(A)
Interpretation: The profit in product mix by using traditional contribution margin method needs to be determined.
Concept Introduction: Contribution margin is concerned with preparing income statement. Generally for calculating profit or loss in business it is required.
B
Interpretation: The profit (using bottleneck method) for select a product mix needs to be determined.
Concept Introduction: In a product mix, each bottleneck considers as a decision maker. It is a constraint which limits the ability to meet market demand
(C)
Interpretation: The profit gain in value and in percentage needs to be determined.
Concept Introduction: Contribution margin is concerned with preparing income statement. Generally for calculating profit or loss in business it is required.

- In an essay, suppose you are opening up an an Applebee's restaurant. describe short and long term capacity management of the process, including strategies and concpets used to adress expected customer demand.arrow_forwardA.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…arrow_forwardGeorgetown Pizza makes its favorite pan pizzas every day with three working shifts around the clock. The current completely cooked pizza-making process has a fixed cost of $24,000, and a variable cost of $2.75 per pizza. The owner is considering a different process that can make pizzas in two ways: completely cooked and selling at $13.98 per unit, or partially cooked with a selling price of $12.98 per unit. This alternate process has a fixed cost of $28,000, but a lower variable cost (because much less energy is used in baking) of $2.25 per pizza. a. Determine the breakeven quantity between the current pizza-making process and the alternate process.arrow_forward
- The following diagram describes a manufacture process where products go through four parallel three-step processes and then merge into a single line for two final steps. Capacities of each step are shown on the diagram. A) What is the current capacity of the entire system? B) If the capacity of one operation could be increased in order to increase the output of the system, which operation should it be, and what amount of increase?arrow_forwardThe Build-Em-Fast Company has agreed to supply its best customer with three widgets during each of the next 3 weeks, even though producing them will require some overtime work. The relevant production data are as follows: Week Maximum Production, Regular Time Maximum Production, Overtime Production Cost per Unit, Regular Time 1 2 2 $300 2 3 2 $500 3 1 2 $400 The cost per unit produced with overtime for each week is $100 more than for regular time. The cost of storage is $50 per unit for each week it is stored. There is already an inventory of two widgets on hand currently, but the company does not want to retain any widgets in inventory after the 3 weeks. Management wants to know how many units should be produced in each week to minimize the total cost of meeting the delivery schedule. Formulate this problem as a transportation problem by constructing the appropriate parameter table.arrow_forwardYou have been asked to put together a capacity plan for a critical operation at the Surefoot Sandal Company. Your capacity measure is number of machines. Three products (men’s, women’s, and children’s sandals) are manufactured. The time standards (processing and setup), lot sizes, and demand forecasts are given in the following table. The firm operates two 8-hour shifts, 5 days per week, 50 weeks per year. Experience shows that a capacity cushion of 5 percent is sufficient. Time Standards Product Processing (hr/pair) Setup (hr/pair) Lot Size (pairs/lot) Demand Forecast (pairs/yr) Men’s sandals 0.05 0.5 240 80,000 Women’s sandals 0.10 2.2 180 60,000 Children’s sandals 0.02 3.8 360 120,000 a. How many machines are needed? b. If the operation currently has two machines, what is the capacity gap?arrow_forward
- Georgetown Pizza makes favorite pan pizzas every day with three working shifts around the clock. The current completely cooked pizza making process has a fixed cost of $24,000, and a variable cost of $2.75 per pizza. The owner is considering a different process that can make pizzas in two ways: completely cooked and selling at $13.98 per unit, or partially cooked with a selling price of $12.98 per unit. This alternate process has a fixed cost of $28,000, but a lower variable cost (because much less energy is used in baking) of $2.25 per pizzac. If the owner expects to get $390,000 as a half year profit, how many units of completely cook pizzas, should Georgetown sell a year using the current pizza making process? d. Determine the annual design capacity for Georgetown’s production if the completely cook pizzas can be produced at 120 units per hour.arrow_forwardThe following processes - Tameka, Tamia, and Christian - have the following cost structure: Show all work in Excel with formulas Process Fixed Cost per Year Variable Cost per Unit Tameka $120,000 $3.00 Tamia 90,000 4.00 Christian 80,000 4.50 a. What is the most economical process for a volume of 8,000 units? b. How many units per year must be sold with each process to have annual profits of $50,000 if the selling price is $6.95 per unit? c. What is the break-even volume for each process?arrow_forwardA copy center in an office building prepares bound reports for two clients. The center makes multiple copies (thelot size) of each report. The processing time to run, collate, and bind each copy depends on, among other fac-tors, the number of pages. The center operates 250 days per year, with one 8-hour shift. Management believesthat a capacity cushion of 15 percent (beyond the allowance built into time standards) is best. It currently hasthree copy machines. Based on the following table of information, determine how many machines are neededat the copy center Item Client X Client YAnnual demand forecast (copies) 2,000 6,000Standard processing time (hour/copy) 0.5 0.7Average lot size (copies per report) 20 30Standard setup time (hours) 0.25 0.40arrow_forward

The Tailwind shoe, which sells for $210, contains both gas- and liquid-filled compartments to provide morestability and better protection against knee, foot, and back injuries. Manufacturing the shoes requires 10 separate tasks. There are 400 minutes available for manufacturing the shoes in the plant each day. Daily demand is 60. The information for the tasks is as follows: a) Draw the precedence diagram.b) Assign tasks to thl e minimum feasible number of workstations according to the "ranked positioned weight" decision rule.c) What is the efficiency of the process you completed in (b)?d) What is the idle time per cycle?arrow_forward
