Ingles Corporation is a manufacturer of tables sold to schools, restaurants, hotels, and other institutions. The table tops are manufactured by Ingles, but the table legs are purchased from an outside supplier. The Assembly Department takes a manufactured table top and attaches the four purchased table legs. It takes 16 minutes of labor to assemble a table. The company follows a policy of producing enough tables to ensure that 40 percent of next month's sales are in the finished goods inventory. Ingles also purchases sufficient materials to ensure that materials inventory is 60 percent of the following month's scheduled production. Ingles's sales budget in units for the next quarter is as follows: July 2,450 August 2,900 September 2,100 Ingles's ending inventories in units for July 31 are as follows: Finished goods 1,900 Materials (legs) 4,000

Elliott, Inc., has four salaried clerks to process purchase orders. Each clerk is paid a salary of 25,750 and is capable of processing as many as 6,500 purchase orders per year. Each clerk uses a PC and laser printer in processing orders. Time available on each PC system is sufficient to process 6,500 orders per year. The cost of each PC system is 1,100 per year. In addition to the salaries, Elliott spends 27,560 for forms, postage, and other supplies (assuming 26,000 purchase orders are processed). During the year, 25,350 orders were processed. Required: 1. Classify the resources associated with purchasing as (1) flexible or (2) committed. 2. Compute the total activity availability, and break this into activity usage and unused activity. 3. Calculate the total cost of resources supplied (activity cost), and break this into the cost of activity used and the cost of unused activity. 4. (a) Suppose that a large special order will cause an additional 500 purchase orders. What purchasing costs are relevant? By how much will purchasing costs increase if the order is accepted? (b) Suppose that the special order causes 700 additional purchase orders. How will your answer to (a) change?
Vollmer Manufacturing makes three components for sale to refrigeration companies. The components are processed on two machines: a shaper and a grinder. The times (in minutes) required on each machine are as follows: The shaper is available for 120 hours, and the grinder for 110 hours. No more than 200 units of component 3 can be sold, but up to 1,000 units of each of the other components can be sold. In fact, the company already has orders for 600 units of component 1 that must be satisfied. The profit contributions for components 1, 2, and 3 are 8, 6, and 9, respectively. a. Formulate and solve for the recommended production quantities. b. What are the objective coefficient ranges for the three components? Interpret these ranges for company management. c. What are the right-hand-side ranges? Interpret these ranges for company management. d. If more time could be made available on the grinder, how much would it be worth? e. If more units of component 3 can be sold by reducing the sales price by 4, should the company reduce the price?
Taylor Company produces two industrial cleansers that use the same liquid chemical input: Pocolimpio and Maslimpio. Pocolimpio uses two quarts of the chemical for every unit produced, and Maslimpio uses five quarts. Currently, Taylor has 6,000 quarts of the material in inventory. All of the material is imported. For the coming year, Taylor plans to import 6,000 quarts to produce 1,000 units of Pocolimpio and 2,000 units of Maslimpio. The detail of each products unit contribution margin is as follows: Taylor Company has received word that the source of the material has been shut down by embargo. Consequently, the company will not be able to import the 6,000 quarts it planned to use in the coming years production. There is no other source of the material. Required: 1. Compute the total contribution margin that the company would earn if it could import the 6,000 quarts of the material. 2. Determine the optimal usage of the companys inventory of 6,000 quarts of the material. Compute the total contribution margin for the product mix that you recommend. 3. Assume that Pocolimpio uses three direct labor hours for every unit produced and that Maslimpio uses two hours. A total of 6,000 direct labor hours is available for the coming year. a. Formulate the linear programming problem faced by Taylor Company. To do so, you must derive mathematical expressions for the objective function and for the materials and labor constraints. b. Solve the linear programming problem using the graphical approach. c. Compute the total contribution margin produced by the optimal mix.

Good-Brains Company sells kitchen supplies and housewares. Lava stone is used in production of mortars and pestles used in the making of guacamole and is purchased from external suppliers. Each year, 8,000 pounds of Lava stones are used; it is used evenly at the rate of 30 pounds per day. However, some days, as many as 35 pounds are used. It takes Good-Brains 5 days from the time of order to the time of arrival of the order and is currently purchased in lots of 500 pounds. It costs Good-Brains GH¢5 to place the order, and carrying cost is GH¢2 per pound per year. Calculate the total annual inventory cost Calculate the economic order quantity (EOQ) and the total annual inventory cost using the EOQ policy How much is saved per year using the EOQ verses an order size of 500 pounds?

Johnston Chemical Company manufactures a wide variety of industrial chemicals and adhesives. It purchases much of its raw material in bulk from other chemical companies. One chemical, T-Bar, is prepared inone of Johnston’s own plants. T-Bar is shipped to other Johnston plants at a specified internal price.The Johnston adhesive plant requires 10,000 barrels of T-Bar per month and can purchase it from anoutside supplier for $150 per barrel. Johnston’s T-Bar unit has a capacity of 20,000 barrels per month and ispresently selling that amount to outside buyers at $165 per barrel. The difference between the T-Bar unit’sprice of $165 and the outside firm’s T-Bar price of $150 is due to short-term pricing strategy only; thematerials are equivalent in quality and functionality. The T-Bar unit’s selling cost is $5 per barrel, and itsvariable cost of manufacturing is $90 per barrel.Required1. From the standpoint of the company as a whole, should the adhesive unit purchase T-Bar inside or outside…
