- local market research fim has just won a contract for several thousand small projects involving data gathering and statistical analysis. In the past, the firm has assigned each project to a single member of its highly trained professional staff. This person would both gather and analyze the data Using this approach, an experienced person can complete an average of 10 such projects in an eight-hour day. The firm's management is thinking of assigning two people to each project in order to allow them to specialize and become more efficient The process would require the data gatherer to fill out a matrix on the computer, check it and transmit it to the statistical analysis program for the analyst to complete. Data can be gathered on one project while the analysis is being completed on another, but the analysis must be complete before the statistical analysis program can accept the new data. After some practice, the new process can be completed with a standard time of 20 minutes…arrow_forwardplease solve in 30 mins.arrow_forwardSkyChefs, Inc., prepares in-flight meals for a number of major airlines. One of the company’s products is grilled salmon in dill sauce with baby new potatoes and spring vegetables. During the most recent week, the company prepared 4,300 of these meals using 1,250 direct labor-hours. The company paid its direct labor workers a total of $11,250 for this work, or $9.00 per hour. According to the standard cost card for this meal, it should require 0.30 direct labor-hours at a cost of $8.50 per hour. Required: 1. What is the standard labor-hours allowed (SH) to prepare 4,300 meals? 2. What is the standard labor cost allowed (SH × SR) to prepare 4,300 meals? 3. What is the labor spending variance? 4.

- A machine shop manufactures two types of bolts. The bolts require time on each of the three groups of machines, but the time required on each group differs, as shown in the table below. Type I Type IIMachine 1 0.2 min 0.2 minMachine 2 0.6 min 0.2 minMachine 3 0.04 min. 0.08 min Production schedules are made up one day at a time. In a day, 300, 720, and 100 minutes are available, respectively, on these machines. Type I bolts sell for 15¢ and type II bolts for 20¢. (a) How many of each type of bolt should be manufactured per day to maximize revenue?(b) What is the maximum revenue?(c) Suppose the selling price of type I bolts began to increase. Beyond what amount would this price have to increase before a different number of each type of bolts should be produced to maximize revenue?arrow_forwardConsider a law firm with 15 lawyers and 3 paralegals. The firm is struggling to keep up with the high demand for its services, particularly during the busy litigation seasons. It has been observed that the lawyers spend a significant amount of their time on administrative tasks that could potentially be handled by paralegals. After a careful study of the work distribution within the firm, it was determined that 35% of the activities carried out by the lawyers are administrative in nature. Given that each lawyer works 50 hours a week, please determine: (a) How many additional paralegals should the firm hire to handle the administrative tasks currently performed by the lawyers? (b) If the lawyers' time spent on administrative tasks is redirected to billable legal work, by what percentage could the firm potentially increase its billable hours?arrow_forwardA startup company is considering making a part by injection molding. The part is moderately complex and the volume of the part is about 10 cubic centimeters. Assume that the part is designed for injection molding and can be made with a two part mold. The company needs to make 250,000 parts made from ABS plastic. Once the mold is made it will take a worker 1 minute to make one part using the injection molding machine. The company will use contract manufacturing to produce the parts. Estimate the cost per part and explain how you came up with the number. (If you are stuck look at the Contract Manufacturing Cost per Unit section. Also keep in mind that there is no exact right answer, the goal is to come up with a reasonable estimate.) Contract Manufacturing Cost per Unit: It’s not uncommon to hire another company to perform some or all the manufacturing for a product. To estimate the cost use ((Cost of Parts and Materials) + (man hours) × $40)/.75arrow_forward
- Please do whole question with all parts done correctly Farmer John sells fruit and vegetables at a farmer’s market in the middle of a city. He is bringing tomatoes to the city for this weekend’s farmer’s market. The tomatoes are very ripe and, therefore, he will need to sell the tomatoes at the farmer’s market and then have to discard any that were not sold. However, there is a cost to the farmer to bring tomatoes into the city for the farmer’s market. In particular, it costs the farmer $1.75 per case of tomatoes to prepare them and bring them to the market. Farmer John can sell each case for $4.5. Farmer John estimates that he will be able to sell 12, 13, 14, or 15 cases of tomatoes at the farmer’s market. Based on historical sales, he believes that the probabilities of being able to sell 12, 13, 14, and 15 cases are 0.1, 0.3, 0.4, and 0.2, respectively.

You have been asked to submit a bid to produce 12 special clamps for a new die that is under construction. You estimate that the material costs (metal and fasteners) for each clamp are $150.00. You also estimate that 10.65 labor hours are needed to produce the first clamp. The value of your labor is $50/hour. From similar orders in the past, you estimate that there is a 90% learning curve for this type of work. Using this information, what is the lowest total bid (cumulative price for 12 clamps) you should submit if you charge a 25% markup on material and you wish to recoup your labor costs? Hint: set up formulas in Excel (see Moodle video). This is a long problem. Round your answer to 2 decimal places and DO NOT include the $ sign or a comma.

- Please solve all and explain each steparrow_forward1. A company wishes to estimate the profit from two new products. The estimated cost of producing the first product is €3 per unit and it is expected to sell for €5 per unit while the second product costs €5 per unit and is expected to sell for €8 per unit. The first product takes 1 hour of packaging time per day while the second one takes 2 hours of packaging time per day. The time taken for delivery of the first product is 2 hours while the second takes just 1 hour to deliver. The total time available in the packaging and delivery sections is 6 and 8 hours per day respectively. (a) Formulate the linear programming problem.

Due to increased levels of competition, this company is now increasingly finding it difficult to compete – especially as the larger companies seem to be a little more innovative, agile and responsive to client requirements. Management have noticed that staff, especially the highly skilled ones, are now leaving the company to seek work elsewhere (in these larger companies). This has meant appointing new staff and undertaking a considerable amount of re-training to replace those that have left the company. Apart from impacting on core business operations, ABC Solutions has started witnessing a drop in its profit margin. Given this position, senior management at ABC Solutions have decided to implement a performance measurement tool (PMT) that would allow them to align the strategic, management and operational requirements of the business. They are therefore considering the adoption of the…arrow_forward
