Please do not give solution in image format thanku In 2018, the government of Ghana launched operation one district one factory (IDIE). Based on IDIF, Ekumfi Pineapple Factory Co. Ltd (EPF) was launched. In 2019 the management of ERF started production with 100 workers per shift, each of the three shifts working 8 hours per day. Every working day the payroll cost was GHIC 20,000 and overhead expenses amounted to GHC 5000 and material cost GHC 4000. At the end of the first year, the company produced 1,000,000 boxes of pineapple juice. During the second year, EPF acquired a loan from Exim Bank to purchase a new plant. After the introduction of the new plant, the management reduced the size of its workers per shift to 80, each working 8 hours per day, with the payroll cost reducing to GHC 18,000 and overhead expenses also reducing to GHC 4000 and material cost rising to GHC 6000. Production rose to 1,200,000 boxes. Regard yourself as the Operations Manager of EPF: a) What are the…
Focus on the difference between feasible alternatives (Principle 2)! Insulated concrete forms (ICF) can be used as a substitute for conventional wood framing in building construction. Heating and cooling bills will be about 50% less than in a similar wood-framed building in upstate New York. An ICF home will be approximately 10% more expensive to construct than a wood-framed home. For a typical 2,000 ft2 home costing $120 per ft2 to construct in upstate New York and costing $200 per month to heat and cool, how many months does it take for a 2,000 ft2 ICF home to pay back its extra construction cost?

You have been asked to estimate the cost of 100 prefabricated structures to be sold to a local school district. Each structure provides 1,000 square feet offloor space, with 8-feet ceilings. In 1999, you produced 70 similar structures consistingof the same materials and having the same ceiling height, but each provided only 800square feet of floor space. The material cost for each structure was $25,000 in 1999, andthe cost capacity factor is 0.65. The cost index values for 1999 and 2006 are 200 and 289,respectively. The estimated manufacturing cost for the first 1,000-square-foot structureis $12,000. Assume a learning curve of 88% and use the cost of the 50th structure asyour standard time for estimating manufacturing cost. Estimate the total material costand the total manufacturing cost for the 100 prefabricated structures.

“How many dozen should I put in the proofer?” asked Elizabeth, the new baker at the Sands Cafeteria. Rami El‐Hussieny was the day shift operations manager, and, unfortunately, he did not know how to answer Elizabeth's question. What she wanted to know was simple enough: How many dozen rolls should be placed in the proofer in anticipation of the night's dinner business? The problem was that the frozen dinner roll dough used at the Sands Cafeteria needed to be proof for at least 2 hours prior to being baked for 15 minutes. If too many rolls were proofed, they would never be needed, but they would still have to be baked and made into bread dressing or even tossed out. If too few dozen were proofed and the night was busier than anticipated, they would run out of “Fresh Baked Rolls” (one of the restaurant's signature items), and Rami knew that the night manager would be really upset. It was a daily guess, and sometimes Rami missed the guess! He wondered if a prebaked roll with a shelf life…
