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. Is Ben Gibson acting legally? Is he acting ethically? Why or why not?

7. SBS Juices sell orange juice. Every morning (7am) the manager has to decide on the amount (liter) of juice to make for customers arriving between 8am and 9am. Demand for the juice follows a normal distribution with a mean of 20 liters per day and a standard deviation of 5 liters per day. Price per liter is $48.067, material cost per liter is $40, and salvage value per liter is $10. What is the optimal level of juice to make each morning to maximize expected profit?

Radiant wants to hire Cargo planes for transporting their goods. They contacted VIP Transportation Company to hire Cargo planes. VIP informed that they can provide two types of Cargo Planes. In addition, they provided the following cost related information about the two types Cargo planes- WT88 and BH54: Personnel Cost Fuel Cost Maintenance Cost WT88 2000 1000 2000 BH54 2500 1500 1000 Radiant has $200,000 to spend in personnel cost, $160,000 in fuel cost, and $80,000 in maintenance cost. Moreover, they have to hire at least two of each type of planes.

Susan manages the packaging supplies for the New Zealand distributorship of AllBirds product lines. It;s her job to order all the shoe boxes that house each pair of shoes (whether going to retail stores, or shipping directly to consumers via the online store). She purchases shoe boxes from a local printing supplier. The NZ distributor ships on average 325 boxes of shoes each month. Boxes cost $2.25 each, and each order costs $18 to process. Because of limited storage space, Susan's manager wants to charge inventory holding at 25% of the unit cost. The lead time is 7 days. Assume 360 working days per year. Calculate the following: a. Economic order Wuantity b. Reorder Point (assuming no safety stocks) c.Number of orders-per-Year d.Total annual cost e.If storage space was so limited, Susan estimates that inventory holding cots would only be 15% of unit cost. How would that change total annual costs?
