- Tennis Products, Inc., produces three models of high-quality tennis rackets. The following table contains recent information on the sales, costs, and profitability of the three models: MODEL AVERAGEQUANTITYSOLD (UNITS/MONTH) CURRENTPRICE TOTALREVENUE VARIABLECOST PERUNIT CONTRIBUTIONMARGIN PERUNIT CONTRIBUTIONMARGIN* A B C Total 15,000 5,000 10,000 $30 35 45 $450,000 175,000 450,000 $1,075,000 $15.00 18.00 20.00 $15 17 25 $225,000 85,000 250,000 $560,000 *Contribution to fixed costs and profits.The company is considering lowering the price of Model A to $27 in an effort to increase the number of units sold. Based on the results of price changes that have been instituted in the past, Tennis Products’ chief economist estimates the arc price elasticity of demand to be –2.5. Furthermore, she estimates the arc cross elasticity of demand between Model A and Model B to be approximately 0.5 and between Model A and Model C to be approximately 0.2. Variable costs…Problem 6Cannes Croissants (not a real company) wishes to determine the optimum production quantity for its topselling product, almond croissants. The annual demandfor almond croissants is 12,000 units. The setup costs fora production run of the croissants is US$15. The holdingcost per unit per year is US$0.50. Production is mostefficient when 80 croissants are produced per day. Thecompany operates 300 days during a year.a What is the economic production quantity (EPQ)?b How many production runs will there by per year?c What is the maximum inventory level?d What is the total annual cost (in US dollars)?e What is the length of a production run in days?Refer to (Total Time = 20 minutes (VA time) + 10 minutes (NVA time) = 30 minutes; Total Cost = $11.67 (VA cost) + $5.417 (NVA cost) = $17.087) the restaurant value stream map, and recompute the total value-added and non-value-added time and cost given the following new information. The chef's time is valued at $30 per hour, oven operation at $10 per hour, precooking order waiting time at $5 per hour, and postcooking order waiting time at $60 per hour. The $60 estimate reflects the cost of poor quality for a dinner waiting too long that might be delivered to the customer late (and cold). If a restaurant uses iPads to place orders and notify waiters when the customer's order is ready, the time on the order board (now an electronic order board) decreases from five to four minutes, and the prepared order wait time decreases from five to two minutes. Round your answer for the total revised time to the nearest whole number and round your answer for the total revised cost to three decimal…
- Pls help with below homework. Mimi's is developing a Fiery Habanero muffin, which will NOT compete with anything Mimi's currently offers. Unit contribution margin for the new Fiery Habanero muffin would be $3.38. Contribution margin for the company's Banana Nut muffin is $3.25 per unit. Mimi's expects to sell 45,000 units of the new muffin, if it is introduced. Compute weighted contribution margin for the new muffin. (Rounding: penny.)Problem 1. During your first month as an employee at Greenfield Industries (a large drill-bitmanufacturer), you are asked to evaluate alternatives for producing a newly designed drill bit on aturning machine. Your boss’ memorandum to you has practically no information about what thealternatives are and what criteria should be used. The same task was posed to a previous employeewho could not finish the analysis, but she has given you the following information: An old turningmachine valued at $350,000 exists (in the warehouse) that can be modified for the new drill bit.The in-house technicians have given an estimate of $40,000 to modify this machine, and they assureyou that they will have the machine ready before the projected start date (although they havenever done any modifications of this type). It is hoped that the old turning machine will be able tomeet production requirements at full capacity.

- Suppose we know that p=1,056– D/5, where p = price in dollars and D = annual demand. The total cost per year can be approximated by $1,000 + 2D2 . a.Determine the value of D that maximizes profit. b.Show that in part(a) profit has been maximized rather than minimized. c. Find the maximum profitJohnson Controls spent more than $2.5 millionretrofitting a government complex and installing acomputerized energy-management system for theState of Massachusetts. As a result, the state’s energybill dropped from an average of $6 million a yearto $3.5 million. Moreover, both parties will benefitfrom the 10-year life of the contract. Johnson recovers half the money it saved in reduced utility costs(about $1.2 million a year over 10 years); Massachusetts has more money to spend on other things. Whatis the rate of return realized by Johnson Controls inthis energy-control system?Transportation costs per ton of product vary with distance. For trucks the function is: TCt = 3 + 1.25d For rail it is: TCr = 5 + d For barge it is: TCb = 6 + 1.1d where d is the distance in hundreds of miles and TC is dollars per ton. Make a table showing the least cost mode of transport for distances d = 1, 2, ...,10. Graph the problem and label the modal break points clearly.
