- Scenario 3 Ben Gibson, the purchasing manager at Coastal Products, was reviewing purchasing expenditures for packaging materials with Jeff Joyner. Ben was particularly disturbed about the amount spent on corrugated boxes purchased from Southeastern Corrugated. Ben said, I dont like the salesman from that company. He comes around here acting like he owns the place. He loves to tell us about his fancy car, house, and vacations. It seems to me he must be making too much money off of us! Jeff responded that he heard Southeastern Corrugated was going to ask for a price increase to cover the rising costs of raw material paper stock. Jeff further stated that Southeastern would probably ask for more than what was justified simply from rising paper stock costs. After the meeting, Ben decided he had heard enough. After all, he prided himself on being a results-oriented manager. There was no way he was going to allow that salesman to keep taking advantage of Coastal Products. Ben called Jeff and told him it was time to rebid the corrugated contract before Southeastern came in with a price increase request. Who did Jeff know that might be interested in the business? Jeff replied he had several companies in mind to include in the bidding process. These companies would surely come in at a lower price, partly because they used lower-grade boxes that would probably work well enough in Coastal Products process. Jeff also explained that these suppliers were not serious contenders for the business. Their purpose was to create competition with the bids. Ben told Jeff to make sure that Southeastern was well aware that these new suppliers were bidding on the contract. He also said to make sure the suppliers knew that price was going to be the determining factor in this quote, because he considered corrugated boxes to be a standard industry item. As the Marketing Manager for Southeastern Corrugated, what would you do upon receiving the request for quotation from Coastal Products?Q3)) A firm has established a distribution network for the supply of a raw material critical to its manufacturing Currently there are three origins for this raw material, which must be shipped to three manufacturing plants.

Calculate the cost of this solution. (b) Calculate the solution using intuitive lowest cost method. Calculate the cost of this solution. (c) Using the solution in (c), calculate improvement indices, iterate once. Can you achieve a better solution? If yes, what is the cost of this solution?Brewery Ipana Oy has found some potential long-time partners in the restaurant business. To optimize the supply chain, the company is negotiating for contracts that would allow all production in the coming years to be sold to these partners. The contracts aim to shift production to 20 liter barrels of beer, which would become the sole product of Ipana Oy. In case the negotiations are successful, Ipana Oy estimates its typical year would look as follows: the quantity shipped to the customer is 18000 units at a price of 300 €/unit. The gross profit percentage is 40 % and the yearly fixed costs are 1500000 €. (Additional text: The variable cost per unit [€/unit] for products that would be produced in the scenario above is 180 [€/unit].) Question: Calculate the critical sales price in the estimate [€/product].

The manager ofproductions and operations has three possible locations to choose from. His assistantrecommends that he use break-even analysis location technique to help determine whichlocation is best based on costs. Assuming: Total fixed cost = 80,000 Price per unit= 20 AVC (Average variable cost) = 40 Break-even point= Total fixed cost / (AVC-Price per unit) Break-even point = 80,000/ (40-20) Break-even point = 4,000 1) Demonstrate to the OM manager using graph how to go about choosing the best location using thenumerical example designed above.
