Motorama TV estimates the annual demand for its TVsis (and will be in the future) normally distributed, with amean of 6,000 and standard deviation of 2,000. Motorama must determine how much production capacity it shouldhave. The cost of building enough production capacity tomake 1,000 sets per year is $1,000,000 (equivalent in presentvalue terms to a cost of $100,000 per year forever). Exclusiveof the cost of building capacity, each set sold contributes$250 to profits. How much production capacity shouldMotorama have?
A company manufactures hair dryers. It buys some of the components, but it makes the heating elements, which it can produce at the rate of 800 per day. Hair dryers are assembled daily, 250 days a year, at a rate of 300 per day. Because of the disparity between the production and usage rates, the heating elements are periodically produced in batches of 2,000 units. Approximately how many batches of heating elements are produced annually? If production on a batch begins when there is no inventory of heating elements on hand, how much inventory will be on hand two days later? The same equipment that is used to make the heating elements could also be used to make a component for another of the firm’s products. That job would require four days, including setup. Setup time for making a batch of heating elements is a half day. Is there enough time to do this job between productions of batches of heating elements? Explain.
A firm produces three products. Product A sells for $60; its variable costs are $20. Product B sells for $200; its variable costs are $120. Product C sells for $25; its variable costs are $10. Last year, the firm sold 1000 units of A 2000 units of B, and 10,000 units of C The firm has fixed costs of $320,000 per year. Calculate the break-even point of the firm.
A manufacturer has a production facility that requires 15,604 units of component JY21 per year. Following a long-term contract, the manufacturer purchases component JY21 from a supplier with a lead time of 7 days. The unit purchase cost is $25.6 per unit. The cost to place and process an order from the supplier is $121 per order. The unit inventory carrying cost per year is 10.5 percent of the unit purchase cost. The manufacturer operates 250 days a year. Assume EOQ model is appropriate. If the manufacturer uses a constant order quantity of 2,640 units per order, what is the annual holding cost? Use at least 4 decimal places.
3) A company produces a part that is used in its production process. The company produces the part at a rate of 300 units per day. The daily demand for the product is 180 units. The annual demand for the part is 54,000 units and occurs consistently over the 300 days that the company operates yearly. The company incurs a setup cost of $300 each time the item is produced. The cost of carrying the item in inventory is estimated to be 25 percent of the item's $100 cost. How many units should the company produce each production run to minimize its inventory- associated costs?
Your firm uses a periodic review system for all SKUs classified, using ABC analysis, as B or C items. Further, it uses a continuous review system for all SKUs classified as A items. The demand for a specific SKU, currently classified as an A item, has been dropping. You have been asked to evaluate the impact of moving the item from continuous review to periodic review. Assume your firm operates 52 weeks per year; the item’s current characteristics are:Demand 1D2 = 15,080 units/yearOrdering cost 1S2 = $125.00/orderHolding cost 1H2 = $3.00/unit/yearLead time 1L2 = 5 weeksCycle@service level = 95 percentDemand is normally distributed, with a standard deviation of weekly demand of 64 units.a. Calculate the item’s EOQ.b. Use the EOQ to define the parameters of an appropriate continuous review and periodic review system for this item.c. Which system requires more safety stock and by how much?
The local supermarket buys lettuce each day to ensure very fresh produce. Each morning, any lettuce that is left from the previous day is sold to a dealer that resells it to farmers who use it to feed their animals. This week, the supermarket can buy fresh lettuce for $4 a box. The lettuce is sold for $10 a box and the dealer that sells old lettuce is willing to pay $1.50 a box. Past history says that tomorrow’s demand for lettuce averages 250 boxes, with a standard deviation of 34 boxes. How many boxes of lettuce should the supermarket purchase tomorrow?
Joint Products Choi Company manufactures two skin care lotions, Smooth Skin and Silken Skin,from a joint process. The joint costs incurred are $420,000 for a standard production run that generates 180,000 pints of Smooth Skin and 120,000 pints of Silken Skin. Smooth Skin sells for $2.40 perpint, while Silken Skin sells for $3.90 per pint.Required1. Assuming that both products are sold at the split-off point, how much of the joint cost of each production run is allocated to Smooth Skin using the relative sales value method?2. If no separable costs are incurred after the split-off point, how much of the joint cost of each productionrun is allocated to Silken Skin using the physical measure method method?3. If separable processing costs beyond the split-off point are $1.40 per pint for Smooth Skin and $0.90 perpint for Silken Skin, how much of the joint cost of each production run is allocated to Silken Skin usinga net realizable value method?4.

The Delta company uses three raw materials to make cakes. Delta is trying to reduce warehousing costs and establishes three policies to that end: i) The annual number of orders for all products must be at least 20 per contractual terms with transportation providers. ii) The average inventory in units must be a maximum of 1800. iii) Because the raw material is perishable, there can never be more than 2000 units in inventory of raw material 1. Raw material 2 has a maximum allowed of 1200 units and the raw material 3 can store maximum 400 units. The following table shows the product information: Materia Demanda Costos por unidad Costo por prima (u/año) ordenar ($) 2200 2 300 2 500 4 650 3 3000 10 100 Consider an interest rate of 10% per year.
