A Systematic Approach to Long-Term Capacity Planning - Purple Swift manufactures birdhouses in lots of 10. Each birdhouse takes

45 minutes to paint. After 10 birdhouses are painted, the company switches paint color which requires a 1-hour changeover. The company works 8 hours per shift, one shift per day, 220 days per year. Currently the company has one paint booth. What is Purple Swift’s paint capacity cushion if it builds 2,000 birdhouses per year?

Answer:

3.4%

Explanation:

The computation of the  Purple Swift’s paint capacity cushion is shown below:

Time to paint 10 birdhouses (45 × 10 ÷ 60) 7.5 hours

Changeover time  1 hours

Total Operations time per lot (7.5 + 1) 8.5 hours

Hours available per year (8 × 220)   1760  

Capacity (number of lots each year) (1760 ÷ 8.5) 207.06  

Capacity (number of birdhouses each year) =207.06*10 2070.6  

Actual Production given 2000  

Utilization (2000 ÷ 2070.6) 96.6%  

Capacity cushion = 100% - Utilization

= 100% - 96.6%

= 3.4%

Wimpy Inc. produces and sells a single product. The selling price of the product is $185.00 per unit and its variable cost is $5
Aleonysh [2.5K]

The formula for the calculation is

<u>CM ratio = Unit contribution margin ÷ Unit selling price </u>

The break-even in monthly dollar sales is closest to $578,100

Explanation:

The formula for the calculation is

<u>CM ratio = Unit contribution margin ÷ Unit selling price </u>

<u></u>

<u>Given that </u>

<u>Selling price of the product=</u>$185.00 per unit

variable cost=$55.50 per unit

fixed expense=$404,670 per month

<u></u>

= ($185.00 per unit − $55.50 per unit) ÷ $185.00 per unit

= $129.50 per unit ÷ $185.00 per unit = 0.70

<u>Dollar sales to break even = Fixed expenses ÷ CM ratio </u>

= $404,670 ÷ 0.70

= $578,100

The break-even in monthly dollar sales is closest to $578,100

Yuliya22 [10]

Assuming an upward-sloping as curve, if consumption spending falls while all other levels of expenditure stay the same in an economy that is at full employment, a GDP gap will be visible.

Retail store managers will take activities that result in greater Unemployment when undesirable inventories build up.

<h3>What is GDP?</h3>
  • Gross domestic product (GDP) is a monetary indicator of the total market worth of all the finished products that nations create over a certain time period.
  • This measurement is frequently changed before it can be trusted as an indicator because of how complicated and subjective it is.
  • Consumption, investment, government spending, exports, and imports make up the components of the GDP when it is calculated using the expenditures method.
  • Gross fixed capital formation, changes in inventories, changes in consumption expenditure (by households, NPISHs, and general government),
  • And exports of goods and services are all included in the calculation of gross domestic product (GDP), which is then subtracted from imports of goods and services.

madreJ [45]

Answer:

c. $3,150

Explanation:

The computation of the gross income is shown below:

= Interest on savings accounts + Interest on a State bond + Interest portion of proceeds of a 5% bank certificate of deposit + Dividends on USG common stock

= $2,000 + $600 + $250 + $300

= $3,150

We do not consider the school bonds as it would not be included in the gross income. So, we ignored it
