A manager is in a dilemma whether to purchase boards for kitchen cabinets from a vendor at $6 each or to produce them in-house. For In-house production there are two processes the first option has annual fixed cost of $150,000 and variable cost of $4 per unit, while the other has annual fixed cost of $1 80,000 and variable cost of S4 per unit.
Determine the volume that would be best for each of them.
Matthew Bailey, as manager of Designs by Bailey,is upgrading his CAD software. The high-performance (HP)software rents for $3,000 per month per workstation. Thestandard-performance (SP) software rents for $2,000 per monthper workstation. The productivity figures that he has availablesuggest that the HP software is faster for his kind of design.Therefore, with the HP software he will need five engineers and
with the SP software he will need six. This translates into a vari-able cost of $200 per drawing for the HP system and $240 per
drawing for the SP system. At his projected volume of 80 draw-ings per month, which system should he rent?
Spartan Castings must implement a manufacturing process that reduces the amount of particulates emitted into the atmosphere. Two processes have been identified that provide the same level of particulate reduction. The first process is expected to incur $350,000 of fixed cost and add $50 of variable cost to each casting Spartan produces. The second process has fixed costs of $150,000 and adds $90 of variable cost per casting.a. What is the break-even quantity beyond which the first process is more attractive?b. What is the difference in total cost if the quantity produced is 10,000?

Management is considering outsourcing the shipping operation to a logistics provider experienced in the electronics industry. Thompson’s annual fixed costs of the shipping operation are $1,500,000, which includes costs of the equipment and infrastructure for the operation. The estimated variable cost of shipping the scales with the in-house operation is $4.50 per ton-mile.
