Your company presently uses a crew of its own employees for all major maintenance. On average, 40 major repairs are performed each year at 24 lost production hours per repair. Keeping the crew costs $1,000,000 per year plus any lost production cost. Lost production costs are estimated at $2,500 per hour. Your company is considering replacing its in-housemaintenance work with an outside company (Ajax) working under an annual maintenance contract. This proposal will pay Ajax $2,000,000 per year but your company will still have to pay for all lost production time.Ajax claims that the time per repair will decrease because of the contractors’ substantial maintenance experience. Assuming the number of major repairs and the cost of lost production time remain the same, how much time per repair is the maximum allowable for Ajax to be the preferred alternative?

The Acme Widget Company has found that if widgets are priced at $125, then 2700 will be sold each month. They have also found that for every increase of $18, there will be 100 fewer widgets sold each month. The cost to produce each widget is $25 plus the monthly fixed costs are $3800.

- Bruno Fruscalzo decided to start a small production facility in Sydney to sell gelato to the local restaurants. His local milk supplier charges $0.50 per kilogram of milk plus a $15 delivery fee (the $15 fee is independent of the amount ordered). Bruno's holding cost is $0.03 per kilogram per month. He needs 8,250 kilograms of milk per month. Suppose Bruno orders 10,000 kilograms each time. What is his average inventory (in kilograms)? Suppose Bruno orders 6,250 kilograms each time. How many orders does he place with his supplier each year? Note: Round your answer to 1 decimal place. How many kilograms should Bruno order from his supplier with each order to minimize the sum of the ordering and holding costs? If Bruno's storage vessel can hold only 2,000 kilograms of milk, what would be Bruno's annual ordering and holding costs if he orders this amount? If Bruno's storage vessel can hold only 7, 000 kilograms of milk, what would be Bruno's annual ordering and holding costs if he orders…arrow_forwardThe owner of a thriving business wants to open a new office in a distant city. If he can hire someone who will manage the new office honestly, he can afford to pay that person a weekly salary of $2,000 ($1,000 more than the manager would be able to earn elsewhere) and still earn an economic profit of $500. The owner's concern is that he will not be able to monitor the manager's behavior and that the manager would therefore be in a position to embezzle money from the business. The owner knows that if the remote office is managed dishonestly, the manager can earn $3,500, which results in an economic loss of $400 per week. (Hint. Construct a decision tree to help you answer the questions below.) a. If the owner believes that all managers are narrowly self-interested income maximizers, will he open the new office? O Yes O No b. Suppose the owner knows that a managerial candidate condemns dishonest behavior, and who would be willing to pay up to $5,000 to avoid the guilt she would feel if…arrow_forwardIn excel pleasearrow_forward

Most of their new phones are ordered. But, Telefonika stocks three main phones for walk-in customers. Every week, they generate profit of GH¢600 from selling Galaxy S2, GH¢400 from Galaxy S3 and GH¢300 from Galaxy S4. The overall weekly cost of these types of phones are GH¢1,800, GH¢2,100 and GH¢1,200 respectively. This week, Telefonika has a budget of GH¢12,000 available to buy these three types of phones. During sales, each phone type must be unpacked, leading to 8 hours of unpacking time for S2 phones, 12 hours for S3 phones and 16 hours for S4 phones. The manager estimates that he and his workers have 120 labour hours available to unpack the three types of phones. Telefonika has enough space to order 20 phones this week. The manager also wants to stock at least twice as many S4 as S2 and S3 phones because S4 phones sell better.a) Formulate a linear programming model for this…arrow_forwardThe Astronomical Telescope shop plans to introduce a new model based on the following information: Rent and utilities per period are $ 1267; variable cost per unit is $ 117; selling price per unit is $ 242; How many units must be sold to make a profit of $ 3856?arrow_forward
- Cregg Hart is manufacturing manager for Larabee Engineering, a locomotive engine and rail car manufacturer. The company has been very successful in recent years, and in July 2016 signed two major contracts totaling nearly $200 million. A key to the company’s success has been its focus on quality. Customers from around the world have been very pleased with the attention to detail put forth by Larabee Engineering. One of the things Cregg has been adamant about is that Larabee Engineering’s suppliers also provide high quality. As a result, when the company finds good suppliers, it stays with them and tries to establish a long-term relationship. However, Cregg must also factor in the costs of parts and materials and has instructed his purchasing staff to be on the lookout for “better deals.” Recently, Sheryl Carleson, purchasing manager, identified a new rivet supplier in Europe that claims its rivets are as good or better quality than the current supplier’s but at a much lower cost. One…arrow_forwardThe area of a parking lot is 600 square meters. A car requires 6 square meters. A bus requires 30 square meters. The attendant can handle only 60 vehicles.

- A company uses 5000 items per annum which has a price of $2 each. The ordering costs are $150 per order and holding costs are $1.50 per item per annum. The company is offered a 5% discount (discounted price is $1.90) for orders of 5000 and over. Order cost and holding cost remain at $150 per order and $1.50 respectively. Assuming that the company orders 5000 items per order, calculate the number of orders per annum, average stock, annual stock holding cost, annual order cost, annual inventory cost and the total annual cost of items and inventory.arrow_forwardIn preparing for the upcoming holiday season, Fresh Toy Company (FTC) designed a new doll called The Dougie that teaches children how to dance. The fixed cost to produce the doll is $100,000. The variable cost, which includes material, labor, and shipping costs, is $32 per doll. During the holiday selling season, FTC will sell the dolls for $40 each. If FTC overproduces the dolls, the excess dolls will be sold in January through a distributor who has agreed to pay FTC $10 per doll. Demand for new toys during the holiday selling season is extremely uncertain. Forecasts are for expected sales of 60,000 dolls with a standard deviation of 15,000. The normal probability distribution is assumed to be a good description of the demand.

Smyrna University has gained an excellent reputation for its post-graduate courses, and thus the University has attracted a large number of students who are interested in postgraduate studies and located in Southern and North-Western parts of Turkey. The fees paid by these students make an important contribution to the University’s annual budgeted income. To support the recruitment of students from North-Western and Southern Turkey, the University has established a small department to promote its courses and to liaise with education institutions in Southern and North-Western cities. However, this year there has been a noticeable reduction in the number of applications from Southern and North-Western parts of Turkey. The University authorities are unsure if this is because of the global economic downturn, or if there are other factors causing this reduction. They have decided to conduct…arrow_forward
