Suppose Ledfords is trying to decide whether to produce its own line of Formica countertops, cabinets, and picnic tables. Assume Ledford would incur the following unit costs in producing its own product lines: Rather than making these products, assume that Ledfords could buy them from outside suppliers. Suppliers would charge Ledfords $40 per countertop, $25 per cabinet, and $65 per picnic table. Whether Ledfords makes or buys these products, assume that the company expects the following annual sales: • Countertops—487,200 at $130 each • Cabinets—150,000 at $75 each • Picnic tables—100,000 at $225 each Assume that Ledfords has a production facility with excess capacity that could be used to produce these products with no additional fixed costs.

- Jims Camera shop sells two high-end cameras, the Sky Eagle and Horizon. The demand for these two cameras are as follows: Ds = demand for the Sky Eagle, Ps is the selling price of the Sky Eagle, DH is the demand for the Horizon, and PH is the selling price of the Horizon.

Customers submit orders to the HG website by selecting the needed items from a menu. Currently, HG has employees who deliver the groceries, but the company is considering the option of contracting out deliveries. The fixed cost of the grocery delivery operation is $500,000 per year, of which, $200,000 is avoidable if grocery deliveries are contracted out. A statistical study suggests delivery costs vary with both the number of customers and the number of items purchased. On average, the fixed annual delivery cost per customer is $250 and the average variable delivery cost of each grocery item delivered is $0.50. On average, each customer purchases 1,000 grocery items per year. Therefore, if there are 2,000 customers budgeted, the number of grocery item deliveries will be 2 million. Custom delivery (CD) has offered to deliver groceries for HG as a flat rate of $850 per customer per year irrespective of the number of…arrow_forward1.
