The ABC Company makes two products that can be produced on two different production lines. Both products have their lowest production costs when produced on the more modern of the two production lines. However, the modern production line does not have the capacity to handle the minimum production requirement. As a result, some production will have to be routed to the older production line. The following data show the production requirements, production line capacities, and production costs: Production cost/unit Old Modern Minimum Production Product Line Line requirements 1 P3.00 P5.00 500 units 2 P 2.50 P 4.00 700 units Production Line Capacities 800 600 How many units of product 2 is the maximum production requirement wherein the shadow price is yalid?

Sprocket manufacturing. The manager of this production firm is faced with a potential problem: shortages in the supply of a vital gear sprocket. He is considering the development of an in-house capability to make the sprockets, knowing that the firm needs 35,000 such sprockets each year. If the firm elects to make the sprockets internally, then it must select one of the three possible production processes. Each has different costs, as shown in Table 10.17. Adopting a manual process may lead to union problems. The manager estimates the probability of these problems as 25%, and knows that if they do occur, then the variable cost will increase by $0.50 per sprocket. Further, if the semi-automatic or fully automatic option is selected, then additional training of personnel will be required. The amount and therefore the cost of training are uncertain. For the semi-automatic process, the fixed cost of basic training will add $15,000. However, there is a 20% chance the workers will need extra…

Metro has initiated discussions on attracting rail service. A depot would need to be constructed, which would require $2.5million in land and $7.5 million in construction costs. Annual operating and maintenance costs (O&M) for the facility would be $150,000, and personnel costs would be an additional $110,000. Other assorted costs would be born by the railroad and federal authorities. Annual benefits (B) of the rail service are estimated as listed: $120,000 for Railroad annual payments, $25,000 for Rail tax charged to passengers, $20,000 for Convenience benefits to local residents, and $12,000 for Additional tourism dollars for Metro. Apply the B-C ratio method, with a MARR of 8% per year and 20 year study period, to determine if the rail service should be established. a. BC ratio=2.12, good project b. BC ratio=-1.76, good project c. BC ratio=1.69, good project d. BC ratio=0.14, not good project
Small City currently has 1,020,000 square feet of office space, of which 765,000 square feet is occupied by 3,000 employees who are mainly involved in professional services such as finance, insurance, and real estate. Small City’s economy has been fairly strong in recent years, but employment growth is expected to be somewhat lower during the next few years, with projections of an increase of just 130 additional employees per year for the next three years. The amount of space per employee is expected to remain the same. However, a new 153,000 square foot office building was started before the recession and its space is expected to become available at the end of the current year (one year from now). No more space is expected to become available after that for quite some time. Required: a. What is the current occupancy rate for office space in Small City? b. How much office space will be absorbed each year for the next three years? c. What will the occupancy rate be at the end of each…
