Chapter 6, Problem 18P
Three Bags Full is a small grocery store chain in the Lehigh Valley. The company is trying to decide whether to include a bakery section in its stores. You have been asked to run the numbers using pies as an example. Baking the pies in-house would cost $80 per day and $1 per pie. Pies can be purchased for $4 each from a local bakery, or $3 each from a large regional bakery. The regional bakery requires a minimum purchase of 25 pies per day. Which alternative would you recommend? (Hint: Graph the problem.)

- Two manufacturing processes are being considered for making a new product. Process A is less capital intensive, with fixed costs of $60,000 per year and variable costs of $700 per unit. Process B has fixed costs of $400,000 annually, with variable costs of $300 per unit. What is the break-even quantity for the two processes? If annual sales are expected to be 700 units, which process should be selected? Operations and Engineering have found a way to reduce the cost of Process B, such that the fixed costs for this process decrease from $400,000 to $300,000 annually. All other costs remain the same. Does this change the process selection for the annual sales volume of 700 units?arrow_forwardA TV factory plans to add production lines for its new product and plans to produce as many as 200 units per hour.

- Georgetown 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_forwardThere is a canteen set up serving food (Breakfast, Lunch, Snacks-tea, and Dinner) to 500 students in a B school.

- A company has a factory that is designed so that it is most efficient (average unit cost is minimized) when producing 28,500 units of output each month. However, it has an absolute maximum output capability of 35,000 units per month, and can produce as little as 7,000 units per month without corporate headquarters shifting production to another plant. If the factory produces 22,120 units in October, what is the capacity utilization rate in October for this factory?

Collins processes and closes on 12 titles each day. They are considering purchasing a computerized title search system that will allow the processing of 20 titles per day. With the new system, they could cut their staff to 2 employees working the same hours at the same pay, but their overhead expenses would double to $400 per day. Compute the labor productivity with the old system (in titles / hour). Compute the labor productivity with the new system (in titles / hour). Compute the multifactor productivity with the old system (in titles / dollar). Compute the multifactor productivity with the new system (in titles / dollar).arrow_forwardIn a short essay, Suppose that you are opening a new restaurant.
