Digital Controis, Inc. (DCI), manufactures two models of a radar gun used by police to monitor the speed of automobiles. Model A has an accuracy of plus or minus 1 mile per hour, whereas the
smaller model B has an accuracy of plus or minus 3 miles per hour.
For the next week, the company has orders for 100 units of model A and 150 units of model B. Although DCI purchases all the electronic components used in both models, the plastic cases for both
models are manufactured at a DCI plant in Newark, New Jersey. Each model A case requires 4 minutes of injection-molding time and 6 minutes of assembly time. Each model B case requires 3
minutes of injection-molding time and 8 minutes of assembly time. For next week, the Newark plant has 600 minutes of injection-molding time avallable and 1,080 minutes of assembly time availab
The manufacturing cost is $10 per case for model A and $6 per case for model B. Depending upon demand and the time avalable at the Newark plant, DCI occasionally…
As part of a quality improvement initiative, Consolidated Electronics employees complete a three-day training program on teaming and a two-day training program on problem-solving. The manager of quality improvement has requested that at least 8 training programs on teaming and at least 10 training programs on problem-solving be offered during the next six months. In addition, senior-level management has specified that at least 25 training programs must be offered during this period. Consolidated Electronics uses a consultant to teach the training programs.

Product XB has a sales potential in the market; hence, some of it can be sold at the end of Stage 2, and the remaining can be moved to Stage 3. The third stage produces Product XC, and then delivers it to customers. Two units of Product XA produced in Stage 1 are required for each unit of Product XB in Stage 2. In addition, four units of Product XB produced in Stage 2 are required for each unit of Product XC in Stage 3. Stage 1 can only use regular time; however, Stage 2 has the options of using regular time and overtime in manufacturing. On the other hand, Stage 3 has only one alternative, which is subcontracting.

- (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) Maria is not very concerned about the taste of the casserole; she is only concerned about meeting nutritional requirements and cutting costs. She therefore forces Edson to change the recipe to allow for only at least a one to two ratio in the weight of potatoes to green beans. Given the new recipe, determine the amount of potatoes and green beans Maria should purchase each week.

The collection point for both fuel companies is located at the same seaport. The general manager of Mansfield Energy Corp intends to hire a consultant to train Mansfield Energy Corp’s employees regarding the new procedures for affixing the fuel lines at the collection point to the high-capacity storage tanks and is debating whether the competitor should be invited to attend given that they use the same seaport. The general manager is mindful of the high cost of hiring the consultant and sourcing the equipment to train Mansfield Energy Corp’s employees and is therefore hesitant to invite his competitors. The manager is also aware that there have been no accidents at the port since operations started 10 years ago and might not invite the competitors to participate in the training.

One of its key business units specializes in the repair and reconditioning of golf carts. GWI enters into contracts with a number of golf clubs throughout the U.S. in which the clubs send their carts to GWI for a complete reconditioning: motor, frame repair where necessary, and replacement of seat covers and canvas tops. The clubs usually will cycle 10–15% of their carts through this process each year. Because GWI's business has been growing steadily, it is very important to complete the reconditioning of the carts within a budgeted time and cost. The firm uses weighted-average process costing to keep track of the costs incurred in the reconditioning process. GWI's golf cart repair and reconditioning unit has the following information for the month of November, in which 1,200 carts were started for reconditioning: Beginning WIP: 150 units, 50% complete for materials ($16,600) and 30% complete for…arrow_forward
- North Platt Machinery Company manufactures a shaft that must fit inside a sleeve. The firm has just received an order of 43,000 units from Southernstar Exploration Company for $48 per unit. North Platt can manufacture the shaft at $18 per unit. Southernstar desires the diameter of the shaft to be 1.289 cm. The diameter of the shaft must not be less than 1.264 cm in order to fit properly inside the sleeve. To be able to insert the shaft into a sleeve without the use of force, the diameter cannot be larger than 1.314 cm. A defective shaft is discarded and a replacement has to be shipped via express freight to locations around the world.
