Lander Parts, Inc., produces various automobile parts. In one plant, Lander has a manufacturing cell with the theoretical capability to produce 450,000 fuel pumps per quarter. The conversion cost per quarter is 9,000,000. There are 150,000 production hours available within the cell per quarter. Required: 1. Compute the theoretical velocity (per hour) and the theoretical cycle time (minutes per unit produced). 2. Compute the ideal amount of conversion cost that will be assigned per subassembly. 3. Suppose the actual time required to produce a fuel pump is 40 minutes. Compute the amount of conversion cost actually assigned to each unit produced. What happens to product cost if the time to produce a unit is decreased to 25 minutes? How can a firm encourage managers to reduce cycle time? Finally, discuss how this approach to assigning conversion cost can improve delivery time. 4. Assuming the actual time to produce one fuel pump is 40 minutes, calculate MCE. How much non-value-added time is being used? How much is it costing per unit? 5. Cycle time, velocity, MCE, conversion cost per unit (theoretical conversion rate actual conversion time), and non-value-added costs are all measures of performance for the cell process. Discuss the incentives provided by these measures.
Caduceus Company is considering the purchase of a new piece of factory equipment that will cost $565,000 and will generate $135,000 per year for 5 years. Calculate the IRR for this piece of equipment. For further instructions on internal rate of return In Excel, see Appendix C.
Dimitri Designs has capacity to produce 30,000 desk chairs per year and is currently selling all 30,000 for $240 each. Country Enterprises has approached Dimitri to buy 800 chairs for $210 each. Dimitris normal variable cost is $165 per chair, including $50 per unit in direct labor per chair. Dimitri can produce the special order on an overtime shift, which means that direct labor would be paid overtime at 150% of the normal pay rate. The annual fixed costs will be unaffected by the special order and the contract will not disrupt any of Dimitris other operations. What will be the impact on profits of accepting the order?
Gent Designs requires three units of part A for every unit of Al that it produces. Currently, part A is made by Gent, with these per-unit costs in a month when 4.000 units were produced: Variable manufacturing overhead is applied at $1.00 per unit. The other $0.30 of overhead consists of allocated fixed costs. Gent will need 6,000 units of part A for the next years production. Cory Corporation has offered to supply 6,000 units of part A at a price of $7.00 per unit. It Gent accepts the offer, all of the variable costs and $1,200 of the fixed costs will be avoided. Should Gent Designs accept the offer from Cory Corporation?
Heyden Motion Solutions ordered $7 million worth of seamless tubes for manufacturing their high performance and precision linear motion products. If their annual operating costs are $860,000 per year, how much annual revenue is required over a 3-year planning period to recover the initial investment and operating costs at the company’s MARR of 15% per year?
Suppose that a manufacturer plans to produce 78,000 units of product duringa year. A lot of size L, to be determined, is to be made periodically, andevery time a lot is made, it is necessary to set up the appropriate machineryand other production facilities before production starts. The set up cost is thena fixed cost incurred for each lot produced and it is determined as $ 200. Whenproduction commences , the cost of making a unit is constant at $ 7.5 per unit.Inventory cost is to be determined on the basis that it costs $ 0.50 per year tocarry one unit in inventory. Also find how many lots the manufacturerwould make per year and each lot would be produced in how manydays ?.
Chambers Company has just gathered estimates forconducting a breakeven analysis for a new product.Variable costs are $7 a unit. The additional plant willcost $48,000. The new product will be charged $18,000a year for its share of general overhead. Advertisingexpenditures will be $80,000, and $55,000 will be spenton distribution. If the product sells for $12, what is thebreakeven point in units? What is the breakeven pointin dollar sales volume?
Aria Acoustics, Incorporated (AA), projects unit sales for a new 7-octave voice emulation implant as follows: Year Unit Sales 1 2 3 4 5 74,400 79,800 85,400 82,700 69,500 Production of the implants will require $1,480,000 in net working capital to start and additional net working capital investments each year equal to 15 percent of the projected sales increase for the following year. Total fixed costs are $3,800,000 per year, variable production costs are $143 per unit, and the units are priced at $325 each. The equipment needed to begin production has an installed cost of $18,500,000. Because the implants are intended for professional singers, this equipment is considered industrial machinery and thus qualifies as 7-year MACRS property. In five years, this equipment can be sold for about 20 percent of its acquisition cost. The tax rate is 23 percent and the required return is 17 percent. (MACRS schedule) a. NPV b. IRR a.

Goldberg Company currently manufactures 52,000 units per year of a key component for its manufacturing process. Variable costs are $4.05 per unit, fixed costs related to making this component are $69,000 per year, and allocated fixed costs are $70,500 per year. The allocated fixed costs are unavoidable whether the company makes or buys this component. The company is considering buying this component from a supplier for $3.70 per unit. Calculate the total incremental cost of making 52,000 units and buying 52,000 units. Should it continue to manufacture the component, or should it buy this component from the outside supplier?
