Break-even analysis Somerset Inc. has finished a new video game, Snowboard Challenge. Management is now considering its marketing strategies. The following information is available: Anticipated sales price per unit 80 Variable cost per unit 35 Anticipated volume 1,000,000 units Production costs 20,000,000 Anticipated advertising 15,000,000 The cost of the video game, packaging, and copying costs. Two managers, James Hamilton and Thomas Seymour, had the following discussion of ways to increase the profitability of this new offering: James: I think we need to think of some way to increase our profitability Do you have any ideas? Thomas: Well, I think the best strategy would be to become aggressive on price. James: How aggressive? Thomas: If we drop the price to 60 per unit and maintain our advertising budget at 15,000,000, I think we will generate total sales of 2.000,000 units. James: I think thats the wrong way to go. Youre giving too much up on price. Instead, I think we need to follow an aggressive advertising strategy Thomas: How aggressive? James: If we increase our advertising to a total of 25,000,000, we should be able to increase sales volume to 1,400.000 units without any change in price. Thomas: I dont think thats reasonable. Well never cover the increased advertising costs. Which strategy is best: Do nothing? Follow the advice of Thomas Seymour? Or follow James Hamiltons strategy?
Refer to Exercise 20.10. Assume the economic lot size for small casings is 120,000 and that of the large casings is 40,000. Morrison Manufacturing sells an average of 9,600 small casings per workday and an average of 3,200 large casings per workday. It takes Morrison two days to set up the equipment for small or large casings. Once set up, it takes three workdays to produce a batch of small casings and five days for large casings. There are 250 workdays available per year. Required: 1. What is the reorder point for small casings? Large casings? 2. Using the economic order batch size, is it possible for Morrison to produce the amount that can be sold of each casing? Does scheduling have a role here? Explain. Is this a push- or pull-through system approach to inventory management? Explain.

(Appendix 11A) Cycle Time, Velocity, Conversion Cost The theoretical cycle time for a product is 30 minutes per unit. The budgeted conversion costs for the manufacturing cell are 2,700,000 per year. The total labor minutes available are 600,000. During the year, the cell was able to produce 1.5 units of the product per hour. Suppose also that production incentives exist to minimize unit product costs. Required: 1. Compute the theoretical conversion cost per unit. 2. Compute the applied conversion cost per unit (the amount of conversion cost actually assigned to the product). 3. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Discuss how this approach to assigning conversion costs can improve delivery time performance.
