- Jupiter Game Company manufactures pocket electronic games. Last year Jupiter sold 25,000 games at $25 each. Total costs amounted to $525,000, of which $150,000 were considered fixed costs. In an attempt to improve its product, the company is considering replacing a component part that has a cost of $2.50 with a new and better part costing $4.50 per unit in the coming year. A new machine also would be needed to increase plant capacity. The machine would cost $18,000 with a useful life of six years and no salvage value. The company uses straight-line depreciation on all plant assets.

Given the increase in annual requirement, the production manager is contemplating to start manufacturing the special components in-house to save costs rather than sourcing them from outside. Given the current purchase price of $9000 per unit, what will the average annual requirement need to be in order to justify making the components in-house if the variable cost of making is $6750 per unit and an upfront fixed cost of $55,000,000 is needed to procure the necessary plant and equipment? However, in the event that the expected increase in demand does not materialize and the demand is actually forecast to drop to 20,000 units next year, then what will be the maximum price per unit that DBS would be willing to pay to the supplier in order to continue buying from them? Going forward, if it is found to be a better decision to make the components in-house, DBS will then need to…arrow_forward
- McBurger, Inc., wants to redesign its kitchens to improve productivity and quality. Three designs, called designs K1, K2, and K3, are under consideration. No matter which design is used, daily production of sandwiches at a typical McBurger restaurant is for 600 sandwiches. A sandwich costs $1.30 to produce. Non-defective sandwiches sell, on the average, for $2.50 per sandwich. Defective sandwiches cannot be sold and are scrapped. The goal is to choose a design that maximizes the expected profit at a typical restaurant over a 300-day period. Designs K1, K2, and K3 cost $115,000, $140,000, and $170,000, respectively. Under design K1, there is a .80 chance that 90 out of each 100 sandwiches are non-defective and a .20 chance that 70 out of each 100 sandwiches are non-defective. Under design K2, there is a .85 chance that 90 out of each 100 sandwiches are non-defective and a .15 chance that 75 out of each 100 sandwiches are non-defective.
