A bicycle component manufacturer produces hubs for bike wheels. Two processes are possible for manufacturing, and the parameters of each process are as follows: Assume that the daily demand for hubs allows all defect-free items to be sold. Additionally, defective hubs cannot be sold and their material cannot be recovered anymore. Find the process that minimizes the total cost per piece if each part is made from $4 worth of material. Both processes are fully automated, and the variable overhead cost is charges at $40 per hour.

Problem 4. In the design of an automobile engine part, an engineer has a choice ofeither steel casting or an aluminum alloy casting. Either machine provides the sameservice. However, the steel casting weighs 8 ounces, compared with 5 ounces for thealuminum casting. Every pound of extra weight in the automobile has been assigned apenalty of $6 to account for increased fuel consumption during the life cycle of the car.The steel casting costs $3.20 per pound, while the aluminum allow can be cast for $7.40per pound. Machining cost per casting are $5.00 for steel and $4.20 for aluminum.Which material should the engineer select, and what is the difference in unit costs? 1pound = 16 ounce
A vertical oil well has been drilled and completed. The productive zone is between the depths of 2,800 and 2,900 feet, you can assume there is oil in the entire thickness (gross = net). The average porosity is 10%, average water saturation is 20% and the oil formation volume factor is 1.3 RB/Stb. Other reservoirs with similar properties have drainage areas of 40 acres and the recovery factor 10.47305% (it is known with extreme precision!) a) Compute STOIIP and ultimate recovery, using the formals presented in lecture b) This well will also have a gas oil ratio (GOR) of 800 scf/bbl, how much gas is expected to be produced from this well?

Ella Ltd recently started to manufacture and sell productDG. The variable cost of product DG is £4 per unit and the totalweekly fixed costs are £18 000.The company has set the initial selling price of product DG byadding a mark up of 40 per cent to its total unit cost. It has assumedthat production and sales will be 3000 units per week.The company holds no stocks of product DG.Required:(a) Calculate for product DG:(i) the initial selling price per unit; and(ii) the resultant weekly profit. The management accountant has established that alinear relationship between the unit selling price (P in £)and the weekly demand (Q in units) for product DG isgiven by:P = 20 - 0:002QThe marginal revenue (MR in £ per unit) is related to weeklydemand (Q in units) by the equation:MR = 20 - 0:004Q(b) Calculate the selling price per unit for product DG that shouldbe set in order to maximize weekly profit.

The Cornballer, invented by George Bluth in the mid-1970s, is a device used to make cornballs. Itsold for $29.95. Suppose that 10,000 Cornballers were sold in 1981; 11,000 in 1982; and salesincreasing by 10% each year until it was last sold in 1990 (when it was made illegal). Assume aninterest rate of 12% per year. Assume sales were made at EOY. What was the worth of these cashflows in 1980? Show in standard factor notation and show the cash flow diagrams.
