Sheridan company offers its customers a pottery cereal bowl if they send in 3 boxtops from Sheridan Frosted Flakes boxes and $1.

The company estimates that 60% of the boxtops will be redeemed. In 2021, the company sold 1344000 boxes of Frosted Flakes and customers redeemed 630000 boxtops receiving 210000 bowls. If the bowls cost Sheridan Company $3 each, how much liability for outstanding premiums should be recorded at the end of 2021

Answer:

$117,600

Explanation:

Boxes of Frosted Flakes ×Estimate of Box Tops to be redeemed

1,344,000×60%= 806,000

806,000- 630,000 (Box Tops redeemed) =176,400

Estimate of Box Tops left to be received /Number of Box Tops Needed per bowl

176,400/3= 58,800 Total bowls estimated to be sent to customers in future

58,800 x 2.00 (The Cost of bowls to company was $3 while the cash to be received from customer was $1)

= $117,600 Which will be the total premium liability to be recorded.

Answer: $117,600

Explanation: From the above question, In 2021, the company sold 1,344,000 boxes of Frosted Flakes.

1,344,000 /3 = 448,000 pottery cereal bowl is expected to be redeemed in the year.

customers redeemed 630,000 boxtops receiving 210,000 bowls.

estimates that 60% of the boxtops will be redeemed = 1,344,000 * 60% = 806,400 and 630,000 was redeemed = 806,400 - 630,000 = 176,400 unredeemed at the end of the year.

Outstanding liability for 2021 = 176,400/3 = 58,800 x ($3 - $1)

= 58,800 x $2 = $117,600

Note that customers get a pottery cereal bowl if they send in 3 boxtops from Sheridan Frosted Flakes boxes and $1 and the bowl costs $3. To the actual cost estimate of the bowl is $3 -$1 = $2

Mrac [35]

Answer:

The Linear programming model is given as below

Profit Function: P=90X+120Y+150Z

Constraints:

2X+2Y+Z\leq 400

3X+4Y+6Z\leq 240

4X+6Y+5Z\leq 320

\dfrac{2X+2Y+Z}{40}\leq 10

\dfrac{3X+4Y+6Z}{40}\leq 6

\dfrac{4X+6Y+5Z}{40}\leq 8

\dfrac{2X+2Y+Z}{35}+\dfrac{3X+4Y+6Z}{35}+\dfrac{4X+6Y+5Z}{35}\leq 19

Explanation:

As the question is not complete, the complete question is found online and is attached herewith.

Let the number of product 1 to be produced is X, that of product 2 is Y and product 3 is Z

so  the maximizing function is the profit function which is given as

P=90X+120Y+150Z

Now as the number of hours in a week are 40 and there are a total of 10 type 1 machines so the total number of machine 1 hours are 40*10=400 hours

As from the given table product 1 uses 2 machine hours of machine 1, product 2 uses 2 machine hours of machine 1 and product 3 uses 1 hour of machine 1 so

2X+2Y+Z\leq 400

Now as the number of hours in a week are 40 and there are a total of 6 type 2 machines so the total number of machine 2 hours are 40*6=240 hours

As from the given table product 1 uses 3 machine hours of machine 2, product 2 uses 4 machine hours of machine 2 and product 3 uses 6 hour of machine 2 so

3X+4Y+6Z\leq 240

Now as the number of hours in a week are 40 and there are a total of 8 type 3 machines so the total number of machine 3 hours are 40*8=320 hours

As from the given table product 1 uses 4 machine hours of machine 3, product 2 uses 6 machine hours of machine 3 and product 3 uses 5 hour of machine 3 so

4X+6Y+5Z\leq 320

Now as the machine 1 is used as 2X+2Y+Z in a week and the week is of 40 hours so the number of machines to be used are given as

\dfrac{2X+2Y+Z}{40}\leq 10

Now as the machine 2 is used as 3X+4Y+6Z in a week and the week is of 40 hours so the number of machines to be used are given as

\dfrac{3X+4Y+6Z}{40}\leq 6

Now as the machine 3 is used as 4X+6Y+5Z in a week and the week is of 40 hours so the number of machines to be used are given as

\dfrac{4X+6Y+5Z}{40}\leq 8

Now the workers are available for 35 hours so the worker available at the machine 1 is given as

\dfrac{2X+2Y+Z}{35}

That of machine 2 is given as

\dfrac{3X+4Y+6Z}{35}

That of machine 3 is given as

\dfrac{4X+6Y+5Z}{35}

As the total number of workers is 19 so the constraint is given as

\dfrac{2X+2Y+Z}{35}+\dfrac{3X+4Y+6Z}{35}+\dfrac{4X+6Y+5Z}{35}\leq 19

So the Linear programming model is given as below

Profit Function: P=90X+120Y+150Z

Constraints:

2X+2Y+Z\leq 400

3X+4Y+6Z\leq 240

4X+6Y+5Z\leq 320

\dfrac{2X+2Y+Z}{40}\leq 10

\dfrac{3X+4Y+6Z}{40}\leq 6

\dfrac{4X+6Y+5Z}{40}\leq 8

\dfrac{2X+2Y+Z}{35}+\dfrac{3X+4Y+6Z}{35}+\dfrac{4X+6Y+5Z}{35}\leq 19
