K Southeastern Oklahoma State University's business program has the facilities and faculty to handle an enrollment of 2,000 new students per semester. However, in an effort to limit class sizes to a "reasonable" level (under 200, generally), Southeastern's dean, Holly Lutze, placed a ceiling on enrollment of 1,500 new students. Although there was ample demand for business courses last semester, conflicting schedules allowed only 1,420 new students to take business courses. The utilization rate for Southeastern =% (enter your response as a percentage rounded to one decimal place).

Thomas Pang Furniture produced 70,000 Executive chairs per week. The effective capacity is 71,000 chairs. The production line operates 5 days per week with two 6-hour shifts per day. The line was designed to process the Executive chairs at the rate of 1,200 per hour. Determine the design capacity, utilization and efficiency for this plant when producing the Executive chair. Thomas Pang Furniture now needs to increase production of the Executive chairs. A second production line will be added. Effective capacity on this second line is the same as the first line at 71,000 Executive chairs. The first line is operating at a higher efficiency but output on the second line will be no more than 75% because the crew will be primarily new hires. Determine the expected output of this second line.
Cost Allocation Problem The housekeeping services department of Ruger Clinic, amultispecialty practice, had $100,000 in direct costs in 2020. These costs must be allocated to Ruger’s three revenue-producing patient services departments using the direct method. Two cost drivers are under consideration: patient services revenue and hours of housekeeping services used. The patient services departments generated $5 million in total revenues during 2020, and to supportthese clinical activities, they used 5,000 hours of housekeeping services. What is the value of the cost pool? What is the allocation ratio if patient services revenue is used as the cost driver? hours of housekeeping services is used as the cost driver? Assume that the three patient services departments are adult services, pediatric services, and other services. The patient services revenue and hours of housekeeping services for each department are as follows: Department Revenue…

Southeastern Airlines's daily flight from Atlanta toCharlotte uses a Boeing 737, with all-coach seating for 120 people.In the past, the airline has priced every seat at $140 for theone-way flight. An average of 80 passengers are on each flight.The variable cost of a filled seat is $25. Aysajan Eziz, the newoperations manager, has decided to try a yield revenue approach,with seats priced at $80 for early bookings and at $190 for bookingswithin 1 week of the flight. He estimates that the airline willsell65 seats at the lower price and 35 at the higher price. Variablecost will not change. Which approach is preferable to Mr. Eziz?

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.
