- Scenario 3 Ben Gibson, the purchasing manager at Coastal Products, was reviewing purchasing expenditures for packaging materials with Jeff Joyner. Ben was particularly disturbed about the amount spent on corrugated boxes purchased from Southeastern Corrugated. Ben said, I dont like the salesman from that company. He comes around here acting like he owns the place. He loves to tell us about his fancy car, house, and vacations. It seems to me he must be making too much money off of us! Jeff responded that he heard Southeastern Corrugated was going to ask for a price increase to cover the rising costs of raw material paper stock. Jeff further stated that Southeastern would probably ask for more than what was justified simply from rising paper stock costs. After the meeting, Ben decided he had heard enough. After all, he prided himself on being a results-oriented manager. There was no way he was going to allow that salesman to keep taking advantage of Coastal Products. Ben called Jeff and told him it was time to rebid the corrugated contract before Southeastern came in with a price increase request. Who did Jeff know that might be interested in the business? Jeff replied he had several companies in mind to include in the bidding process. These companies would surely come in at a lower price, partly because they used lower-grade boxes that would probably work well enough in Coastal Products process. Jeff also explained that these suppliers were not serious contenders for the business. Their purpose was to create competition with the bids. Ben told Jeff to make sure that Southeastern was well aware that these new suppliers were bidding on the contract. He also said to make sure the suppliers knew that price was going to be the determining factor in this quote, because he considered corrugated boxes to be a standard industry item. As the Marketing Manager for Southeastern Corrugated, what would you do upon receiving the request for quotation from Coastal Products?arrow_forwardDescribe situations in which the single-period model is appropriate and solve typical problems.arrow_forwardGiven the number of students who eat in the cafeteria, Maria knows that she must purchase enough potatoes and green beans to prepare a minimum of 10 kilograms (kg) of casserole each week.

Maria does not establish an upper limit on the amount of casserole to prepare since she knows all leftovers can be served for many days thereafter or can be used creatively in preparing other dishes. a. Determine the amount of potatoes and green beans Maria should purchase each week for the casserole to minimize the ingredient costs while meeting nutritional, taste, and demand requirements. Before she makes her final decision, Maria plans to explore the following questions independently, except where otherwise indicated. b.

The company's Machinery Division has asked the Parts Division to provide it with 4,000 special parts each year. The special parts would require P23.00 per unit in variable production costs. The Machinery Division has a bid from an outside supplier for the special parts at P37.00 per unit. In order to have time and space to produce the special part, the Parts Division would have to cut back production of another part-the YR24 that it presently is producing. The YR24 sells for P40.00 per unit, and requires P28.00 per unit in variable production costs. Packaging and shipping costs of the YR24 are P3.00 per unit. Packaging and shipping costs for the new special part would be only P1.50 per unit. The Parts Division is now producing and selling 15,000 units of the YR24 each year. Production and sales of the YR24 would drop by 20% if the new special part is produced for…arrow_forwardJody of Jody’s Custom Tailoring is considering expanding her growing business. The question is whether to expand with a bigger facility than she needs or with a small facility, knowing that she will have to reconsider expanding in three years. Jody has estimated the following chances for demand: The likelihood of demand being high is 0.50. The likelihood of demand being low is 0.50. She has also estimated profits for each alternative: Large expansion has an estimated profitability of either $200,000 or $100,000, depending on whether demand turns out to be high or low. Small expansion has a profitability of $80,000, assuming that demand is low. Small expansion with an occurrence of high demand would require considering whether to expand further. If the business expands at that point, the profitability is expected to be $120,000. If it does not expand further, the profitability is expected to be $70,000. Draw a decision tree and solve it.
