If a supply chain manager can reduce inventory while keeping the flow rate constant, little's law predicts flow time will go down.

Little's Law is a theorem that calculates the average number of items in a stationary queuing system based on an item's average waiting time and the average number of items arriving at the system per unit of time.

The law establishes a straightforward and obvious method for evaluating the efficiency of queuing systems.

The notion is extremely important for business operations since it states that the number of items in the queuing system is determined primarily by two essential variables and is unaffected by other factors such as service distribution or service order.

Hence, the answer is that the flow time will go down.

Assume that you are a high-level manager for a shoe manufacturer. You know that your firm could increase its profit margin by pr
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

The issue here is that you need to balance your company's profits and possible negative due to bad press.

On one side (the good and righteous side), if you do not produce shoes in Asia, your long term survival economic is doubtful, but people view your company as a company that does the right thing no matter what. Will it increase sales? Theoretically it should, but in practice it doesn't. Are Nike sales hurt because each shoe is produced in an Asian country that pays $0.25 per day? No, they aren't. The same applies to Reebok, Adidas, Puma, New Balance and every single major shoe manufacturer in the world. Bad press hurt tuna back in the 80's, but some companies are not affected by it.

The alternative (the evil, dark side of the force side) results in your company being able to survive on the long term. It will not necessarily mean that your company will grow and become the world's largest shoe manufacturer, but you will be able to survive and continue to operate.

There is also a trick that you can use to avoid reputational damage and bad press, and that is to establish a foreign subsidiary in Indonesia using a different name. Then your foreign subsidiary sells you the manufactured goods, and the blame fall son the subsidiary. Believe it or not, that simple solution is used by most corporations including clothing manufacturers, electronics, toys, etc.

If you analyze this from an ethical point of view, the alternative is much simpler. Producing in Indonesia (or India, or Burma, or Pakistan, or Vietnam, etc.) and paying a $100 salary will allow a family to live a very decent life and probably even prosper. They will have a much better lifestyle than the rest of their neighborhood. Each Indonesian worker represents one less poor family in Indonesia. On the other hand, American families will probably get hurt, but it is also much easier for an American worker to get another job that pays a normal wage (in US standards) and allows them to live well.

Engler Company purchases a new delivery truck for $55,000. In addition, the sales taxes are $4,000. Engler also paints on the lo
uysha [10]

Answer:

$61,390

Explanation:

Calculation to determine What does Engler record as the cost of the new truck

Using this formula

Cost of new truck=Purchase price+Sales tax, painting +Logo on the side of the truck +Safety testing +Tune up and oil change

Let plug in the formula

Cost of new truck=$55,000 + $4,000 + $1,600 + $290 +$500

Cost of new truck= $61,390

Therefore what Engler will record as the cost of the new truck is $61,390

A consumer has $180 in monthly income to spend on two goods, D and G, where D is on the y-axis. The price of good D, PD is $6, a
olga2289 [7]

Answer:

The number of units of good G that can be purchased if all income is used to purchase good G is 15 units.

Explanation:

Since D is on the y-axis, indicating G is on the x-axis, the formula for calculating the marginal rate of transformation (MRT) is given as follows:

MRT = - PG / PD …………………. (1)

Where:

MRT = Marginal rate of transformation = -2

PG = Price of good G = ?

PD = Price of good D = $6

Substituting the relevant values into equation (1) and solve for PG, we have:

-2 = - PG / $6

PG = -2 * (-6) = $12

Therefore, we have:

Number units of good G if all income is spent on it = Monthly income / PG = $180 / $12 = 15

Therefore, the number of units of good G that can be purchased if all income is used to purchase good G is 15 units.

Lakers Company produces two products. The following information is available: Product X Product Y Selling price per unit $46 $36
never [62]

Answer:

A) Contribution margin : Product X: $8; Product Y: $12

B)The expected net income: $18,000

C) Break-even point in units for each product is Product X 19,500 units, Product Y 6,500 units.

D) Break-even point in units for each product is Product X 14,625 units, Product Y 9,750 units.

Explanation:

A) Contribution margin for each product:

Product X = Selling price of X - Variable cost of X = 46 - 38 = $8

Product Y = Selling price of Y - Variable cost of Y = 36 - 24 = $12

B) The expected net income:

Expected net income = Contribution margin of product X x Units of Product X sold + Contribution margin of product Y x Units of Product Y sold  - Fixed cost = 8 x 21,000 + 12 x 7,000 - 234,000 = $18,000

C) The break-even point in units for each product assuming the sales mix is 3 units of Product X for every 1 unit of Product Y:

Denote a is the number of Y BEP (in units) => 3a is the number of X in BEP (in units)

We have 3a x 8 + a x 12 = 234,000 <=> 36a = 234,000 <=> a = $6,500 <=> 3a = 19,500

Thus,  break-even point in units for each product is Product X 19,500 units, Product Y 6,500 units.

D) The break-even point in units for each product assuming the sales mix is 3 units of Product X for every 2 units of Product Y:

Denote b is the number of Y BEP (in units) => 3b/2 is the number of X in BEP (in units)

We have 3b/2 x 8 + b x 12 = 234,000 <=> 24b = 234,000 <=> b = $9,750 <=> 3b/2 = 14,625

Thus,  break-even point in units for each product is Product X 14,625 units, Product Y 9,750 units.
