Chapter D, Problem 24P

Revisit Problem 22 on the Bull Grin Company. Some cost and demand parameters have changed. Producing 1,000 pounds of supplement now costs $830 on regular time and $910 on overtime. No additional cost is incurred for unused regular-time, overtime, or subcontractor capacity. Overtime is limited to production of a total of 20,000 pounds per quarter. In addition, subcontractors can be hired at $1,000 per 1,000 pounds, but only 30,000 pounds per quarter can be produced this way.

The current level of inventory is 40,000 pounds, amid management wants to end the year at that level. Holding 1,000 pounds of feed supplement in inventory per quarter costs $100. The latest annual forecast is shown in Table D.3.

Use the transportation method of production planning in POM for Windows to find the optimal production plan and calculate its cost, or use the spreadsheet approach to find a good production plan amid calculate its cost.

A small textile company makes several types of sweat-ers. Demand is very seasonal, as shown by the follow-ing quarterly demand estimates. Demand is estimated interms of standard hours of production required.An hour of regular time costs the company $12. Employees are paid $18 per hour on overtime, andlabor can be subcontracted from the outside at $14per hour. A maximum of 1000 overtime hours isavailable in any month. A change in the regular level of production (increase or decrease) incurs a one-time cost of $5 per hour for adding or subtracting anhour of labor. It costs 2 percent per month to carry an hour of finished work in inventory. Materials and overhead costs in inventory are equal to the directlabor costs. At the beginning of the fall quarter,there are 5000 standard hours in inventory and theworkforce level is equivalent to 10,000 standardhours.a. Suppose management sets the level of regular work-ers for the year equal to the average demand andsubcontracts out the rest. What is…
The Woody Company manufactures slippers and sells them at $10 a pair. Variable manufacturing costs are $4.50 a pair, and allocated fixed manufacturing costs are $1.50 a pair. It has enough idle capacity available to accept a one-time-only special order of 20,000 pairs of slippers at $6 a pair. Woody will not incur any marketing costs as a result of the special order. What would the effect on operating income be if the special order could be accepted without affecting normal sales? (a) $0, (b) $30,000 increase, (c) $90,000 increase, (d) $120,000 increase
Zan Azlett and Angela Zesiger have joined forces to start​ A&Z Lettuce​ Products, a processor of packaged shredded lettuce for institutional use. Zan has years of food processing​ experience, and Angela has extensive commercial food preparation experience. The process will consist of opening crates of lettuce and then​ sorting, washing,​ slicing, preserving, and finally packaging the prepared lettuce.​ Together, with help from​ vendors, they think they can adequately estimate​ demand, fixed​ costs, revenues, and variable cost per bag of lettuce. They think a largely manual process will have monthly fixed costs of $40,000 and variable costs of $2.00 per bag. A more mechanized process will have fixed costs of $72,000 per month with variable costs of $1.25 per bag. They expect to sell the shredded lettuce for $3.00 per bag. ​a) The​ break-even quantity in units for the manual process​ = enter your response here bags ​(round your response to the nearest whole​ number). ​b) The revenue…
