Production per month = 20 units per worker
Initial inventory = 500 units
Desired ending inventory (at the end of month 6) = 0 units
Cost:
Hire cost = $500 per temporary worker
Inventory = $10 per tractor per month
Backorder = $150 per tractor per month

Summertime Products makes outdoor shirts. Data relating to the coming year’s planned operations follows: Sales (200,000 shirts) P 5,000,000 Cost of good sold 3,500,000 Gross profit P 1,500,000 Selling and administrative expenses 1,100,000 Income P 400,000 The factory has capacity to make 240,000 shirts per year. Fixed cost included in cost of goods sold was P 1,000,000. The only variable selling, general, and administrative expenses are a 10% sales commission and a P 2.00 per shirt licensing fee paid to the designer. A chain store manager has approached the sales manager of Summertime Products offering to buy 30,000 shirts at P18 per shirt. These shirts would be sold in areas where Summertime’ shirts are not now sold. The sales manager believes that the accepting the offer would result in a loss because the average total cost of a shirt is P 23 ([3,500,000+P 1,100,000]/200,000). He feels that even though sales commissions would not be paid on the order, a loss would still result.…

Each structure provides 1,000 square feet offloor space, with 8-feet ceilings. In 1999, you produced 70 similar structures consistingof the same materials and having the same ceiling height, but each provided only 800square feet of floor space. The material cost for each structure was $25,000 in 1999, andthe cost capacity factor is 0.65. The cost index values for 1999 and 2006 are 200 and 289,respectively. The estimated manufacturing cost for the first 1,000-square-foot structureis $12,000. Assume a learning curve of 88% and use the cost of the 50th structure asyour standard time for estimating manufacturing cost.

Downs of Plum Engines, a producer of lawn mowers and leaf blowers, must developan aggregate plan given the forecast for engine demand shown in the table. The department has aregular output capacity of 130 engines per month. Regular output has a cost of $60 per engine. Thebeginning inventory is zero engines. Overtime has a cost of $90 per engine.a. Develop a chase plan that matches the forecast and compute the total cost of your plan. Regularproduction can be less than regular capacity. b. Compare the costs to a level plan that uses inventory to absorb fluctuations. Inventory carryingcost is $2 per engine per month. Backlog cost is $90 per engine per month.
