The Goodparts Company produces a component that is subsequently used in the aerospace industry. The component consists of three parts (A, B, and C) that are purchased from outside and cost 35, 30, and 10 cents per piece, respectively. Parts A and B are assembled first on assembly line 1, which produces 185 components per hour. Part C undergoes a drilling operation before being finally assembled with the output from assembly line 1. There are, in total, six drilling machines, but at present only three of them are operational. Each drilling machine drills part C at a rate of 80 parts per hour. In the final assembly, the output from assembly line 1 is assembled with the drilled part C. The final assembly line produces at a rate of 205 components per hour. At present, components are produced eight hours a day and five days a week. Management believes that if the need arises, it can add a second shift of eight hours for the assembly lines. The cost of assembly labor is 30 cents per part for…

- Link's Lumber creates pressure-treated utility poles from pine logs bought from several surrounding pine plantations. At the Link's Lumber operation, a batch of 100 pine logs yields 85 utility poles with 5 labor-hours required to process the entire batch. Link's Lumber is owned by Artemis Link, whose brother Devious Link is plan- ning to marry Betty Davis, owner of Northlands Pine Plantation. Artemis expects that his future sister-in-law will sell him pine logs for the same price he is paying to purchase them from other growers right now. The difference in Northlands Pine Plantation logs, however, is that they are considerably higher-quality wood than the logs he purchases from his current suppliers. If Betty agrees to sell him Northlands Pine Plantation pine logs, each batch of 100 logs can be expected to yield 100 util- ity poles, although it will take an additional 4 labor-hours per batch to process the higher-quality wood. a.

THE The first component, A, is produced internally and goes through three process steps, which are stamping, forging and machining, with scrap estimates of 10%, 15% and 25%, respectively. For every three produced units of component A, two are used in the final assembly and one is separate to meet spare parts needs. The second component, B, which is used exclusively in final assembly, is purchased from a supplier external and inspected on arrival; 2% do not pass inspection. A unit of the component purchased is required for each final assembly. The final assembly process produces 5% of scraps.
