Answer:

a. The Optimal run size is 5,086 hot dogs

b. The Number of runs per year is 18

c. The Run length is 1 day

Explanation:

a. According to the given data we have the following:

Daily production, p = 4500 per day

Daily demand, u = 310 per day

Number of working days in a year, Tyear = 295 days

Annual demand, D = Daily demand x number of working days; D = 310 x 295; D = 91450

Setup cost, S = $60

Annual holding cost, H = $0.45 per hot dog

So, Optimal run-size can be calculated as follows:

Q* = √ 2 x annual demand x Setup cost / holding cost per unit per year x √daily production / daily production - daily demand

Q* = √2DS / H x √p / p-u

Q* = (√ 2 x 91450 x 60 / 0.45) x (√ 4500 / 4500 - 310)

Q* = (√24386667) x (√1.07)

Q* = (4938.29) x (1.03)

Q* = 5086.44 = 5,086

Therefore, Optimal run size is 5,086 hot dogs

b) The  Number of runs per year can be calculated as follows:

Cycle time = Q / u

Cycle time = 5086 / 310 = 16 days

Number of runs = Tyear / cycle time

Number of runs = 295 / 16 = 18

The Number of runs per year is 18

c) The Run length or run time can be calculated as follows:

Run time = Q / p

Run time = 5086 / 4500

Run time = 1.13 = 1

Run length is 1 day

Anthony Herrera recently fulfilled his long-time dream of opening a gym that offers spinning exercise classes for $5.42 per pers
Alik [6]

Answer:

(a) $3.48 per unit

(b) 64.2%

Explanation:

(a) Anthony’s contribution margin per unit:

= Selling price per unit - Variable cost per unit

= $5.42 - $1.94

= $3.48 per unit

Therefore, the Anthony’s contribution margin per unit is $3.48 per unit.

(b) Anthony's contribution margin ratio:

= (Contribution Margin Per unit ÷ Selling Price per unit) × 100

= ($3.48 per unit ÷ $5.42 per unit) × 100

= 0.6420 × 100

= 64.20%

Therefore, the Anthony's contribution margin ratio is 64.2%.
