E4 ACME Corporation produces a variety of products for its diverse customer base, including the jet-powered pogo stick and jet-propelled tennis shoes, both of which are essential for catching roadrunners. Currently, they produce 40,000 engines per year that are used in the production of these two products. As the production manager for thisproduct line, you have determined that last year’s costs to produce the engines included: $99,600 in direct material expenses, $298,800 in direct labor expenses, $224,100 in variable overhead costs (i.e. power to operate the equipment), and $116,200 in fixed overhead costs (i.e. utilities to keep the factory operational). ACME plans to produce these engines only for the next 6 years. If they produce the engines in-house, they anticipate that direct material costs will increase at a rate of 5% each year. Further, they anticipate that labor costs will increase at a rate of 6% per year and variable overhead costs will increase at a rate of 3% per year.…
To automate one of its production processes, theMilwaukee Corporation bought three flexible manufacturing cells at a price of $400,000 each. Whenthey were delivered, Milwaukee paid freight chargesof $20,000 and handling fees of $15,000. Site preparation for these cells cost $45,000. Six foremen, eachearning $20 an hour, worked five 40-hour weeks toset up and test the manufacturing cells. Special wiring and other materials applicable to the new manufacturing cells cost $3,500. Determine the cost basis(amount to be capitalized) for these cells.
Andria Mullins, financial manager of Webster Electronics, has been asked by the firm's CEO, Fred Weygandt, to evaluate the company's inventory control techniques and to lead a discussion of the subject with the senior executives. Andria plans to use as an example one of Webster's "big ticket" items, a customized computer microchip which the firm uses in its laptop computer. Each chip costs Webster P200, and in addition it must pay its supplier a P1,000 fee on each order. Further, the minimum order size is 250 units; Webster's annual usage forecast is 5,000 units; and the annual carrying cost of this item is estimated to be 20 percent of the average inventory unit cost. Andria plans to begin her session with the senior executives by reviewing some basic inventory concepts, after which she will apply the EOQ model to Webster's microchip inventory. Question: What is the formula for the total costs of carrying and ordering inventory? and then use the formula to derive the EOQ model.

W7 Q5 A paper published in the Harvard Business Review points out a new way to calculate economic profit that could be more appropriate for service firms and other people-intensive companies. Instead of focusing on investment and return on investment, the focus is on employee productivity, in terms of both generating revenues and reducing costs. The approach is to first determine economic profit in the conventional way, except that we ignore taxes, so that economic profit is before tax, as follows: Economic profit = Operating profit − Capital charge Assume the following information for a hotel chain that wishes to adopt the new method. The firm has $100 million in operating profit, has $1 billion in investment, and uses a cost of capital rate of 5%, so the capital charge is $50 million and the economic profit is $50 million. Relevant calculations are contained in Part 1 of the following schedule: Part 1: Economic Profit (in thousands, except cost of capital rate) Revenue…
