The Adam Company manufactures a special line of graphic tubing items. The company estimates it will sell 750,000 units of this item in 2020. The beginning finished goods inventory contains 200,000 units. The target for each year's ending inventory is 100,000 units. Each unit requires five feet of plastic tubing. The tubing inventory currently includes 700,000 feet of the required tubing. Materials on hand are targeted to equal three months' production. Any shortage in materials will be made up by the immediate purchase of materials. Sales take place evenly throughout the year. What is the production budget (in units) for 2020?

The Silver Star Bicycle Company will manufacture both mens and womens models for its Easy-Pedal bicycles during the next two months. Management wants to develop a production schedule indicating how many bicycles of each model should be produced in each month. Current demand forecasts call for 150 mens and 125 womens models to be shipped during the first month and 200 mens and 150 womens models to be shipped during the second month. Additional data are as follows: Last month, the company used a total of 1,000 hours of labor. The companys labor relations policy will not allow the combined total hours of labor (manufacturing plus assembly) to increase or decrease by more than 100 hours from month to month. In addition, the company charges monthly inventory at the rate of 2% of the production cost based on the inventory levels at the end of the month. The company would like to have at least 25 units of each model in inventory at the end of the two months. (Hint: Define variables for production and inventory held in each period for each product. Then use a constraint to define the relationship between these: inventory from end of previous period + produced this period demand this period = inventory at end of this period.) a. Establish a production schedule that minimizes production and inventory costs and satisfies the labor-smoothing, demand, and inventory requirements. What inventories will be maintained and what are the monthly labor requirements? b. If the company changed the constraints so that monthly labor increases and decreases could not exceed 50 hours, what would happen to the production schedule? How much will the cost increase? What would you recommend?

Obaapa Fashions Ltd has budgeted to sell 100,000 pieces of face masks for April 2020. At the end of March 2020, the company had 20,000 pieces of face mask in inventory and would like to have an inventory of 30,000 pieces of face masks at the end of April. Each piece of face mask requires 2 square meters of treated fabric, the primary raw material. Inventory of the treated fabric at the beginning of April is 5,000 square meters. It is expected that each square meter of the treated fabric will cost GHS3. Assuming the sales budget is met, and the desired ending inventory of the face mask is achieved, how many square meters of the treated fabric need to be purchased in April 2020, in order to have an ending inventory of 8,000 square meters of the treated fabric? What will be the cost of purchases for April 2020? (show all workings clearly).
