Please answer the question as quickly as possible A toy company has developed two new toys for possible inclusion in its product line for the upcoming Christmas season. Setting up the production facilities to begin production would cost $50,000 for toy 1 and $80,000 for toy 2. Once these costs are covered, the toys would generate a unit profit of $10 for toy 1 and $15 for toy 2. The company has two factories that are capable of producing these toys. However, to avoid doubling the start-up costs, just one factory would be used, where the choice would be based on maximizing profit. For administrative reasons, the same factory would be used for both new toys if both are produced. Toy 1 can be produced at the rate of 50 per hour in factory 1 and 40 per hour in factory 2. Toy 2 can be produced at the rate of 40 per hour in factory 1 and 25 per hour in factory 2. Factories 1 and 2, respectively, have 500 hours and 700 hours of production time available before Christmas that could…
Yost-Perry Industries (YPI) manufactures a mix of affordable guitars (A, B, C) that are fabricated and assembled at four different processing stations (W, X, Y, Z). The operation is a batch process with small setup times that can be considered negligible. The product information (price, weekly demand, and processing times) and process sequences are shown below. Purchased parts and raw materials (shown as a per-unit consumption rate) are represented by inverted triangles. YPI is able to make and sell up to the limit of its demand per week with no penalties incurred for not meeting the full demand. Each workstation is staffed by one highly skilled worker who is dedicated to working on that workstation alone and is paid $15 per hour. The plant operates one 8-hour shift per day and operates on a 5-day work week (i.e., 40 hours of production per person per week). Overhead costs are $9,000/week. Which of the four workstations, W, X, Y, or Z has the highest aggregate workload, and thus…

Lusail Food aims to produce (30,000) units next year. After studying the time, it turned out that each unit needs: Productive work of four hours per unit (job as a production worker) Marketing work of two hours per unit (Job: Marketing Officer) Administrative work of three hours per unit (Job: Administrative)? Currently working in the company: 14 production workers, 6 marketing staff, and 12 administrators. If you know that the average number of annual working hours available is 2500 hours. What is required is to determine the size of the workforce required for the coming year using workload analysis. Number of production units: Unit Next year Function Required working hours / one unit Annual working hours available to the employee next year Required working hours for next year Required workforce for next year Current number of employees For the current year Surplus or deficit In the workforce Next year Production Factor…
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?
Cluck Farms, Inc. produces a crop of chickens at a total cost of $66,000. The production generates 60,000 chickens that can be sold for $1.50 each to a slaughtering company, or the chickens can be slaughtered in house and then sold for $2.75 each. It costs $55,000 more to turn the annual chicken crop into chicken meat. If Chuck Farms slaughters the chickens, how much is the incremental profit or (loss)?
A.J.’s Wildlife Emporium manufactures two unique birdfeeders (Deluxe and Super Duper) that are manufactured and assembled in up to three different workstations (X, Y, Z) using a small batch process. Each of the products is produced according to the flowchart in Figure. Additionally, the flowchart indicates each product’s price, weekly demand, and processing times per unit. Batch setup times are negligible.A.J. can make and sell up to the limit of its weekly demand and there are no penalties for not being able to meet all of the demand. Each workstation is staffed by a worker who is dedicated to work on that workstation alone and is paid $16 per hour. The plant operates 40 hours per week, with no overtime. Overhead costs are $2,000 per week. Based on the information provided, as well as the information contained in the flowchart, answer the following questions. a. Using the traditional method, which bases decisions solely on a product’s contribution to profits and overhead, what is the…
Explain and expand these importance of capacity planning. 1. Capacity decisions have a real impact on the ability of the organization to meet future demands for products and services. 2. Capacity decisions affect operating costs. 3. Capacity is usually a major determinant of initial cost. Typically, the greater the capacity of a productive unit, the greater its cost.
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).
