Dennison Manufacturing makes large helical springs used inaircraft landing gear. The company has narrowed its potentialchoices for its new manufacturing facility to four cities. Thefollowing information is known about the manufacturing andshipping costs of locating in each of these four cities: a. Use break-even point analysis to determine where Den-nison should locate.b. Based solely on break-even quantity, if Dennison’s manu-facturing forecast for the foreseeable future is 40,000 unitsannually, where should he locate?

Question 1: A Canadian company was able until now to meet the demand of its customers from its factory located in the Quebec region. Strong sales growth, however, is forecasted for next year in the two markets served by the company (1:Eastern Quebec, 2: Western Quebec). The company, therefore, is considering the construction of another plant for which two potential sites have been identified: one in Rimouski and the other in Longueuil. The collected data are provided in Table below. Quebec plant Rimouski platform Longueuil platform Potential market (ton) Transportation costs ($ per ton) Market 1 Market 2 600 400 200 700 700 1000 300 800 Production cost Capacity Fixed cost ($ per ton) $3800 $3500 $3600 (ton) 1000 1000 1000 ($1000) $4000 $5900 $6200 Products sold can be grouped in a single family and the average sale price of the products of this family is $50,000 per ton on both markets.

9.    The Stone River Textile Mill was inspected by OSHA and found to be in violation of a number of safety regulations. The OSHA inspectors ordered the mill to alter some existing machinery to make it safer (e.g., add some safety guards); purchase some new machinery to replace older, dangerous machinery; and relocate some machinery to make safer passages and unobstructed entrances and exits. OSHA gave the mill only 35 weeks to make the changes; if the changes were not made by then, the mill would be fined $300,000. The mill determined the activities that would have to be completed and then estimated the indicated activity times, as shown in the table below.
