A company that manufactures oximeters (devices that are placed on the fingers to measure the amount of oxygenation that a person is producing) has recently been stretched by high demand due to COVID-19. From that company, it is known that in the month of August 2020 a total of 10,000 oximeters were produced that qualified as conforming product, that the company was running a total of 25 days, Monday through Saturday, 9.5 hour shifts, of that time half an hour daily was for calibration and warm-up of the production machines and one hour daily was lunch for the workers. In addition, daily half-hour meetings are held to discuss the day's production. Because they are currently working under pressure due to high demand, there are no kanban waiting times.
Determine the parts per hour of work that were produced during the month of August 2020.

- Every year in September, the NFL (National Football League) announces official prices of their next Super bowl tickets. The official ticket prices for 2022 Super bowl ticket in the NFL official websites started from $6,800 per person and it was up to over $81,800 per person depending on the location of the seats from the field. However, about three fourth of all tickets were already distributed to the NFL teams. The other one fourth are distributed to the media, NFL partners and sponsors. As a result, a small fraction of a total of about 70,000 tickets were sold in the secondary market. Those tickets were available to buy and sell in the official NFL online sites and other ticket brokers. Given the limited supply of tickets available to the NFL fans to purchase, the actual prices are dominated by the wide fluctuation of demand caused by many factors such as the venue of the game, the winning teams for the championship match, the packages of tickets offered by the brokers, and the…arrow_forwardThe Electro-comp Corporation manufactures 2 electrical products: air conditioners and large fans. The assembly process for each is similar in that both require a certain amount of wiring and drilling. Each air conditioner takes 5 hours of wiring and 3 hours of drilling.

Electro-comp management also insists that no more than 60 and less than 15 fans be produced during this production period. In addition, management imposed a constraint on the total number of air conditioners and fans to be made not more than 100.

Total monthly fuel and wind-power costs are now averaging $6,800,000. An engineer with the utility has calculated the average revenue for the past 24 months using three fuel-mix and wind-power situations: all gas, < 30% other or wind, and ≥ 30% other or wind. The table below shows the number of months for each situation and the associated revenue. If the same situation persists for the next 2 years, determine whether the utility’s revenue will be greater or less than the costs and by how much.
