The M-N plant manufactures two different products: M and N. Selling prices and weekly market demands are shown in the following

diagram. Each product uses raw materials with costs as shown. The plant has three different machines: A, B, and C. Each performs different tasks and can work on only one unit of material at a time.
33787957
Process times for each task are shown in the diagram. Each machine is available 3,500 minutes per week. There are no "Murphys" (major opportunities for the system to foul up). Setup and transfer times are zero. Demand is constant.



Operating expenses (including labor) total a constant $12,000 per week. Raw materials are not included in weekly operating expenses.



a. Which machine is the constraint in this plant?

Machine A
Machine B
Machine C
b. Which product mix provides the highest gross profit? (Hint: consider raw material cost but not operating expense) - in units

Product M:
Product N:
c. What is the maximum weekly net profit this plant can earn using the product mix from Part b? (Hint: consider operating expense and raw material cost)

The answers to the question are:

  • The machine that is the constraint is the machine c.
  • The product m = 80 units and n = 80 units
  • Net profit = $3600

<h3>1. How to solve for the constraint of the machine</h3>

We have to solve for the workload of the machines

For A. 20*100 = 2000

For B, 5 * 100 + 10 *80

= 500 + 800 = 1300

For Machine C = 15 * 100 + 15 * 80

= 1500 + 1200

= 2700

The time at the workstation in c is more than the constant time of 2400, hence the constraint that we have is machine c.

b. 2400- 1200 = 1200

The product mix would be 1200/15

= 80

Hence the product mix m = 80 units and that of n = 80 units

<h3>c. The total net profit</h3>

80*$90 = 7200 , 80 * 105 = 8400

7200 + 8400

= 15600

The net profit = 15600 - 12000

= $3600

Kobotan [32]

Answer:

73 months

approximately 6 years

Explanation:

The period of time it would take to pay off the loan can be determined using excel nper function as below:

=nper(rate,pmt,-pv,fv)

rate is the interest expressed in monthly terms which is 15.3%/12

pmt is the amount payment per month i.e $90

pv is the amount of loan which is $4250

fv is the balance of the loan after all payments have been made i.e $0

=nper(15.3%/12,90,-4250,0)= 73 months

73 months/12 months=approximately 6 years

uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

B) $1,132,895

Explanation:

If the CPI = 15.2 in 1931, and in 2012 it was = 229.6, then President Hoover was making a fortune = (229.6 / 15.2) x $75,000 = $1,132,895, and he was a terrible president, one of the worst ones in all history.

In 2012 when President Obama was in office, he made around $400,000 and he was a much better president.

Mariana [72]

Answer: Altruism

             

Explanation: It refers to the behavior when an individual considers the benefit of other more important than the self benefit.

In the given case, the hotel chain has the sole purpose of providing best services to its customers. They are not ready to forego their dedication towards service even if it results in loss of their market share.

It is not a case of excellence as they are not charging extra for the same service to increase their profits.

Hence from the above we can conclude that the correct option is D.
