or the new product wants to know how often the machine used to produce the item will be available for other work. The machine will produce the item at a rate of 200 units a day. Eighty units will be used daily in assembling the final product. Assembly will take place five days a week, 50 weeks a year. The manager estimates that it will take a full day to get the machine ready for a production run, at a cost of $250. Inventory holding costs will be $10 a year.
Required:
a. What run quantity should be used to minimize total annual costs?
b. What is the length of a production run in days?
c. During production, at what rate will inventory build-up?
d. lf the manager wants to run another job between runs of this item, and needs a minimum of 10 days per cycle for the other work, will there be enough time?
e. Given your answer to part d, the manager wants to explore options that will allow this other job to be performed using this equipment. Name three options the manager can consider.
f. Suppose the manager decides to increase the run size of the new product. How many additional units would be needed to just accommodate the other job? How much will that increase the total annual cost?

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Explanation:

Given that :

Production rate (p) = 200 units / day

daily usage (d) = 80 units / day

Assembly, a = 5 days a week ; 50 weeks a year

Setup cost (S) = $250

Holding cost (H )= $10

A) Run quantity to minimize total annual cost:

√(2DS/H) * √p / (p - d)

D = annual demand = (80 * 5 * 50) = 20,000

√(2(20000)(250)/10) * √200 / (200 - 80)

1000 * 1.2909944

= 1290.99

= 1291 units

B) Run length :

1291 / 200 = 6.455 days

C) Inventory build up:

Daily production - daily usage:

(200 - 80) = 120 units / day

Greece can produce either 100 bushels of oranges or 20 bushels of tomatoes using all of its available resources, and Turkey can
lakkis [162]

Answer:

100 bushels of oranges

Explanation:

A country has comparative advantage in production if it produces at a lower opportunity cost when compared to other countries.

for Greece

opportunity cost of producing oranges = 20 / 100 = 0.2

opportunity cost of producing tomatoes = 100/ 20 = 5

For turkey

opportunity cost of producing oranges = 30 / 40 = 0.75

opportunity cost of producing tomatoes = 40 / 30 = 1.33

Greece has a comparative advantage in the production of oranges. If it specialises in the production of oranges, it would produce 100 bushels

Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

B) 3 scarves

Explanation:

total fixed costs per day = $60 (rent)

selling price per scarf = $40

variable cost per scarf = $15

contribution margin = selling price per unit - variable cost per unit = $40 - $15 = $25

break even formula in units = total fixed costs / contribution margin = $60 / $25 = 2.4 units, since you can only sell complete units, the break even amount is 3 scarves.

Using the following information, what is the amount of gross profit?​
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

Gross profit= $54,700

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Purchases $37,000

Merchandise inventory, September 1 6,100

Merchandise inventory, September 30 6,800

Sales 91,000

<u>First, we need to calculate the cost of goods sold:</u>

COGS= beginning finished inventory + cost of goods purchased - ending finished inventory

COGS= 6,100 + 37,000 - 6,800

COGS= $36,300

<u>Now, the gross profit:</u>

Gross profit= sales - COGS

Gross profit= 91,000 - 36,300

Gross profit= $54,700
