- Which of the following is a fixed cost? a) Direct materials b ) Direct labor c) Rent on factory building d) Variable manufacturing overheadarrow_forwardRecall "Tommy's Dresses to go" case. Three years after, this company still rents designer dresses to customers, but it has managed to streamline its internal processes and expand to different segments of demand. Now, customers can rent clothes for anywhere between 1 days to 30 days, and each customer is sent only one (1) dress (instead of 2 dresses described in the case). The company alsó takes only 13 number of days to turn around a dress (i.e., this the duration starting with return from a customer, to again being rented out to a customer). The current demand is an average of 1,000 customers per day, and the company owns total of 30 thousand dresses. What is the average rental duration? (i.e., what is the average number of days, a customer keeps a dress).arrow_forwardC&A Furniture uses a four-step process to make its famous wood table: Processing Time Process Milling Table top Milling Table stand Assembly Finishing The milling machine requires a setup time of 30 minutes to make table tops and a changeover time of 30 minutes to make table stands. If the batch size is 10, what is the capacity of the process in tables per minute? A) 0.077 B) 0.05 C) 0.067 10 5 15 20 D) 0.048arrow_forward
- Guesstimate how much work-in-process inventory they would expect to see in a production line that produces ambulances.arrow_forwardParent S requires three of component T and two of component U. Both T and Uare run on work center 30. Setup time for T is 7 hours, and run time is 0.1 hour perpiece. For component U, setup time is 8 hours, and run time is 0.2 hour per piece. Ifthe rated capacity of the work center is 120 hours, how many Ts and Us should beproduced in a week?arrow_forwardColeman Rich, Ltd., has received the followingorders: The entire fabrication for these units is scheduled on onemachine. There are 2,250 usable minutes in a week, and eachunit will take 65 minutes to complete. Develop a capacityplan, using lot splitting, for the 10-week time periodarrow_forward
- Giving examples distinguish between make-to-stock and make-to-order suppy chain processes.arrow_forwardYost-Perry Industries (YPI) manufactures a mix of affordable guitars (A, B, C) that are fabricated and assembled at four different processing stations (W, X, Y, Z). The operation is a batch process with small setup times that can be considered negligible. The product information (price, weekly demand, and processing times) and process sequences are shown in Figure. Raw materials and purchased parts (shown as a per-unit consumption rate) are represented by inverted triangles. YPI is able to make and sell up to the limit of its demand per week with no penalties incurred for not meeting the full demand. Each workstation is staffed by one highly skilled worker who is dedicated to work on that workstation alone and is paid $15 per hour. The plant operates one 8-hour shift per day and operates on a 5-day work week (i.e., 40 hours of production per person per week). Overhead costs are $9,000/week. Which of the four workstations, W, X, Y, or Z, has the highest aggregate workload, and thus…arrow_forwardUp, Up, and Away is a producer of kites and wind socks.

Currently, the company operates four machines, and desires a 25 percent capacity cushion. How many machines should be purchased to meet the upcoming year's demand without resorting to any short-term capacity solutions? The number of additional machines required is (Enter your response rounded up to the next whole number)arrow_forward
- . Terminator, Inc., manufactures a motorcycle part in lots of 250 units. The raw materials cost for the part is $150, and the value added in manufacturing 1 unit from its components is $300, for a total cost per completed unit of $450. The lead time to make the part is 3 weeks, and the annual demand is 4,000 units. Assume 50 working weeks per year. a. How many units of the part are held, on average, as cycle inventory? What is its value? b. How many units of the part are held, on average, as pipeline inventory? What is its value?arrow_forwardProduction data show 35,920 units were transferred out of a stage of production and 6,150 units remained in ending WIP inventory that was 100% complete to material and 35% complete to conversion.
