Question 4 Loh Gear Bikes could sell its bicycles to retailers either assembled or unassembled. The cost of an unassembled bike is as follows. Direct materials $150 Direct labor 70 Variable overhead (70% of direct labor) 49 Fixed overhead (30% of direct labor) 21 The unassembled bikes are sold to retailers at $400 each. Loh Gear currently has unused productive capacity that is expected to continue indefinitely; management has concluded that some of this capacity can be used to assemble the bikes and sell them at $440 each. Assembling the bikes will increase direct materials by $10 per biked, and direct labor by $10 per bike. Additional variable overhead will be incurred at the normal rates, but there will be no additional fixed overhead as a result of assembling the bikes. Instructions (a) Prepare an incremental analysis for the sell-or-process-further decision. (b) Should Loh Gear sell or process further? Why or why not?

The Westfall Company has a contract to produce 10,000 garden hoses for a large discount chain. Westfall has four different machines that can produce this kind of hose. Because these machines are from different manufacturers and use different technologies, their specifications are not the same. Machine 1 2 3 4 Fixed Cost to Set Up $750 $500 $1000 $300 Variable Cost Per Hose $1.25 $1.50 $1.00 $2.00 Capacity (units) 6000 7500 4000 5000 If machine 2 is used, machine 3 must be used also. However, if machine 3 is used, machine 2 need NOT be used. The company wants to minimize the total cost of fulfill the contract. Please formulate a mixed integer linear programming problem to decide which machine(s) to use and how many garden hoses to produce on each machine if the machine is used. The correct set of decision variables is:

not graded Sell or Process FurtherJensen Manufacturing Company makes a partially completed assembly unit that it sells for $44 per unit. Normally, 38,000 units are sold each year. Variable unit cost data on the assembly are as follows: Direct material $10 Direct labor 8 Variable manufacturing overhead 4 The company is now using only 70% of its normal capacity; it could fully use its normal capacity by processing the assembly further and selling it for $51 per unit. If the company does this, material and labor costs will each increase by $2 per unit and variable overhead will go up by $1 per unit. Fixed costs will increase from the current level of $160,000 to $225,000. Prepare an analysis showing whether Jensen should process the assemblies further.Use a negative sign with answer to only indicate a loss from processing assemblies further; otherwise do not use negative signs with your answers.
