Include a summary of the requirements for training and certification, as well as some illustrations drawn from real-life scenarios.
You are an experienced machinist with a small tool shop. You have been asked
to submit a bid to produce 12 special clamps for a new die that is under
construction. You estimate that the material costs (metal and fasteners) for
each clamp are $150.00. You also estimate that 10.65 labor hours are needed
to produce the first clamp. The value of your labor is $50/hour.
From similar orders in the past, you estimate that there is a 90% learning curve
for this type of work. Using this information, what is the lowest total bid
(cumulative price for 12 clamps) you should submit if you charge a 25%
markup on material and you wish to recoup your labor costs?
Hint: set up formulas in Excel (see Moodle video). This is a long problem.
Round your answer to 2 decimal places and DO NOT include the $ sign or a
comma. For example, answer 4567.89 and NOT $4,567.89

- The Hand-To-Mouth Company (HTM) has $200,000 in cash, no inventory, and a 90 percent learning curve. To reduce the complexity of this problem, ignore the hiring and training costs associated with dramatically increased production. Employees are paid $20 per hour every Friday for that week’s work. HTM has received an order to build 1,000 oak desks over the next 15 weeks. Materials cost $400 per desk. Suppliers make deliveries each Monday and insist on cash upon delivery. The first desk takes 100 hours of direct labor to build. HTM will be paid $1,500 per desk 2 weeks after the desks are delivered. Should HTM take this order?
