You are choosing from between the following four processes, each with a different fixed cost, and variable costs. Process Fixed Variable A 20,000 15 B 10,000 12 C 5,000 10 D 8,000 9.3 Because I can only ask a single quantifiable question, I can't easily ask you to tell me which process is the cheapest from 0 to whatever, and then something else is cheapest for a while, etc. What is the point where D becomes cheaper than C? Round your answer to the closest whole number.

Step by step
Solved in 2 steps
- 1. Rapid-Lube provides oil changes and lubes. The estimated number of oil changes for April and May are 3,600 and 4,000. Each oil change takes 12 minutes of direct labor. The wage rate is $10 per hour. Overhead is $3,700 per month and $2 per oil change. Budgeted overhead for May is $__________________. Budgeted overhead for April is $__________________. Budgeted direct labor for May is $__________________. Budgeted direct labor for April is $__________________. 2. You have decided to throw a party next weekend for 20 friends. The friends are going to bring health food, so all you have to have available are the drinks. You estimate that, on average, each person will drink four bottles of soft drinks. Three of your friends will drink only natural soda without unneeded color so Sulo Ginger Ale should work well for them. For the others, you decide to buy Sulo Cola. Before going online, you check the refrigerator you already have six bottles of Sulo Ginger Ale and 14 of Sulo Cola.…(Electro Corporation) The Electro Corporation manufactures two electrical products: air conditioners and fans. The assembly process for each is similar in that both require a certain amount of wiring and drilling. Each air conditioner takes 3 hours of wiring and 2 hours of drilling. Each fan must go through 2 hours of wiring and 1 hour of drilling. During the next production period, at most 240 hours of wiring time are available and at most 140 hours of drilling time may be used. Each air conditioner sold yields a profit of $25. Each fan assembled may be sold for a $15 profit. Formulate an LP of this product mix problem to find the best combination of air conditioners and fans for the highest total profit.max pX 1 + qX 2 (Total profit) s.t. aX 1 + bX 2 u (Wiring) cX 1 + dX 2 v (Drilling) X 1, X 2 0(Hint: Let X1 = number of air conditioners and X2 = number of fans)Please can u answer this true and false 1. The design capacity is often lower than the effective capacity. 2. To improve efficiency firms should train employees and correct quality problems. 3. Mass Customization processes are low volume and low variety 4. Process Strategies have long-term effects on efficiency and production flexibility 5. Continuous processes are high volume but a low variety of products. 6. Modules are parts or components of a product previously prepared, often in a continuous process. 7. Effective capacity is the number of units a facility can hold, receive, store, or produce ha pers 8. Utilization is the theoretical maximum output of a system in a given period under idea conctions
- Concord, Inc. is unsure of whether to sell its product assembled or unassembled. The unit cost of the unassembled product is $12, while the cost of assembling each unit is estimated at $14. Unassembled units can be sold for $59, while assembled units could be sold for $65 per unit. What decision should Concord make? Process further; the company will save $8 per unit. Sell before assembly; the company will save $8 per unit. Sell before assembly; the company will save $4 per unit. Process further; the company will save $6 per unit.Although the problems say solve graphically, please solve all problems using the QM for Windows software or solve manually. B.5 The Attaran Corporation manufactures two electrical products: portable air conditioners and portable heaters. The assembly process for each is similar in that both require a certain amount of wiring and drilling. Each air conditioner takes 3 hours of wiring and 2 hours of drilling Each heater must go through 2 hours of wiring and 1 hour of drilling. During the next production period, 240 hours of wiring time are zvailable and up to 140 hours of drilling time may be used. Each air conditioner sold yields a profit of $25. Each heater assembled may be sold for a $15 profit. Formulate and solve this LP production-mix situation, and find the best combination of air conditioners and heaters that yields the highest profit.XYZ Company produces and sells 2 products, Lambda and Gamma, and the production process goes through two departments. Traditionally Manufacturing Overhead (M/O) cost is applied on the basis of direct labor hours (DLH); estimated M/O cost is $ 5,757,500 and the estimated DLH is $12,250 for the most recent period.The team decided to replace traditional plantwide costing system to activity-based costing system. There are 3 activity cost pools which represent 3 activity areas at the plant. Direct Labor wage rate is $ 30 per hour. Compute total cost per unit (for lambda and gamma) using activity-based approach. (round your numbers).
- Hello, This is not Clear, can you please do it WITHOUT excel, Just normal optimization model simplex calculation?You are the operations manager for a production company. You are given the technical rate of substitution between factors X2 and X1 as -4. If you will like to produce the same output but you want to decrease the use of X1 by 2 units since it cost more than X2 to acquire, how many additional units of X2 will be required?a) Refer to Scenario C: Which task(s) would be blocked? Check all that apply. Task 1 Task 2 Task 3 Task 4 Task 5 b) Refer to Scenario C. What would the utilization of Task 3 be? Pick the closest answer. 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% 70% 80% 90% 100% c) Suppose you are given the same process as Scenario C, except with buffers between each of the tasks (shown attached). Buffers have no limit to the number of items they can potentially hold. Suppose each buffer shaded in blue starts with 35 units in inventory. After 3 hours, approximately how many finished units will Task 5 have produced? Pick the closest answer. 10 20 30 40 50 60
- There are several types of linear-programming models that exhibit a special structure which can be exploited in the construction of efficient algorithms for solutions to an organisation’s challenges. Efficient production planning is a key condition for a production system’s success, which considers the real-world resource limitations such as budget, time and labour. A study is being conducted to develop linear and goal programming models in an attempt to optimise the daily production outputs of your organisation in producing various product mixes. The three goals considered are: maximising the daily sales profits, minimising overtime, and maximising the utility of machines used in the production process. REQUIRED: You are required to develop an efficient solution through the application of linear and goal programming, to a concisely defined problem through examining a situation in a company of your choice to determine the optimal solution to be implemented. Generate a title of your…The ore of a gold mine in the Itogon Benguet, on the average,1Kgram of gold per 10 ton. One method of processing costs P100,500 per ton and recovers 85% of the gold, while another methodcosts P200,000 per ton and recovers 90% of the gold. If gold can besolid at P2, 500 per gram, which method is better and by howmuch?A final assembly plant for a certain automobile model is to have a capacity of 240,000 units annually. The plant will operate 50 weeks/yr, two shifts/day, 5 days/week, and 8.0 hours/shift. It will be divided into three departments: (1) Body shop, (2) paint shop, (3) trim-chassis-final department. The body shop welds the car bodies using robots, and the paint shop coats the bodies. Both of these departments are highly automated. Trim-chassis-final has no automation. There are 15.5 hours of direct labor content on each car in this department, where cars are moved by a continuous conveyor. Determine: (a) Hourly production rate of the plant, (b) number of workers and workstations required in trim-chassis-final if no automated stations are used, the average manning level is 2.5, balancing efficiency = 93%, proportion uptime = 95%, and a repositioning time of 0.15 min is allowed for each worker.
