All of the following are characteristics of an effective team member except ____

Cullumber, Inc. produces three types of balloons—small, medium, and large—with the following characteristics: Small Medium Large

Answer: Small Balloons - 600 units

Medium Balloons - 0 units

Large Balloons - 467 units

Explanation:

To solve this question, the Contribution margin per hour must be ascertained to find out which product is manufactured more efficiently in relation to machine hours.

Small Balloon.

= Contribution margin per unit/ Machine hours per unit

= 3/1

= 3

Medium Balloon.

= Contribution margin per unit/ Machine hours per unit

= 3/2.4

= 1.25

Large Balloon

= Contribution margin per unit/ Machine hours per unit

= 4/3

= 1.33

From the above we can rank the most efficient.

Efficiency Ranking

Small Balloon - 1

Large Balloon - 2

Medium - Balloon 3

As a rule, it is better that a company produces goods it is more efficient at first,

Small Balloons will be produced first and have a demand of 600 units.

With a cost of 1 unit therefore, producing 600 would be,

= 600 * 1

= 600 machine hours.

With Small Balloons taking 600 hours and with a limit of 2,000 hours we are left with,

= 2,000 - 600

= 1,400 hours.

Next in production is Large Balloons at a demand of 880 units with each unit costing $3,

= 880 * 3

= 2,640 machine hours

Seeing as we only have 1,400 machine hours left all these hours will be converted to used for Large Balloons which means the following number of units will be produced,

= 1,400/3

= 466.67

= 467 units.

The Company should produce in the following order to maximise its total contribution margin.

Small Balloons - 600 units

Medium Balloons - 0 units

Large Balloons - 467 units

Research and collect information.

The phases of the 3 x 3 process are:

1. Pre-writing: think about your audience, anticipate the reaction to your message adapt the message to the audience

2. Drafting: research and collect information, organize it and write the first draft

3. Revising: Edit, proofread, and make sure it meets the goals that you developed in the pre-writing process.

Simone is working to establish her reputation at Alpha Assemblies as part of her internship opportunity. She is looking for a wa

Complete question:

Alpha Assemblies produces a wide variety of products in their central Nebraska facility. Many of these products fit within a line of standard truck and trailer parts. Within this is a set of hitches that can be made in two sizes (1-1/4 and 2) and three strengths (light duty, medium duty, and heavy duty). All of the hitches in this line have "natural" finishes so no additional steps are necessary after they are cast. The machine used to cast these six hitch variations is available for 2000 hours per year. Operators are paid $15.00 per hour including benefits.

Simone is working to establish her reputation at Alpha Assemblies as part of her internship opportunity. She is looking for a way to improve the operations. She has been working on the hitch project and is looking at possible ways to cut costs. At this point she has studied the processes and their associated costs, and completed forecasts for the next year's demand.

Hitch A is the 1-1/4 inch, light duty, natural hitch. Simone has forecast the demand for this hitch at 5,656 units for the next year. It takes one operator 5.4 hours to perform a setup to produce a batch for this hitch and no other setup costs are incurred when setting up the machine. In addition, the holding costs for this item are $4.39 per unit per year. This hitch has a current batch size of 1,500 units per production run.Simone has determined that traditional EOQ is applicable for this problem. Determine the order quantity (EOQ) Simone should use if this determination is correct.

Don't round any numbers in the middle of the problem. Provide your answer to two (2) decimal places.

Answer:

EOQ = 323.05 units

Explanation:

Given the following:

Demand, D = 5656 units

Holding cost, H= $4.39 per unit per yr

Time for setup = 5.4 hours

Payment per operator = $15.00 per hour

Calculate for setup cost:

Set up cost, S = Setup time * payment

5.4 * $15 = $81
