K Southeastern Oklahoma State University's business program has the facilities and faculty to handle an enrollment of 2,000 new students per semester. However, in an effort to limit class sizes to a "reasonable" level (under 200, generally), Southeaster's dean, Holly Lutze, placed a ceiling on enrollment of 1,500 new students. Although there was ample demand for business courses last semester, conflicting schedules allowed only 1,420 new students to take business courses. The utilization rate for Southeastern = 71% (enter your response as a percentage rounded to one decimal place). The efficiency rate for Southeastern = % (enter your response as a percentage rounded to one decimal place).

Charles Lackey operates a bakery in Idaho Falls, Idaho. Because of its excellent product and excellent location, demand has increased by 45%in the last year. On far too many occasions, customers have not been able to purchase the bread of their choice. Because of the size of the store, no new ovens can be added. At a staff meeting, one employee suggested ways to load the ovens differently so that more loaves of bread can be baked at one time. This new process will require that the ovens be loaded by hand, requiring additional manpower. This is the only production change that will be made in order to meet the increased demand.The bakery currently makes 1,800 loaves per month. Employees are paid $8 per hour. In addition to the labor cost, Charles also has a constant utility cost per month of $650 and a per loaf ingredient cost of $0.40. After increasing the number of work hours to 928 per month,what is the multifactor productivity =? loaves/dollar (round your response to…

The XYZ company has two plants producing "K Specials". It has the following expected data for the next month's operations. Variable (incremental) costs vary linearly from zero production to maximum capacity production. plant A plant B Max. Capacity, units 1,000 800 Total fixed cost 750,000 480,000 Variable (incremental) Costs Max. Capacity 900,000 800,000 Performance has not been good, so the company expects to receive domestic orders for only 1,200 units next month at a price of 1,400 per unit. How should the production be distributed between the plants for optimum economic operation? A. Plant A should produce 800 units and 400 units for Plant B. B. Plant A should produce 1,000 units and 200 units for Plant B. C. Plant A should produce 700 units and 500 units for Plant B. D. Plant A should produce 900 units and 300 units for Plant B.

The call centre operates eight hours a day (0900-1700) five days a week and is closed on weekends. Call volumes and demand fluctuate, but there is one noticeable peak period between mid October and January inclusive (15 weeks). Records show that the average call numbers during the off-peak period is 250 calls per day, whilst on peak days call numbers average 608 calls per day. The call centre is staffed by a team of 3 permanent staff members. Full time staff can handle up to a maximum of 12 calls per hour each and it has been shown that the full time staff can cope with all the calls during off-peak periods. Temporary staff are engaged for the peak period and, generally, can answer 8 calls per hour. Temporary staff, sourced from a local recruitment agency cost £76.75 per 8 hour day shift inclusive of all agency fees. A specialist IT company has proposed installing an enhanced call handling system which, it is claimed, will increase productivity enabling permanent staff to…

The M-N plant manufactures two different products: M and N. Selling prices and weekly market demands are shown in the following diagram. Each product uses raw materials with costs as shown. The plant has three different machines: A, B, and C. Each performs different tasks and can work on only one unit of material at a time. Resources: A, B, C (one each) Availability: 3,800 min./week Operating expense: $12,000/week Product M $190/unit 120 units/week Machine A Machine C Machine B 15 min./unit A 20 min./unit RM-1 $60/unit Product N $200/unit 80 units/week 15 min./unit B 10 min./unit RM-2 $40/unit B 10 min./unit RM-3 $40/unit Process times for each task are shown in the diagram. Each machine is available 3,800 minutes per week. There are no "Murphys" (major opportunities for the system to foul up). Setup and transfer times are zero. Demand is constant. Operating expenses (including labor) total a constant $12,000 per week. Raw materials are not included in weekly operating expenses. a.…
A company has a factory that is designed so that it is most efi cient (average unit cost is minimized) when producing 15,000 units of output each month. However, it has an absolute maximum output capability of 17,250 units per month, and can produce as little as 7,000 units per month without corporate headquarters shifting production to another plant. If the factory produces 10,925 units in October, what is the capacity utilization rate in October for this factory?
