A custom yacht-building company uses activity-based pricing. The company’s annual activity pools and related information follow: Cost Pool Estimated Cost Cost Driver Driver Quantity Design $2,500,000 Number of designs 80 designs Production 4,000,000 Labor hours 125,000 labor hours Customer service 80,000 Number of customers 20 customers The pricing structure is to charge customers for the cost of the services that are provided. One particular customer requested 2 different designs which led to the production of one yacht which took 2,400 labor hours to complete. What additional costs will be charged to this customer? I had 143,300 as the final answer but want to double check. Thank you.

An automobile manufacturer wants to award contracts for the supply of four different fuel injection system components. Four contracts have submitted bids on the components; the Table below summarizes the prices bid per unit. Where no entry is made, the contractor submitted no bid. Component Contractor 1 2 3 4 1 $25 - $30 $40 2 $28 $80 $28 - 3 - $75 $33 - 4 $30 $82 - $42 Demand (units) 15,000 30,000 10,000 20,000 The demand for a component does not have to be supplied completely by one contractor. In fact, certain contractors have indicated maximum quantities that can be supplied at the bid price. Contractor 1 can supply no more than 18,000 of item 4, contractor 2 no more than 3,000 of item 1, contractor 4 no more than 15,000 units of item 2 and no more than 5,000 of item 4. There is no provision that awards must go to the low bidder. The automobile manufacturer wants to determine how many units of each…

Assume the maximum demand for Super is 600,000 barrels. What is the optimal maximum profit? Hints: There are six decision variables are as follows: R1: # of barrels of ingredient 1 used in Regular fuel R2: # of barrels of ingredient 2 used in Regular fuel R3: # of barrels of ingredient 3 used in Regular fuel S1: # of barrels of ingredient 1 used in Super fuel S2: # of barrels of ingredient 2 used in Super fuel S3: # of barrels of ingredient 3 used in Super fuel Some calculations you would need in the constraints: The total # of barrels for Regular would be R1+R2+R3. The total # of barrels for Super would be S1+S2+S3. The total # of barrels of Ingredient 1 would be R1+S1. The total # of barrels of Ingredient 2 would be R2+S2. The total # of barrels of Ingredient 3 would be R3+S3.
Klein Chemicals, Inc., produces a special oil-based material that is currently in short supply. Four of Klein's customers have already placed orders that together exceed the combined capacity of Klein's two plants. Klein's management faces the problem of deciding how many units it should supply to each customer. Because the four customers are in different industries, different prices can be charged because of the various industry pricing structures. However, slightly different production costs at the two plants and varying transportation costs between the plants and customers make a "sell to the highest bidder" strategy unacceptable. After considering price, production costs, and transportation costs, Klein established the following profit per unit for each plant-customer alternative. Plant Customer D1 1 D2 2 D3 3 D4 4 Clifton Springs 1 $32 $34 $32 $40 Danville 2 $34 $30 $28 $38 The plant capacities and customer orders are as follows. Plant Capacity…

An oil company wants to decide how to allocate its budget. The government grants certain tax breaks if the company invests funds in research concerned with energy conservation. However, the government stipulates that at least 35 percent of the funds must be funneled into research for automobile efficiency (methanol fuel research and emission reduction). The company has a budget of $4 million for investment. The research proposal data are shown in the following table. Maximum Investment Annual Return Project Allowed on Investment ______________________________________________________________ Methanol fuel research $900,000 4.5% Emission reduction $485,000 4.0% Solar cells $800,000 4.0% Windmills $650,000 3.8%…
