Redleaf company's market research department works on the manufacture and marketing of a winter tire for vehicles. Currently the price is 10$, and the demand is 13000 units. When the price is increased to 15$, the company expects the demand to be 8500 units (assume that price is linearly related to demand.). Company is following a make-to-order policy for their production, meaning that they make production as much as ordered from their dealers. The dealers make orders 3 times a year, on January, May and September. The company has 23 dealers, who do not have any capacity restriction on their orders. Yet, the above information is a country-wise research, and shows the aggregate demand (sum of all dealers' orders) for each price. Regardless of the production amount, the company faces with a 2170$ of administrative cost for production, in addition to 1,3 $ cost of raw materials and labour costs per each units produced. If we define price as a function of demand (P(d)) using the…
Weiss Manufacturing intends to increase capacity by overcoming a bottleneck operation by adding new equipment. Two vendors have presented proposals. The fixed costs are $50,000 for proposal A and $80,000 For proposal B. In addition to the proposed fixed costs from the two vendors, Weiss's management anticipates that they will have to spend $10,000 for installations to be completed. The variable cost is $14.00 for A and $10.00 for B. The revenue generated by each unit is $22.00. a) The break-even point in dollars for the proposal by Vendor A =(round your response to the nearest whole number). b) The break-even point in dollars for the proposal by Vendor B =(round your response to the nearest whole number).

A toy manufacturing company works on three types of models, each of which could be produced on the same machine. The detailed information is shown in the table below. The company operates 200 days per year, with two 8-hour shifts, and requires a 15% capacity cushion for each machine to allow for preventive maintenance, breakdowns, and other unforeseen circumstances. Currently they have two machines. How many additional machines will be required to fulfill the predicted annual demand? You need to show the details for calculating demand, supply, and the number of machines needed to get full credit. Job Type Model A Model B Model C Demand (units/year) 6000 4000 5000 Process time (hours/unit) .8 .75 .25 Average lot size (unites/lot) 40 100 50 Set time (hours) per lot 1.0 1.5 0.5
The Rocky Mountain Publishing Company isconsidering introducing a new morning newspaper inDenver. Its direct competitor charges $0.25 at retailwith $0.05 going to the retailer. For the level of newscoverage the company desires, it determines the fixedcost of editors, reporters, rent, pressroom expenses,and wire-service charges to be $300,000 per month.The variable cost of ink and paper is $0.10 per copy,but advertising revenues of $0.05 per paper will begenerated. To print the morning paper, the publisherhas to purchase a new printing press, which will cost$600,000. The press machine will be depreciatedaccording to a seven-year MACRS class. The pressmachine will be used for 10 years, at which time itssalvage value would be about $100,000. Assume 300issues per year, a 40% tax rate, and a 13% MARR.How many copies per day must be sold to break evenat a retail selling price of $0.25 per paper?

The manager of a sole distributorship for a famous brand of automobiles was discussingwith the assistant manager the planned introduction by mid-year of a new model, theXP-60. It was decided earlier that the price be set at P400,000, at which level the totalnumber of units sold was estimated at 500 units annually. The assistant manager hassuggested that the price should be set at a somewhat lower level, say, at P360,000 inorder to attract a major segment of the non-targeted market. At this lower price, 1,000units are expected to be sold.1. Formulate the firm’s linear demand equation for the product given the estimates andprojections made.2. What is the (point) price elasticity of demand at price P400,000? At P360,000?3. What is the midpoint arc price elasticity of demand between these two prices?Interpret the result.4.

The A-1 Corporation supplies airplane manufacturers with preformed sheet metal panels that are used on the exterior of aircraft. Manufacturing these panels requires only five sheet metal–forming machines, which cost $500 each, and workers. These workers can be hired on an as-needed basis in the labor market at $9,000 each. Given the simplicity of the manufacturing process, the preformed sheet metal panel market is highly competitive. Therefore, the market price for one of A-1’s panels is $80. Based on the production data in the accompanying table, how many workers should A-1 hire to maximize its profits?
A firm has an annual demand of S units for a good whose purchase cost is £c per unit. Each order costs £a to place, and the cost of holding stock is b% of the average value of stock per annum. Determine the optimal order quantity. A local firm uses 2000 units of a particular component each year. The component has a purchase price of £4/unit, while the cost of holding stock is estimated at 20% of the average stock value. If the cost of placing each order is £12.50, find the optimal number of orders placed each year. Suppose the component supplier offers a discount of 2% on the purchase price if orders are placed in units of 1000. Is the discount worth accepting? Suppose that instead of a single figure you had been given a probability distribution for the number of units used each year. Indicate the effect on stock policy.. Please explain fully , the last part is also important to solve.
