2. Sta. Elena produces and sells wines. Their current capacity is 100,000 gallons a year. Last year, they sold 100,000 gallons of wine, 12% of which were in 60-gallon barrels, 58% in 1-gallon jugs, and 30% in 0.2- gallon bottles. The base selling price is $20 per gallon in barrels. The selling price for wine in jugs per gallon is 25% higher, while that in bottles per gallon is 40% higher. Variable cost based on the selling price is 50% for barrels, 60% for jugs, and 70% for bottles. The annual fixed expenses amount to $500,000. Management would like to know the breakeven quantity for each of the three products, the net profit for the year, as well as what strategy to implement to increase net profit, while keeping fixed costs, and variable cost ratios constant.

Ben i gures that it costs $10 each time an order is placed, and holding costs are 20 percent of the purchase price. It takes three weeks for an order to arrive. Weekly demand is 100 bottles (closed two weeks per year) with a standard deviation of 30 bottles. Ben would like to use an inventory system that minimizes inventory cost and will providea 95 percent service probability.a. What is the economic quantity for Ben to order?b. At what inventory level should he place an order?
4. If the price of the material is RO 15 per unit and the annual consumption is 4000 units, the interest and store keeping charges are 20% of the value and the cost of placing of an order and receiving the goods is RO 60, how much material should be ordered at one time? 5. Alexander pump LLC uses about 75000 valves per year and the usage is fairly constant at 6250 units per month. The valve cost of RO 1.50 per unit when bought in large quantities, and the carrying cost is estimated to be 20% of average inventory investment on an annual basis. The cost to place an order and process the delivery is RO18. It takes 45 days to receive delivery from the date of an order and a safety stock of 3250 vales is desired. You are required to determine. a. The most economical order quantity and frequency of orders. b. The most economical order quantity if the valves cost is RO 4.50 each instead of RO 1.50 each

As a prospective owner of a club known as the Red Rose, you are interested in determining the volume of sales dollars necessary for the coming year to reach the break-even point. You have decided to break down the sales for the club into four categories, the first category being beer. Your estimate of the beer sales is that 32,000 drinks will be served. The selling price for each unit will average $1.75; the cost is $0.75. The second major category is meals, which you expect to be 10,000 units with an average price of $10.00 and a cost of $5.50. The third major category is desserts and wine, of which you also expect to sell 10,000 units, but with an average price of $2.25 per unit sold and a cost of $1.25 per unit. The final category is lunches and inexpensive sandwiches, which you expect to total 22,500 units at an average price of $6.25 with a food cost of $3.50. Your fixed cost (i.e., rent, utilities, and so on) is $1,800 per month plus $2,400 per month for entertainment.…

The flowers cost the store $9.50 for each arrangement. The vase costs $8. The florists are paid $12 an hour, and they can make about three of these arrangements per hour, so labor cost is about $4 per arrangement. Rent for the store and overhead expenses for utilities and salaries for sales people and executives total about $125,000 per year. Based on market conditions and an analysis of demand, Pete expects to be able to sell 3,000 arrangements in one year. He would like to achieve a return on sales of 12%. Estimate the Break-Even point (in number of arrangements) for three prices: $60 $70 $80 Calculate the unit cost of each arrangement at three demand levels: 2,500 arrangements 3,000 arrangements 3,500 arrangements Calculate the cost-plus price based on a return of 0% and based on a return of 12%, based on Pete’s demand estimation of 3,000 arrangements per year. Would you expect flowers to be price elastic (i.e., consumers are relatively price sensitive) or…
