Northwoods Backpackers is a retail catalog store in Vermont that specializes in outdoor clothing and camping equipment. Phone or

ders are taken each day by a large pool of computer operators, some of whom are permanent and some temporary. A permanent operator can process an average of 76 orders per day, whereas a temporary operator can process an average of 53 orders per day. The company averages at least 600 orders per day. The store has 10 computer workstations. A permanent operator processes about 1.3 orders with errors each day, whereas a temporary operator averages 4.1 orders with errors daily. The store wants to limit errors to 24 per day. A permanent operator is paid $81 per day, including benefits, and a temporary operator is paid $50 per day. The company wants to know the number of permanent and temporary operators to hire to minimize costs.
Formulate an integer programming model for this problem and solve it by using the computer.

Answer:

The minimum cost ( Z ) will be = $636 per day

number of permanent operators = 6

number of temporary operators = 3

Explanation:

considering the information given: the company has ten (10) workstations and also uses both permanent and temporary operators below is the detailed job that can be achieved with this resources

Orders per day

permanent operator ; 76

temporary operator ; 53

company average : (minimum ) 600

Errors per day

permanent operator ; 1.3

temporary operator ; 4.1

average allowable error : maximum ( 24 )

pay per day ; permanent ( $81 ), temporary ( $50 )

creating an integer program model for this problem of finding the number of permanent and temporary operators to hire to minimize costs

Assume number of permanent operators to be X1  and temporary operators to be X2

cost of operators per day would be ( Z ) = 81 X1 + 50 X2  ( first constraint )

workstations to be used by operators = X1 + X2 ≤ 10 (second constraint )

Total number of processed order by operators = 76 X1 + 53 X2 ≥ 600 (third)

allowable errors by the company = 1.3 X1 + 4.1 X2 ≤ 24 ( fourth constraint )

The number of operators must be an Integer = X1 , X2 ≥ 0 ( fifth constraint )

create an excel linear program using both the details given and also the applying the constraints created.

The minimum cost ( Z ) will be = $636 per day

number of permanent operators = 6

number of temporary operators = 3

attached is a snapshot of the final excel linear program

A 15% increase in sales resulted in a 40% increase in net income for Company A and a 60% increase in net income for Company B. B
Ivahew [28]

company B has the greater operating leverage

What is operating leverage?

A cost-accounting method called operating leverage assesses how much a company or project can raise operating income by raising revenue. A company with significant operating leverage creates sales with a high gross margin and low variable costs.

The break-even point of a business is determined using operating leverage, which also aids in determining the right selling prices to cover all expenditures and make a profit.

Regardless of whether they sell any units of product, businesses with significant operational leverage must cover a bigger amount of fixed costs each month.

Low-operating-leverage businesses may have high variable costs that are directly related to sales, but they also have fewer monthly fixed expenses.

Answer:

Products         Selling price   Unit variable cost

                                $                       $

Junior                     50                      15

Adult                       75                      25

Expert                     <u>110 </u>                   <u> 60</u>

Total                      <u> 235 </u>                  <u> 100</u>

The sales price per composite unit = $235

The contribution margin per composite unit

= Composite selling price - Composite unit variable cost  

= $235 - $100

= $135

Break-even point in units

= <u>Fixed cost</u>

  Contribution per unit

= <u>$114,750</u>

  $135

= 850 units

Break-even point in dollars

= Break-even point in units x Composite selling price

= 850 units x $235

= $199,750

                     Income Statement    

                                                               $

Total contribution ($135 x 850 units)   114,750

Less: Fixed cost                                     <u>114,750</u>

Net profit                                                   <u> 0</u>

                                                                                                                                                                             

Explanation:

Sales price per composite unit is the aggregate of all the selling prices.

Contribution margin per composite unit equals composite selling price minus composite unit variable cost.

Break-even point in units is fixed cost divided per composite contribution margin per unit.

Break-even point in dollars equal break-even point in units multiplied by selling price.

Income statement is prepared by deducting the total fixed cost from the total contribution.

Ward and June are in the 32% tax bracket. A bond of Dell Computer Corporation with a face value of $10,000 is included in their
polet [3.4K]

Answer:

Tax Savings = 200

Explanation:

If Ward and June carry the bond, tax would be:

⇒ Interests * tax rate

⇒ 1000 * 32% = 320

They gift bond to their son, Wally, whose tax would be:

⇒ Interests * tax rate

⇒ 1000 * 12% = 120

The tax savings related to the transfer of Bond is:

⇒ 320 - 120 = 200
