Question 4
b) Company ABC wishes to evaluate whether to produce a component
internally or purchase from a vendor. The firm has the following options:
Internal Production
Process 1
Process 2
Purchase from Vendor
Vendor 1
Vendor 2
Vendor 3
Variable cost of $17 per unit; annual
fixed cost of $200,000
Variable cost of $14 per unit; annual
fixed cost of $240,000
Offers a price of $20 per unit for any
volume up to 30,000 units
Offers a price of $22 per unit for 1,000
units or less, and $18 per unit for
large quantities
Offers a price of $21 per unit for the
first 1,000 units and $19 per unit for
additional units
If the annual demand is 10,000 units, which alternative would be best from
a cost standpoint? For 20,000 units, which alternative would be best?
Question and Observe:
At what level of demand (number of units) per year would these two alternatives be equal?
Graphically represent these two alternatives and their tradeoff point.

- Q2) 3. What is long range plan?arrow_forwardQUESTION 3 A producer has 100 cows, and wants to evaluate the economic feasibility of artificial insemination against natural mating. After taking into consideration the cost of bulls (using 4%), the operational costs, and the salvage value, the producer estimates that the cost of bulls per year is $3,170. On the other hand, the producer estimates that if using Al, the cost for frozen semen is $1,671/year and the cost to synchronize cows (using lutalyse) is $286/year. Based upon this information, estimate the maximum amount (i.e. $/hour) that the producer can pay for Al labor (before Al becomes more expensive than natural mating). Assume that for the 100 cows, 98 hours of labor are required for Al. Also assume that the producer already has proper facilities and Al tanks. Enter your answer in the "answer" box below.
