Bernie’s Bike Shop receives the following trade discounts: 20/15/15. The vendor’s price list indicates that 20 percent off list price is for purchasing bikes in quantities of 100 or more, 15 percent off list price is for assembling the bikes for customers, and 15 percent is for sales promotion and local advertising. If the manufacturer’s list price is $550, what should Bernie pay for each bike if he orders 110 bikes at a time, assembles the bikes, and displays and advertises them?

The Tinkan Company produces one-pound cans for the Canadian salmon industry. Each year the salmon spawn during a 24-hour period and must be canned immediately. Tinkan has the following agreement with the salmon industry. The company can deliver as many cans as it chooses. Then the salmon are caught. For each can by which Tinkan falls short of the salmon industrys needs, the company pays the industry a 2 penalty. Cans cost Tinkan 1 to produce and are sold by Tinkan for 2 per can. If any cans are left over, they are returned to Tinkan and the company reimburses the industry 2 for each extra can. These extra cans are put in storage for next year. Each year a can is held in storage, a carrying cost equal to 20% of the cans production cost is incurred. It is well known that the number of salmon harvested during a year is strongly related to the number of salmon harvested the previous year. In fact, using past data, Tinkan estimates that the harvest size in year t, Ht (measured in the number of cans required), is related to the harvest size in the previous year, Ht1, by the equation Ht = Ht1et where et is normally distributed with mean 1.02 and standard deviation 0.10. Tinkan plans to use the following production strategy. For some value of x, it produces enough cans at the beginning of year t to bring its inventory up to x+Ht, where Ht is the predicted harvest size in year t. Then it delivers these cans to the salmon industry. For example, if it uses x = 100,000, the predicted harvest size is 500,000 cans, and 80,000 cans are already in inventory, then Tinkan produces and delivers 520,000 cans. Given that the harvest size for the previous year was 550,000 cans, use simulation to help Tinkan develop a production strategy that maximizes its expected profit over the next 20 years. Assume that the company begins year 1 with an initial inventory of 300,000 cans.
Lemingtons is trying to determine how many Jean Hudson dresses to order for the spring season. Demand for the dresses is assumed to follow a normal distribution with mean 400 and standard deviation 100. The contract between Jean Hudson and Lemingtons works as follows. At the beginning of the season, Lemingtons reserves x units of capacity. Lemingtons must take delivery for at least 0.8x dresses and can, if desired, take delivery on up to x dresses. Each dress sells for 160 and Hudson charges 50 per dress. If Lemingtons does not take delivery on all x dresses, it owes Hudson a 5 penalty for each unit of reserved capacity that is unused. For example, if Lemingtons orders 450 dresses and demand is for 400 dresses, Lemingtons will receive 400 dresses and owe Jean 400(50) + 50(5). How many units of capacity should Lemingtons reserve to maximize its expected profit?
In Problem 12 of the previous section, suppose that the demand for cars is normally distributed with mean 100 and standard deviation 15. Use @RISK to determine the best order quantityin this case, the one with the largest mean profit. Using the statistics and/or graphs from @RISK, discuss whether this order quantity would be considered best by the car dealer. (The point is that a decision maker can use more than just mean profit in making a decision.)
Cryolab Inc makes and sells a lawn fertilizer called Hypergro. The company has developed standard costs for one bag of Hypergro as follows: Standard Quantity/Hours Standard Price/Rate Standard Cost per Bag Direct Material 25 pounds ₱ 0.75 ₱18.75 Direct Labor 0.25 hours ₱69.00 ₱17.30 Variable overhead 0.25 hours ₱24.00 ₱ 6.00 Total ₱42.05 The company had no beginning inventories of any kind on January 1. Variable overhead is applied to production on the basis of standard direct labor hours. During January, the following activity was recorded by the company: Production of Fastgro: 23,000 bags Direct materials purchased: 585,000 pounds at a cost of ₱436,250 Direct labor worked: 5,800 hours at a cost of ₱397,300 Variable overhead incurred: ₱140,650 Inventory of direct materials on January 31: 8,000 pounds Compute the variances and indicate whether it is FAVORABLE (F) or UNFAVORABLE (U) in your solution sheet.

Max the Tailor is going to sell custom suits. He was able to rent a garage from his Uncle Ed for $2,000 a month, which includes utilities, and he already owns the equipment he needs. He anticipates being able to sell his suits for $500 each. The raw materials (fabric, buttons, zippers, thread, etc.) will cost an average of $75 for each suit, and he plans to spend $25 per suit to advertise them. Assuming these are all the costs and revenues, what will be Max’s monthly break-even point in units? Does this seem like a reasonable amount for him to produce and sell every month? Please show your calculations.
I need a detailed explanation and assistance to solve this problem: Wineco produces wine cooler as a blend of wine, grape juice and apple juice ingredients, which it sells for $4 per gallon. The costs of ingredients are given in the following table: Cooler Ingredient Price per Gallon ($) wines 1.20 grape juice 1.40 Apple juice 0.60 Wineco owns a blending plant with a production capacity of 200 gallons per day. Because the plant is fully automated, all other production costs are negligible by comparison to the cost of ingredients, and can be ignored. Government regulations mandate that wine cooler products must satisfy the following guidelines: At least 10% of the blend produced must be grape juice. The ratio of apple juice to grape juice in the blend produced must be 2.5:1 The blend produced must contain between 20% and 25% wine. Wineco wishes to use LP in order to determine the quantities of ingredients to buy for a day’s production of wine cooler, so…
