1-a. The total time available on the plastic injection molding machine is the constraint in the production process. What is the contribution margin per unit of the constrained resources for Ski Guard, Golf Guard and Fishing Guard?

Answer:

We need to need to find the contribution margin for each product.

$Contribution Margin per unit = Selling Price per unit - Variable cost per unit$

Then we need to find contribution margin per unit of constrained resources with the following formula:

$Contribution Margin per unit of constrained resource = \frac{Contribution margin per unit}{Resource needed per unit of product}$

Constraint: Time available on plastic injection moulding machine

Ski Guard Golf guard Fishing guard

Selling Price per unit 200 300 255

Less: Variable Cost 60 140 55

Contribution Margin 140 160 200

Processing time per unit (minutes) 2 5 4

Contribution Margin unit of constraint 70 (140/2) 32 (160/5) 50

1-b. Which product would be the most profitable use of this constraint?

Manufacturing the Ski Guard would be the most profitable use of this constraint since it has the maximum contribution margin per unit of constraint, ($70 per unit).

1-c. Which product would be the least profitable use of this constraint?

The Golf Guard would be the least profitable use of this constraint since it has the least contribution margin per unit of constraint, at $32 per unit.

2a. A severe shortage of plastic pellets has required the company to cut back its production so much that the plastic injection molding machine is no longer the bottleneck. Instead, the constraint is the total available pounds of plastic pellets. What is contribution margin per unit of the constrained resources for Ski Guard, Golf Guard and Fishing Guard?

We need to need to find the contribution margin for each product.

$Contribution Margin per unit = Selling Price per unit - Variable cost per unit$

Then we need to find contribution margin per unit of constrained resources with the following formula:

$Contribution Margin per unit of constrained resource = \frac{Contribution margin per unit}{Resource needed per unit of product}$

Constraint: Pounds of plastic pellets

Ski Guard Golf guard Fishing guard

Selling Price per unit 200 300 255

Less: Variable Cost 60 140 55

Contribution Margin 140 160 200

Plastic pellets per unit (pounds) 7 4 8

Contribution Margin per pound 20 (140/7) 40 (160/4) 25 (200/8)

2-b. Which product would be the most profitable use of this constraint?

The Golf Guard would be the most profitable use of this constraint since it has the maximum contribution margin per unit of constraint, ($40 per unit).

2-c. Which product would be the least profitable use of this constraint?

The SkiGuard, with a contribution margin of $20 per pound of plastic would be the least profitable use of this constraint.

3. Which product has the largest unit contribution margin?

Answer : The fishing guard has the largest per unit contribution margin at $200.

How many days will it take for a sum of $1300 to earn $16 interest if it is deposited in a bank paying simple interest at the ra

Sav [38]

The formula is
I=prt
I interest earned 16
P principle 1300
R interest rate 0.04
T time t/365days
16=1300×0.04×(t/365)
Solve for t
T=(16÷(1,300×0.04))×365
T=112.3 days round your answer to get 112 days

Hope it helps!

The manufacturer of Brand A automobile tires claims that its tire can save 120 gallons of fuel over 60 comma 000 miles of drivi

ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

By choosing tire A, the consumer will save $0.006 USD ($0.6 cents) per mile.

Information:

Saving: 120 gl over 60,000 miles
Gasoline: $3/gl

Explanation:

Total saving in 60,000 miles = 120gl * $3/gl = $360

Total saving in 1 mile = $360/60,000 = $0,006

"A company currently using an inspection process in its material receiving department is trying to install an overall cost reduc

Bogdan [553]

Answer:

$23.32

Explanation:

We have the given information as below:

Defective content average = 0.04

Number of units inspected per hour = 53

Hourly rate = $10

Cost involved in final product testing = $11

Now to determine if the inspector position is eliminated, we will need to calculate the number of defective products:

defective products = Defective content average × Number of units inspected per hour

defective products = 0.04 × 53 = 2.12

the hourly cost of defects = defective products × Cost involved in final product testing

The hourly cost of defects = 2.12 × $11 = $23.32
