Purple Swift manufactures birdhouses in lots of 10. Each birdhouse takes 45 minutes to paint. After 10 birdhouses are painted, the company switches paint color which requires a 1-hour changeover. The company works 8 hours per shift, one shift per day, 220 days per year. Currently the company has one paint booth. What is Purple Swift’s paint capacity cushion if it builds 2,000 birdhouses per year?

This product is added to an automobile’s gasoline to extend mileage and reduce exhasut emissions. Motorking's manufacturing facility can produce 50,000 cases of the new product per year with a set-up cost of $100,000. The average variable cost per case would be $5. Large orders, (i.e., above 50,000 cases) will be subcontracted to a local refining company. Motorking has signed a secrecy agreement with the vendor that guards the basic process. The variable cost per case, if the new product is produced outside, is $9. Whether the product is manufactured by Motorking or by the vendor, there is a $12 per case cost for marketing and overhead. Motorking's production manager is considering three production levels for the new product: 50,000 cases, 75,000 cases, and 100,000 cases. The level of sales will depend on the state of the economy.
