- Hart Manufacturing makes three products. Each product requires manufacturing operations in three departments: A, B, and C. The labor-hour requirements, by department, are as follows: During the next production period the labor-hours available are 450 in department A, 350 in department B, and 50 in department C. The profit contributions per unit are 25 for product 1, 28 for product 2, and 30 for product 3. a. Formulate a linear programming model for maximizing total profit contribution. b. Solve the linear program formulated in part (a). How much of each product should be produced, and what is the projected total profit contribution? c. After evaluating the solution obtained in part (b), one of the production supervisors noted that production setup costs had not been taken into account. She noted that setup costs are 400 for product 1, 550 for product 2, and 600 for product 3. If the solution developed in part (b) is to be used, what is the total profit contribution after taking into account the setup costs? d. Management realized that the optimal product mix, taking setup costs into account, might be different from the one recommended in part (b). Formulate a mixed-integer linear program that takes setup costs provided in part (c) into account. Management also stated that we should not consider making more than 175 units of product 1, 150 units of product 2, or 140 units of product 3. e. Solve the mixed-integer linear program formulated in part (d). How much of each product should be produced and what is the projected total profit contribution? Compare this profit contribution to that obtained in part (c).arrow_forwardBountiful Manufacturing produces two types of bike frames (Frame X and Frame Y). Frame X passes through four processes: cutting, welding, polishing, and painting. Frame Y uses three of the same processes: cutting, welding, and painting. Each of the four processes employs 10 workers who work eight hours each day. Frame X sells for 40 per unit, and Frame Y sells for 55 per unit. Materials is the only unit-level variable expense. The materials cost for Frame X is 20 per unit, and the materials cost for Frame Y is 25 per unit. Bountifuls accounting system has provided the following additional information about its operations and products: Bountifuls management has determined that any production interruptions can be corrected within two days. Required: 1. Assuming that Bountiful can meet daily market demand, compute the potential daily profit. Now, compute the minutes needed for each process to meet the daily market demand. Can Bountiful meet daily market demand? If not, where is the bottleneck? Can you derive an optimal mix without using a graphical solution? If so, explain how. 2. Identify the objective function and the constraints. Then, graph the constraints facing Bountiful. Determine the optimal mix and the maximum daily contribution margin (throughput). 3. Explain how a drum-buffer-rope system would work for Bountiful. 4. Suppose that the Engineering Department has proposed a process design change that will increase the polishing time for Frame X from 15 to 23 minutes per unit and decrease the welding time from 15 minutes to 10 minutes per unit (for Frame X). The cost of process redesign would be 10,000. Evaluate this proposed change. What step in the TOC process does this proposal represent?arrow_forwardeBook Show Me How Question Content Area CVP with Activity-Based Costing Busy-Bee Baking Company produces a variety of breads.

Compute the break-even point in units using conventional analysis. $400000 2. Compute the break-even point in units using activity-based analysis. $400000 3. Suppose that Busy-Bee could reduce the setup cost by $100 per setup and could reduce the number of maintenance hours needed to 1,000. How many units must be sold to break even in this case?
