However, Rina's decision regarding how many workers to use can vary from week to week because her workers tend to be students. E

ach Monday, Rina lets them know how many workers she needs for each day of the week. In the short run, these workers are inputs, and the ovens are inputs.

Answer:

N° of Workers   Output      Marginal Product of Labor        Total

                          (Pizzas)          (Pizzas per worker)            Cost

        0               0                                  -                         $20

        1              60                                 60                       $50

        2             100                                 50                     $80

        3             130                            43.33                     $110

        4             150                              37.5                     $140

        5             160                                32                      $170

In the attached graph, the number of workers is given in the X axis, and the total production production of pizzas in the Y axis.

The green line represents Rina's total production function, while the blue line represents MPL. The total cost curve is represented by the orange line.

True or <u>False</u>: The shape of the production function reflects the law of increasing marginal returns. ⇒ FALSE, THE BLUE CURVE SHOWS THE LAW OF DECREASING MARGINAL RETURNS

Answer:The formula for calculating marginal product of labour is output/no of workers

Explanation:For each day ,you will divide the output by the number of workers to get the MPL

Day 1 = _ because no production took place

Day 2 = 60/1=60

Day 3 = 100/2 =50

Day 4 = 130/3 = 43.3

Day 5 = 150/4 =37.5

Day 6 =160/5 =32

This in in line with the law of diminishing marginal product of labour .

In the past, Taylor Industries has used a fixed−time period inventory system that involved taking a complete inventory count of
N76 [4]

Answer:

a) Taylor Industries can successfully cut back its labor cost in inventory stockrooms by counting only high-value items.  These items are determined by reference to their Annual Usage values.  The items' annual usage values should be used as the activity cost pool for accumulating and allocating labor cost in inventory stockrooms.  Taylor Industries can establish a benchmark or cutoff point so that only the items meeting this benchmark are counted.  For example, the items with annual usage value above $5,000 should be included in the items to be counted.  This strategy will reduce the number of items to be counted and therefore the labor cost.

b) Since item 15 is critical to Taylor Industries' continued operations, it should be classified as a direct materials cost and not an overhead cost.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

a random sample of 20 of Taylor's items:

ITEM NUMBER   ANNUAL USAGE    ITEM NUMBER    ANNUAL USAGE

1                               $ 1,500                      11                       $ 13,000

2                               12,000                     12                              600

3                                2,200                      13                        42,000

4                              50,000                     14                           9,900

5                                9,600                     15                            1,200

6                                   750                      16                         10,200

7                                2,000                      17                          4,000

8                               11,000                      18                         61,000

9                                  800                       19                         3,500

10                            15,000                      20                        2,900

Average annual usage value = $12,657.50

Compare and contrast the three options from the perspective of cost. Which one do you believe will provide the most economical s
Anvisha [2.4K]

Incomplete question. The full question read:

Power Force Corporation Kip Himmer, executive vice president of operations of Power Force Corporation (PFC), is feeling stressed out. The producer of power tools for the do-it-yourself market is experiencing higher fulfillment costs as retailers change their buying patterns. They all seem to want smaller, more frequent shipments to a larger number of locations. And, the retailers' service expectations are on the rise. They are demanding advanced shipping notification, RFID tags on all products, and improved inventory visibility. Gone are the days when the retailers bought power tools by the truckload for delivery to a few regionally dispersed distribution centers. Instead, they are asking for smaller shipments to multiple distribution centers and direct delivery to stores. Some retailers are also inquiring about PFC's ability to deliver orders for individual customers direct to their homes. This drop-shipping strategy is completely new to PFC and Himmer worries that it could create major bottlenecks at the company's centralized delivery center that sits next to the factory in Louiseville Kentucky. And, all of these new requirements are accompanied by shorter order cycle time goals. Himmer feels that he is stuck between a rock and a hard place as the major home improvement chain stores (Home Depot, Lowe's, and True Value) account for more than 80 percent of PFC's sales. Although compliance is proving to be very expensive, PFC cannot afford to deny the requests. Doing so would have an unwelcome effect on revenues. After consulting with his fulfillment team, Himmer has come to the conclusion that he has three reasonable options to address the emerging marketplace requirements.

Option 1 - Upgrade the existing PFC distribution center in Kentucky to handle multiple order types and smaller shipments. Deploy warehouse automation to improve order fulfillment speed and efficiency.

Options 2 - Expand the PFC fulfillment network. Add regional distribution centers in Nevada and New Jersey to the existing Kentucky distribution center. Modify operational processes and flows so that orders for delivery centers, stores, and individual consumers can be fulfilled.

Options 3 - Outsource fulfillment to a capable third party logistics company so that PFC can focus its efforts on quality production, accurate demand planning, and lean inventory management.

Himmer's next step is to fully evaluate the three options and choose a path forward before his upcoming meeting with Marcia Avis, the owner of PFC. Avis will ask tough questions and Himmer must be confident in his recommendations.

<em>Compare and contrast the three options from the perspective of customer service. Which one do you believe will provide the most economical solution for PFC?</em>

Answer:

<u>Options 3 - Outsource fulfillment to a capable third party logistics company so that PFC can focus its efforts on quality production, accurate demand planning, and lean inventory management.</u>

Explanation:

In terms of cost, it will be preferable if Himmer outsourced the fulfillment objectives to another company that is capable because if for example, they decide to go with:

option 1: they will need to set aside large funds investing in physical infrastructure; such as upgrading the existing PFC distribution center in Kentucky, buying warehouse automation tools, etc. Or they chose;

option 2: It also requires even more funds to be able to expand and add new regional distribution centers in Nevada and New Jersey, etc.

The Boxwood Company sells blankets for $ 32.00 each. The following was taken from the inventory records during May. The company
nika2105 [10]

Answer:

(C) $94.00

Explanation:

The computation of the cost of goods sold for the sale of May 20 is shown below:

= Remaining units × cost price + remaining units × cost price

= 4 units × $15 + 2 units × $17

= $60 + $34

= $94

The 4 units come from May 1 and May 10 i.e 9 units - 5 units = 4 units

And on May 20, the 6 units were sold out of which 4 units were sold at price of $15 and rest 2 units were sold at a price of $17
