Data for a new product that is very labor intensive introduced by Hicks Brothers in the operation in Hendersonville, TN, is given below. The average labor cost including overhead expenses is about $20 per hour. If production time required for the first unit is 10 hours, and the operation has a 95% learning curve, what is the cumulative (i.e. total) time for 10 units to be made? Group of answer choices 103.43 hrs 30.69 hrs 89.56 hrs 501.40 hrs
Samantha Ross is the procurement manager for the headquarters of a large Financial company chain with a central inventory operation. Ross’ quick-moving inventory item has a demand of 7,000 units per year. Each unit cost $120, and the inventory holding cost is $15 per unit per year. The average ordering cost is $31 per order. It takes about 6 days for an order to arrive. (This is a corporate operation, and there are 250 working days per year.) a) What is the average inventory if the EOQ is used? b) What is the optimal number of orders per year?
ENGINEERING ECONOMY RATE WILL BE GIVEN. WRITE THE COMPLETE SOLUTIONS/EXPLANATION LEGIBLY OR TYPEWRITTEN. GIVE STRAIGHT TO THE POINT EXPLANATION. Your company presently uses a crew of its own employees for all major maintenance. On average, 44 major repairs are performed each year at 20 lost production hours per repair. Keeping the crew costs $1,300,000 per year plus any lost production cost. Lost production costs are estimated at $2,500 per hour. Your company is considering replacing its in-house maintenance work with an outside company (Ajax) working under an annual maintenance contract. This proposal will pay Ajax $2,180,000 per year but your company will still have to pay for all lost production time. Ajax claims that the time per repair will decrease because of the contractors’ substantial maintenance experience. Assuming the number of major repairs and the cost of lost production time remain the same, how much time per repair is the maximum allowable for Ajax to be the…

1. A service station uses 2500 oil filters during the course of a year, and this usage is constant throughout the year. These oil filters are purchased from a supplier 100 miles away for $15 each, and the lead time is 2 days. The holding cost per oil filter per year is $1.50 (or 10% of the unit cost) and the ordering cost is $18.75. There are 250 working days per year. a) What is the service station's optimal order quantity and total annual cost of inventory?
A company is analyzing a make-versus-purchase situation for a component used in several products, and the engineering department has developed these data: Option A: Purchase 10,000 items per year at a fixed price of $8.50 per item. The cost of placing the order is negligible according to the present cost accounting procedure. Option B: Manufacture 10,000 items per year, using available capacity in the factory. Cost estimates are direct materials = $5.00 per item and direct labor = $1.50 per item. Manufacturing overhead is allocated at 200% of direct labor (= $3.00 per item). Based on these data, should the item be purchased or manufactured?
ENGINEERING ECONOMY RATE WILL BE GIVEN. WRITE THE COMPLETE SOLUTIONS/EXPLANATION LEGIBLY OR TYPEWRITTEN. GIVE STRAIGHT TO THE POINT EXPLANATION. Two alternative designs are under consideration for a tapered fastening pin. The fastening pins are sold for $0.70 each. Either design will serve equally well and will involve the same material and manufacturing cost except for the lathe and drill operations. Design A will require 12 hours of lathe time and 5 hours of drill time per 1,000 units. Design B will require 7 hours of lathe time and 8 hours of drill time per 1,000 units. The variable operating cost of the lathe, including labor, is $18.60 per hour. The variable operating cost of the drill, including labor, is $16.90 per hour. Finally, there is a sunk cost of $5,000 for Design A and $9,000 for Design B due to obsolete tooling. a. Which design should be adopted if 125,000 units are sold each year?b. What is the annual saving over the other design?
