Sally Statistics is implementing a system of statistical process control (SPC) charts in her factory in an effort to reduce the overall cost of scrapped product. The current cost of scrap is $X per month. If a 75% learning curve is expected in the use of the SPC charts to reduce the cost of scrap, what would the percentage reduction in monthly scrap cost be after the charts have been used for 6 months? (Hint: Model each month as a unit of production.)
A multinational engineering consulting firm that wants to provide resort accommodations to special clients is considering the purchase of a three-bedroom lodge in upper Montana that will cost $295,000. The property in that area is rapidly appreciating in value because people anxious to get away from urban developments are bidding up the prices. If the company spends an average of $775 per month for utilities and the investment increases at a rate of 0.75% per month, how long would it be before the company could sell the property for $100,000 more than it has invested in it?
The time it will take is ____________months.

- A young couple planning ahead for their retirement has decided that $3 million is the amount they will need in order to retire comfortably 20 years from now. For the past 5 years, they have been able to invest one of their salaries ($50,000 per year, which includes employer contributions) while living off the other salary. They plan to start a family sometime in the next 10 years and when they will have their first child, one of the parents will quit working, causing the savings to decrease to $10,000 per year thereafter. If they have realized an average ROR of 10% per year on their investments, and expect to continue at this ROR, is reaching their goal of $3 million in 20 years sensitive to when they have their first child (i.e., between now and 10 years from now)? If so, how many years from now will they have to wait before they have their first child?

- A plant has sufficient capacity to manufacture any combination of four different products (A, B, C, D). For each product, time is required to be invested in four different machines, which is expressed in hours per kilogram of product, as shown in the following table as shown in the following table: (attached image) Each machine has an availability of 60 hours per week. Products A, B, C and D can be sold at $9, $7, $6 and $5per kilo, respectively. Variable labor costs are $2 per hour for machines 1 and 2, and $3 per hour for machines 3 and 4. The material costs for each kilogram of product A are $4. The material costs for each kilogram of products B, C, D and D are $4 each kilogram of products B, C and D are $1.

The second method makes use of a multiple-punch machine costing P80k. The punch operator is paid P40 an hour and he can punch out 1 hole for 3 seconds.

During your investigation you discover that 13-Watt CFLs costing $2.00 each will provide the same illumination as standard 60-Watt ILBs costing $0.50 each. Interestingly, CFLs last, on average, eight times as long as incandescent bulbs. The average life of an ILB is one year over the anticipated usage of 1,000 hours each year. Each incandescent bulb costs $2.00 to install/replace. Installation of a single CFL costs $3.00, and it will also be used 1,000 hours per year. Electricity costs $0.12 per kiloWatt hour (kWh), and you decide to compare the two lighting options over an 8-year study period. If the MARR is 12% per year, compare the economics of the two alternatives and write a brief report of your findings for the boss.arrow_forward
