1.
Material Requirement Planning (MRP) System:
The system that produces the finished goods with the help of raw material and semi finished goods is known as the material requirement planning. It involve the planning and controlling of inventory in such a way that the production will optimally generate.
Economic Order Quantity (EOQ):
Economic order quantity is the quantity of order that is purchased from supplier at a time, the EOQ aim is to reduce the carrying and ordering cost of inventory. EOQ is also referred as the optimum level of lot size.
Just-in-Time (JIT) Inventory:
Just in time inventory approach means to purchase the inventory when it is needed. This approach does not consider the storage of inventory factor. Most of the companies use this approach to avoid the wastage arises due to extra inventory. When the need of inventory arises the purchase manager will purchase the inventory from supplier.
To compute: The actual cost of producing and carrying units in inventory using MRP system.
2.
The optimum batch size and number of batches also calculate the annual cost of producing and carrying if the company uses optimal batch size. Compare this cost with the cost calculated in part1.
3.
To compute: The actual cost of producing and carrying units in inventory using JIT system.
4.
To explain: The MRP system and JIT system and there advantages and disadvantages.

EBK HORNGREN'S COST ACCOUNTING
- Techno Gadgets Corp. produces J-Pods, music players that can download thousands of songs. Techno Gadgets forecasts that demand in 2020 will be 19,800 J-Pods. The variable production cost of each J-Pod is $55. In its MRP system, due to the large $17,600 cost per setup, Techno Gadgets plans to produce J-Pods once a month in batches of 1,650 units. The carrying cost of a unit in inventory is $16 per year. Read the requirements LOADING... . Question content area bottom Part 1 Requirement 1. Using the MRP system, what is the annual cost of producing and carrying J-Pods in inventory? (Assume that, on average, half of the units produced in a month are in inventory.) Begin by determining the formula, then calculate the annual cost of producing and carrying J-Pods in inventory, using an MRP system. (Round your answer to the nearest whole dollar.)

- Neptune Company has developed a small inflatable toy that it is anxious to introduce to its customers. The company’s Marketing Department estimates that demand for the new toy will range between 10,000 units and 35,000 units per month. The new toy will sell for $9.00 per unit. Enough capacity exists in the company’s plant to produce 15,000 units of the toy each month. Variable expenses to manufacture and sell one unit would be $5.00 , and incremental fixed expenses associated with the toy would total $32,000 per month. Neptune has also identified an outside supplier who could produce the toy for a price of $4.00 per unit plus a fixed fee of $29,000 per month for any production volume up to 15,000 units. For a production volume between 15,001 and 35,000 units the fixed fee would increase to a total of $58,000 per month. Required: 1. Calculate the break-even point in unit sales assuming that Neptune does not hire the outside supplier.

- The Sandstone Corporation uses an injection molding machine to make a plastic product, Z35, after receiving firm orders from its customers. Sandstone estimates that it will receive 60 orders for Z35 during the coming year. Each order of Z35 will take 100 hours of machine time. The annual machine capacity is 8,000 hours. Q. Sandstone is considering introducing a new product, Y21. The company expects it will receive 30 orders of Y21 in the coming year. Each order of Y21 will take 40 hours of machine time. Assuming the demand for Z35 will not be affected by the introduction of Y21, calculate (a) the average waiting time for an order received and (b) the average manufacturing cycle time per order for each product, if Sandstone introduces Y21.arrow_forwardRelling Corporation manufactures a drink bottle, model CL24.
