Problem 4-07
Hudson Corporation is considering three options for managing its data processing operation: continuing with its own staff, hiring an outside vendor to do the managing (referred to as outsourcing), or using a combination of its own staff and an outside vendor. The cost of the operation depends on future demand. The annual cost of each option (in thousands of dollars) depends on demand as follows:
Demand
Staffing Options
High
Medium
Low

650
650
600
Outside vendor
900
600
300
Combination
800

- Scenario 3 Ben Gibson, the purchasing manager at Coastal Products, was reviewing purchasing expenditures for packaging materials with Jeff Joyner. Ben was particularly disturbed about the amount spent on corrugated boxes purchased from Southeastern Corrugated. Ben said, I dont like the salesman from that company. He comes around here acting like he owns the place. He loves to tell us about his fancy car, house, and vacations. It seems to me he must be making too much money off of us! Jeff responded that he heard Southeastern Corrugated was going to ask for a price increase to cover the rising costs of raw material paper stock. Jeff further stated that Southeastern would probably ask for more than what was justified simply from rising paper stock costs. After the meeting, Ben decided he had heard enough. After all, he prided himself on being a results-oriented manager. There was no way he was going to allow that salesman to keep taking advantage of Coastal Products. Ben called Jeff and told him it was time to rebid the corrugated contract before Southeastern came in with a price increase request. Who did Jeff know that might be interested in the business? Jeff replied he had several companies in mind to include in the bidding process. These companies would surely come in at a lower price, partly because they used lower-grade boxes that would probably work well enough in Coastal Products process. Jeff also explained that these suppliers were not serious contenders for the business. Their purpose was to create competition with the bids. Ben told Jeff to make sure that Southeastern was well aware that these new suppliers were bidding on the contract. He also said to make sure the suppliers knew that price was going to be the determining factor in this quote, because he considered corrugated boxes to be a standard industry item. As the Marketing Manager for Southeastern Corrugated, what would you do upon receiving the request for quotation from Coastal Products?arrow_forwardThe Summer Outdoor Furniture Company produces wooden lawn chairs. The annual demandfrom its store customers is 17,400 chairs per year. The transport and handling costs are $2,600each time a shipment of chairs is delivered to stores from its warehouse. The annual carryingcost is $3.75 per chair. The company is thinking about relocating its warehouse closer to its customers, which would reduce transport and handling costs to $1,900 per order but increase carrying costs to $4.50 per chair per year. Should the company relocate based on inventory costs?arrow_forwardAna Chavarria, front office manager at The Times Hotel, has completed a yield management seminar at Keystone University and is preparing an argument to adopt this concept at The Times Hotel to present to Margaret Chu, general manager. She begins by com- piling a history of room occupancy and ADRs, which she hopes will reveal areas in which yield management could help. She prepares an electronic spreadsheet that lists rooms sold with corresponding room rates and correlates the data to tourism activities in the area. Ana sends an analysis of revenue realized and revenue potential to Ms. Chu for review prior to their discussion. After reviewing the analysis, Ms. Chu concludes, “This is just another scam; the industry is slow to adopt this,” and disregards the entire report. She knows that occupancy percentage, ADR, and RevPAR are all that you need to be efficient today, so why change? Ana passes Ms. Chu in the lobby, and Ms. Chu indicates her distrust of the yield management concept but…arrow_forward

- Mount Isa Mines is one of the world’s great metal mines. Its main operations are at Mount Isa, in Queensland, Australia, where it mines adjacent deposits of copper and silver-lead-zinc ores. Production levels changes with world demand and prices, but in atypical year 7 million tonnes of ore are mined to give 150,000 tonnes of copper and lead (containing silver) and 200,000 tonnes of zinc. Mount Isa has serious transport problems. It produces huge quantities of ore in a remote area of Australia, while the main demand for finished metals is in the industrialised areas of the world, particularly Europe. The problem is to process the ores and move them to final markets as cheaply as possible. You can see the scope of the problem from an outline of the journey for copper, this starts with underground explosions to break up the ore body. The broken ore is collected by front-end loaders and put onto ore trains that carry it to underground crushers. The crushed ore is then hoisted to the…arrow_forwardThe Rolling Creek Textile Mill produces denim. The fixed monthly cost is $21,000, and the variable cost per yard of denim is $0.45.
