- Asia Aerials (AA) manufactures satellite dishes for receiving satellite television signals. AA supplies the major satellite TV companies that install standard satellite dishes for their customers. The company also manufactures and installs a small number of specialized satellite dishes to individuals or businesses with specific needs resulting from poor reception in their locations. The chief executive officer (CEO) wants to initiate a program of cost reduction at AA. His plan is to use activity-based management (ABM) to allocate costs more accurately and to identify non-value-adding activities. The first department to be analyzed is the customer care department, as it has been believed for some time that the current method of cost allocation is giving unrealistic results for the two product types. At present, the finance director (FD) absorbs the cost of customer care into the product cost on a per-unit basis using the data in table 1. He then tries to correct the problem of…arrow_forwardI dont need to know how to use solver.

- Galaxy Cloud Services operates several data centers across the United States containing servers that store and process the data on the Internet. Suppose that Galaxy Cloud Services currently has five outdated data centers: one each in Michigan, Ohio, and California and two in New York. Management is considering increasing the capacity of these data centers to keep up with increasing demand. Each data center contains servers that are dedicated to Secure data and to Super Secure data. The cost to update each data center and the resulting increase in server capacity for each type of server are as follows: The projected needs are for a total increase in capacity of 90 Secure servers and 90 Super Secure servers. Management wants to determine which data centers to update to meet projected needs and, at the same time, minimize the total cost of the added capacity. Formulate a binary integer programming model that could be used to determine the optimal solution to the capacity increase question facing management. Solve the model formulated in part (a) to provide a recommendation for management.arrow_forwardLaw Wizard Inc.

- Nagle Devices produces medical instruments, primarily for hospital and medical office use. A new design for their best-selling hospital thermometer has the marketing team considering possibly entering the home market. This would be new for Nagle, because they would be selling to large chain retailers and online resellers, rather than direct to the user. Management at Nagle Devices requires an operating profit of 30 percent of manufacturing costs. After doing some market research in this new market, the marketing team has determined that the new thermometer could sell for no more than $46.80. The manufacturing department at Nagle estimates for the following manufacturing costs for the new thermometer as follows: Direct materials $ 21.20 Direct labor 8.70 Manufacturing overhead 7.10 Total $ 37.00 Required: a.

The stores are popular with home remodelers, contractors, and do-it-yourself customers. The managers at Waveney are interested in understanding what drives costs as well as getting better cost estimates when planning new stores. The area manager for the Southeast Region is interested in new data analysis approaches to management and offered to run a test using data from the 14 stores in the region. The initial thoughts of the managers and the financial analysts in the region were that two primary factors drove store costs: store area (square footage) and revenue. The following data were collected from the most recent year of operations (revenues and costs in thousands of dollars).
