Chapter 13, Problem 10P
Question:
••• 13.10 The S&OP team (see Problem 13.9) is considering two more mixed strategies. Using the data in Problem 13.9, compare plans C and D with plans A and B and make a recommendation.
► Plan C: Keep the current workforce steady at a level producing 1,300 units per month. Subcontract the remainder to meet demand. Assume that 300 units remaining from June are available in July.
► Plan D: Keep the current workforce at a level capable of producing 1,300 units per month. Permit a maximum of 20% overtime at a premium of $40 per unit. Assume that warehouse limitations permit no more than a 180-unit carryover from month to month. This plan means that any time inventories reach 180, the plant is kept idle. Idle time per unit is $60. Any additional needs are subcontracted at a cost of $60 per incremental unit.

3. Your independent oil and gas company is considering the purchase at time zero of a
100 % working interest in a property. If you elect to develop the lease for an 87.5%
revenue interest, the following costs will be incurred: in time zero, the lease bonus
cost is $100,00o, intangible drilling costs are estimated at $550,000 while tangible
completion costs are estimated at $300,000. Operating costs are estimated to
remain constant at $8.00 per barrel (includes production costs, severance taxes and
ad-valorem taxes) in each of years 1, 2, 3 and 4. Oil prices are forecasted to be
$50.00 per barrel in each of years 1, 2, 3, and 4. Production is summarized in the
following table. The escalated dollar minimum rate of return is 12.0%. Use net
present value analysis to determine if the acquisition and development of this lease
is economically viable: (a) Before considering income taxes, (b) Assuming income
tax rate of 30%. (Expense 100% of intangible drilling costs at the end of first year,…

If the item is outsourced to Laval Hardware Co, there is virtually no cost other than the $6 per unit that they would pay Laval Hardware Co. Internally, they have two choices. Process A requires an investment of $120,000 for design and equipment, but it results in a $4 per unit cost. Process B requires only a $100,000 investment, but its per unit cost is $5. Regardless of whether the item is subcontracted or produced internally, there is a 50% chance that they will sell 50,000 units, and a 50% chance that they will sell 100,000 units.

- QUESTION TWO An aggregate plan is to be developed for the forecast of demand covering nine periods shown in Table below. Other relevant production and cost information is also provided. Find the cost associated with an aggregate plan that involves varying the size of the work force in order to have a production rate that matches demand. Note: Since this plan does not allow for any inventory build-up, a decision has been made to carry 10 units of safety stock, but no overtime or subcontract labour is used.
