The Rolling Creek Textile Mill produces denim. The fixed monthly cost is $21,000, and the variable cost per yard of denim is $0.45. The mill sells a yard of denim for $1.30. If the maximum operating capacity of the Rolling Creek Textile Mill is 25,000 yards of denim per month, determine the break-even volume as a percentage of capacity.
Cluck Farms, Inc. produces a crop of chickens at a total cost of $66,000. The production generates 60,000 chickens that can be sold for $1.50 each to a slaughtering company, or the chickens can be slaughtered in house and then sold for $2.75 each.

Georgia Cabinets manufactures kitchen cabinets that are sold to local dealers throughout the Southeast. Because of a large backlog of orders for oak and cherry cabinets, the company decided to contract with three smaller cabinetmakers to do the final finishing operation. For the three cabinetmakers, the number of hours required to complete all the oak cabinets, the number of hours required to complete all the cherry cabinets, the number of hours available for the final finishing operation, and the cost per hour to perform the work are shown here: Cabinetmaker 1 Cabinetmaker 2 Cabinetmaker 3 Hours required to complete all the oak cabinets 50 44 32 Hours required to complete all the cherry cabinets 61 46 34 Hours available 35 25 30 Cost per hour $36 $43 $56 For example, Cabinetmaker 1 estimates that it will take 50 hours to complete all the oak cabinets and 61 hours to complete all the cherry cabinets. However, Cabinetmaker 1 only has 35 hours available for the final…

A real estate agent is considering changing her land line phone plan. There are three plans to choose from, all of which involve a monthly service charge of $20. Plan A has a cost of $.43 a minute for daytime calls and $.18 a minute for evening calls. Plan B has a charge of $.53 a minute for daytime calls and $.15 a minute for evening calls. Plan C has a flat rate of $80 with 250 minutes of calls allowed per month and a charge of $.40 per minute beyond that, day or evening. a. Determine the total charge under each plan for this case: 140 minutes of day calls and 60 minutes of evening calls in a month. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) b. If the agent will only use the service for daytime calls, over what range of call minutes will each plan be optimal? (Round each answer to the nearest whole number. Include the indifference point itself in each answer.) c. Suppose that the agent expects both daytime and evening calls. At what point…
The Chewy Candy Company would like to determine an aggregate production plan for the next six months. The company makes many different types of candy but feels it can plan its total production in pounds provided that the mix of candy sold does not change too drastically. At the present time, the Chewy Company has 70 workers and 9000 pounds of candy in inventory. Each worker can produce 100 pounds of candy a month and is paid $19 an hour (use 160 hours of regular time per month). Overtime, at a pay rate of 150 percent of regular time, can be used up to a maximum of 20 percent in addition to regular time in any month. It costs 80 cents to store a pound of candy for a year, $1,200 to hire a worker, and $1,500 to lay off a worker. The forecast sales for the next six months are 8000, 10,000, 12,000, 8000, 6000, and 5000 pounds of candy. a.Determine the costs of a level production strategy for the next six months, with an ending inventory of 8000 pounds. b.Determine the costs of a chase…

A fixed cost of $50 thousand was incurred in setting up an operation. At time t months thereafter, the operation yields income at the rate of (20 - 0.3t) and incurs expense at the rate of (10 - 0.1t), where both rates are in thousands of dollars per month. What is the optimal time to terminate the operation? What will total profit be at the optimal time of termination?
