Sally Statistics is implementing a system of statistical process control (SPC) charts in her factory in an effort to reduce the overall cost of scrapped product. The current cost of scrap is $X per month. If a 75% learning curve is expected in the use of the SPC charts to reduce the cost of scrap, what would the percentage reduction in monthly scrap cost be after the charts have been used for 6 months? (Hint: Model each month as a unit of production.)
An automotive manufacturer uses 200,000 radial
tires per year for its new car series. The company
makes its own tires, which it can produce at a rate of
800 per day. The cars are assembled uniformly over
the entire year. The holding cost is $10 per tire per
year. The machine setup cost for a production run of
tires is $70. The firm operates 260 days per year.
What is the annual carrying cost when the economic
production quantity is 8,533 tires? Select the closest
answer.
1) $42,665
(2) $1,641
(3) $3,282

PROBLEM NO. 1:
The cost of producing a commodity consists of P35 per unit of labor, P42 per unit of materials, and P10 per unit for other variable costs. Cost
of utilities and rents amounts to P850,000 per month. If the commodity is sold at P310 each;
(a) What is the profit/loss if 3369 units were sold?
(b) How many pieces must be produced each month for the manufacturer to breakeven?

- Please no written by hand solutions One area of concern when it comes to Starlink is the cost. For example, at the beginning of February 2023, FiberOne, a broadband internet provider in Nigeria, was providing internet with speeds of up to 500Mbps, which is fast. The installation fee was N32,231 (about US$70) and the monthly subscription cost around N100,000 (US$220). Starlink in Nigeria, meanwhile, costs about N276,000 (US$599) once- off for the kit and installation, then charges a monthly subscription fee of about [N19,800] (US$43). Starlink is cheaper in the long term than both fibre optic and mobile internet providers. But can an average rural Nigerian household with a monthly income of less than N28,000 (US$60) afford it? Given that average incomes are similarly low in most rural and remote parts of Africa, there's a risk that Starlink's targeted users on the continent won't be able to use the service. The reason that Starlink is able to charge a lower monthly price for their…arrow_forwardFind the attached file.arrow_forwardThe cost of the Good Son Stroller to the retailer is $245.
