The Talbot Company uses electrical assemblies to produce an array of small appliances. One of its high cost / high volume assemblies, the XO-01, has an estimated annual demand of 8,000 units. Talbot estimates the cost to place an order is $50, and the holding cost for each assembly is $20 per year. The company operates 250 days per year. The purchasing manager decides that, in order to save purchasing time, orders for the XO-01 will be placed every three months, or four times per year. How much does this approach cost Talbot in total annual holding and ordering costs (instead of Talbot ordering using the EOQ quantity)?

A company manufactures two types of leaf blowers: an electric Turbo model and a gas-powered Tornado model. The company's production plan calls for the production of at least 690 blowers per month. It costs $74 to produce each Turbo model and $111 to manufacture each Tornado model, and the company has at most $63,640 per month to use for production. Find the number of units that should be produced to maximize profit for the company, and the maximum profit, if the profit on each Turbo model is $35 and the profit on each Tornado model is $40. The maximum value is $ by producing integers or decimals.) units of the Turbo model and units of the Tornado model. (Type
EMERGENCY! Production just informed management that one of its five glycol squeezers has been destroyed by a rogue computer virus. Production capability is now only 23000 gallons at most. The squeezer cannot be fixed and IceLess cannot afford a replacement. This breakdown will NOT lower fixed costs. This breakdown will not change variable cost per unit, either. If only 23000 gallons are produced, and the earning target remains $94400 above fixed costs, what price per gallon must now be charged? (show your calculations What is the Contribution Margin Ratio (CMR) if the price is $8.82 per gallon? At a price of $10.95 per gallon, what will be the DOL (assume 23000 gallons are sold , that $94400 above fixed costs is to be earned, and that other costs are as initially given)(show your calculations).

Shawn Pen & Pencil Sets Inc. has fixed costs of $421,400. Its product currently sells for $18 per unit and has variable costs of $8.20 per unit. Mr. Bic, the head of manufacturing, proposes to buy new equipment that will cost $440,000 and drive up fixed costs to $563,500. Although the price will remain at $18 per unit, the increased automation will reduce costs per unit to $5.75. a. Compute the following break-even points: i. Current break-even point ii. Proposed new break-even point b. As a result of Bic's suggestion, will the break-even point go up or down?
For the production of part R-193, two operations are being considered. The capital investment associated with each operation is identical. Operation 1 produces 2,100 parts per hour. After each hour, the tooling must be adjusted by the machine operator. This adjustment takes 15 minutes. The machine operator for Operation 1 is paid $24 per hour (this includes fringe benefits). Operation 2 produces 2,350 parts per hour, but the tooling needs to be adjusted by the operator only once every two hours. This adjustment takes 45 minutes. The machine operator for Operation 2 is paid $13 per hour (this includes fringe benefits). Assume an 8-hour workday. Further assume that all parts produced can be sold for $0.35 each. a. Should Operation 1 or Operation 2 be recommended? b. What is the basic tradeoff in this problem?

You are the marketing manager of the Business Unit (BU) that produces polystyrene (which is an input to making lightweight rigid foam). The current Demand/Supply balance, as measured by the ICIS price, is $800 per ton of polystyrene. The BU has 2 plants and can produce a total of 1800 tons. At full capacity utilization, the BU’s average variable cost equals $1300/t and its average total cost equals $1700/t.Plant 1 has a capacity of 600 tons and a marginal cost of $900/t. Plant 2 has capacity of 1200 tons and a marginal cost of $1500/t. Due to exit of one competitor, you expect next year’s polystyrene ICIS price to increase to $1200. 1. How much volume of polystyrene do you expect to produce next year, if any? 2. What is your expected contribution margin for next year? 3. What is your expected profit for next year?
