating to start manufacturing the special components in-house to save costs rather than sourcing them from outside. Given the current purchase price of $9000 per unit, what will the average annual requirement need to be in order to justify making the components in-house if the variable cost of making is $6750 per unit and an upfront fixed cost of $55,000,000 is needed to procure the necessary plant and equipment? However, in the event that the expected increase in demand does not materialize and the demand is actually forecast to drop to 20,000 units next year, then what will be the maximum price per unit that DBS would be willing to pay to the supplier in order to continue buying from them? Going forward, if it is found to be a better decision to make the components in-house, DBS will then need to…
Prevar Corporation currently purchases components from one of its suppliers. The current purchase price is $1500 per component, with annual purchase volume of 750 units. The ops manager believes that this component could be made inhouse with some minor modifications to the current factory set up. Fixed cost for dedicating a line for this component is estimated at $50,000. Raw materials for the component is estimated at $900, overhead at $200 and it would take 10 hours of labor (at $20 per hour) to produce each component.

At Fraser engineering. Erix is trying to decide whether to purchase a certain part to to have it produced internally. Internal production could use either of two processes. One would entail a variable cost per unit of $17, and an annual fixed cost of $240,000. Three vendors are willing to provide the part. Vendor A has a price of $20 per-unit for any volume up to 30,000 units Vendor B has a price of $22 per-unit for demand of 1,000 units or less, and $18 per-unit for larger quantities. Vendor C offers a price of $21 per-unit for the first 1,000 units, and $19 for each additional unit. What is the correct formula to use to compare these options? Which options would be best for: I. 10,000 units? ii. 20,000 units? iii. 100,000 units? What is the value in considering these options across three very different demand values ranging from 10,000 to 100,000 units?
