Textbook Question
Chapter 2, Problem 1P
Dr. Gulakowicz is an orthodontist. She estimates that adding two new chairs will increase fixed costs by $150,000, including the annual equivalent cost of the capital investment and the salary of one more technician. Each new patient is expected to bring in $3,000 per year in additional revenue, with variable costs estimated at $1,000 per patient. The two new chairs will allow Dr. Gulakowicz to expand her practice by as many as 200 patients annually. How many patients would have to be added for the new process to break even?

Ace Shoe Company sells heel replacement kits for men's shoes. It has fixed costs of $9 million and unit variable costs of $5 per pair. Ace is considering a switch from manual labor to an automated process. New equipment would cost an additional $4 million per year while lowering variable costs by $3 per shoe repair kit. How many kits would Ace have to sell at $17 per pair to make $2 million in profits in the next year with the automated process?
In order to help out your manager, you’ve been asked to collaborate on the prep work for a safety assessment of your office.
Office:
two floors, bathrooms on both
four separate rooms/shared office spaces
one fully-fitted staff kitchen
elevator & emergency staircase with four emergency exit doors
Macs in every office
air conditioning system and fire extinguishers in every room
In your assessment, make sure to mention what should be checked in each room. Think about some of the safety hazards mentioned in the unit, such as cabling, panels, equipment, and safety features but also try to come up with things not mentioned.
Suppose your manager presents you with the following information about machines that could be used for a job, and wants your
recommendation on which one to choose. The specification width is .48 mm. In this instance, you can narrow the set of choices, but
you probably wouldn't make a recommendation without an additional piece of information. (Round your answers to 3 decimal places.)

The menu was a success, drawing many more customers, who seemed to like the increased variety of the menu choices over the previous menu. But, good news soon became bad news as long waiting lines began to deter customers and business dropped off. Because of the space and other limitations, there didn’t seem to be any viable options to consider. Then a customer mentioned a technique called mass customization that was being used at his company. He said it really streamlined processing and maybe it could work for the restaurant.

Five sections for 40 students each are offered each semester. A few graduate students attend sections 3 and 4. Graduate students must complete some extra work to higher standards for each assignment. Every student delivers (or is supposed to deliver) directly to (under) the door of your office one homework assignment every Tuesday. Your job is to correct the homework, record grades, sort the papers by class section, sort by student last name in alphabetical order, and return the homework papers to the appropriate instructors (not necessarily in that order). There are some complications. A fair majority of the students sign their names legibly, others identify work with their correct ID number, and a few do neither. Rarely do students identify their section number or graduate status. Prepare a list of process chart steps and place them in an efficient sequence.arrow_forwardExplain the interrelationship of QC with the other departments (Production, Sales and Purchasing, and Research and Development) in a food manufacturing firm.
