- Ottis, Inc., uses 640,000 plastic housing units each year in its production of paper shredders. The cost of placing an order is 30. The cost of holding one unit of inventory for one year is 15.00. Currently, Ottis places 160 orders of 4,000 plastic housing units per year. Required: 1. Compute the economic order quantity. 2. Compute the ordering, carrying, and total costs for the EOQ. 3. How much money does using the EOQ policy save the company over the policy of purchasing 4,000 plastic housing units per order?Sterling Corporation has an EOQ of 5,000 units. The company uses an average of 500 units per day. An order to replenish the part requires a lead time of five days. Required: 1. Calculate the reorder point, using Equation 20.3. 2. Graphically display the reorder point, where the vertical axis is inventory (units) and the horizontal axis is time (days). Show two replenishments, beginning at time zero with the economic order quantity in inventory. 3. What if the average usage per day of the part is 500 units but a daily maximum usage of 575 units is possible? What is the reorder point when this demand uncertainty exists?This year, Hassell Company will ship 4,000,000 pounds of chocolates to customers with total order-filling costs of 900,000. There are two types of customers: those who order 50,000 pound lots (small customers) and those who order 250,000 pound lots (large customers). Each customer category is responsible for buying 1,500,000 pounds. The selling price per pound is 2 per lb for the 50,000 pound lot and 3 per lb for the larger lots, due to differences in the type of chocolate. ABC would likely assign order-filling costs to the customer type as follows: a. 450,000, small; 450,000, large (using pounds as the driver) b. 360,000, small; 540,000, large (using revenue as the driver) c. 750,000, small; 150,000, large (using number of orders as the driver) d. 450,000, small; 450,000, large (using customer type as the driver)

- Elliott, Inc., has four salaried clerks to process purchase orders. Each clerk is paid a salary of 25,750 and is capable of processing as many as 6,500 purchase orders per year. Each clerk uses a PC and laser printer in processing orders. Time available on each PC system is sufficient to process 6,500 orders per year. The cost of each PC system is 1,100 per year. In addition to the salaries, Elliott spends 27,560 for forms, postage, and other supplies (assuming 26,000 purchase orders are processed). During the year, 25,350 orders were processed. Required: 1. Classify the resources associated with purchasing as (1) flexible or (2) committed. 2. Compute the total activity availability, and break this into activity usage and unused activity. 3. Calculate the total cost of resources supplied (activity cost), and break this into the cost of activity used and the cost of unused activity. 4. (a) Suppose that a large special order will cause an additional 500 purchase orders. What purchasing costs are relevant? By how much will purchasing costs increase if the order is accepted? (b) Suppose that the special order causes 700 additional purchase orders. How will your answer to (a) change?Ingles Corporation is a manufacturer of tables sold to schools, restaurants, hotels, and other institutions. The table tops are manufactured by Ingles, but the table legs are purchased from an outside supplier. The Assembly Department takes a manufactured table top and attaches the four purchased table legs. It takes 16 minutes of labor to assemble a table. The company follows a policy of producing enough tables to ensure that 40 percent of next months sales are in the finished goods inventory. Ingles also purchases sufficient materials to ensure that materials inventory is 60 percent of the following months scheduled production. Ingless sales budget in units for the next quarter is as follows: Ingless ending inventories in units for July 31 are as follows: Required: 1. Calculate the number of tables to be produced during August. 2. Disregarding your response to Requirement 1, assume the required production units for August and September are 2,100 and 1,900, respectively, and the July 31 materials inventory is 4,000 units. Compute the number of table legs to be purchased in August. 3. Assume that Ingles Corporation will produce 2,340 units in September. How many employees will be required for the Assembly Department in September? (Fractional employees are acceptable since employees can be hired on a part-time basis. Assume a 40-hour week and a 4-week month.) (CMA adapted)Kaune Food Products Company manufactures canned mixed nuts with an average manufacturing cost of 52 per case (a case contains 24 cans of nuts). Kaune sold 150,000 cases last year to the following three classes of customer: The supermarkets require special labeling on each can costing 0.04 per can. They order through electronic data interchange (EDI), which costs Kaune about 61,000 annually in operating expenses and depreciation. Kaune delivers the nuts to the stores and stocks them on the shelves. This distribution costs 45,000 per year. The small grocers order in smaller lots that require special picking and packing in the factory; the special handling adds 25 to the cost of each case sold. Sales commissions to the independent jobbers who sell Kaune products to the grocers average 8 percent of sales. Bad debts expense amounts to 9 percent of sales. Convenience stores also require special handling that costs 30 per case. In addition, Kaune is required to co-pay advertising costs with the convenience stores at a cost of 15,000 per year. Frequent stops are made to each convenience store by Kaune delivery trucks at a cost of 30,000 per year. Required: 1. Calculate the total cost per case for each of the three customer classes. (Round unit costs to four significant digits.) 2. Using the costs from Requirement 1, calculate the profit per case per customer class. Does the cost analysis support the charging of different prices? Why or why not? 3. What if Kaune charged the average price per case to all customer classes? How would that affect the profit percentages?
- Taylor Company produces two industrial cleansers that use the same liquid chemical input: Pocolimpio and Maslimpio. Pocolimpio uses two quarts of the chemical for every unit produced, and Maslimpio uses five quarts. Currently, Taylor has 6,000 quarts of the material in inventory. All of the material is imported. For the coming year, Taylor plans to import 6,000 quarts to produce 1,000 units of Pocolimpio and 2,000 units of Maslimpio. The detail of each products unit contribution margin is as follows: Taylor Company has received word that the source of the material has been shut down by embargo. Consequently, the company will not be able to import the 6,000 quarts it planned to use in the coming years production. There is no other source of the material. Required: 1. Compute the total contribution margin that the company would earn if it could import the 6,000 quarts of the material. 2. Determine the optimal usage of the companys inventory of 6,000 quarts of the material. Compute the total contribution margin for the product mix that you recommend. 3. Assume that Pocolimpio uses three direct labor hours for every unit produced and that Maslimpio uses two hours. A total of 6,000 direct labor hours is available for the coming year. a. Formulate the linear programming problem faced by Taylor Company. To do so, you must derive mathematical expressions for the objective function and for the materials and labor constraints. b. Solve the linear programming problem using the graphical approach. c.

What is the cost of ending inventory? What is operating income for November?Crescent Company produces stuffed toy animals; one of these is Arabeau the Cow. Each Arabeau takes 0.20 yard of fabric (white with irregular black splotches) and eight ounces of polyfiberfill. Fabric costs 3.50 per yard and polyfiberfill is 0.05 per ounce. Crescent has budgeted production of Arabeaus for the next four months as follows: Inventory policy requires that sufficient fabric be in ending monthly inventory to satisfy 20 percent of the following months production needs and sufficient polyfiberfill be in inventory to satisfy 40 percent of the following months production needs. Inventory of fabric and polyfiberfill at the beginning of October equals exactly the amount needed to satisfy the inventory policy. Each Arabeau produced requires (on average) 0.10 direct labor hour. The average cost of direct labor is 15 per hour. Required: 1. Prepare a direct materials purchases budget of fabric for the last quarter of the year showing purchases in units and in dollars for each month and for the quarter in total. 2. Prepare a direct materials purchases budget of polyfiberfill for the last quarter of the year showing purchases in units and in dollars for each month and for the quarter in total. 3.
