A company produces two products, A and B. The sales volume for A is at least 80% of the total salces for both A and B. However,

the company cannot sell more than 100 units of A per day. Both products use one raw material, of which the maximum daily availability is 240 lb. The usage rater of the raw material are 2lb per unit of A and 4 lb per unit of B. The profit units for A and B are $20 and $50, repectively. Set this problem up as a linear program to determine the optimal product mix for the company. Then solve using excel. Next, answer the following questions: 1. How much should the company be willing to pay to increase the number of units of A that it can sell

Answer:

i) Z = 20( 80 ) + 50(20 ) =  $2600

ii) $3000

Explanation:

representing products  A and B as x₁ and x₂

using the given data

Max ( z ) = 20x₁ + 50x₂  ( optimal product mix for optimal profit )  ---- ( 1 )

0.8 ( x₁ + x₂ )  ≥ 0

0.8x₁  + 0.8x₂ ≥ 0 ------------ ( 2 )

also  x₁ ≤ 100 --- ( 3 )    considering the amount to be sold ( sales volume )

based on the availability of raw material

2x₁ + 4x₂ ≤ 240 ----- ( 4 )

resolve equations 2, 3, and 4 graphically

x₁ = 80 units , x₂ = 20 units

back to equation 1

Z = 20( 80 ) + 50(20 )

   = 1600 + 1000  = $2600

ii) To increase the number of units of A produced

given that x₁ ≤ 100   and the actual optimal units produced = 80 units

2600 + 20(100-80)

= 2600 + 20(20)  = 2600 + 400 = $3000

AysviL [449]

Answer:

Customer and Product Margin under Activity-based Costing and Traditional Costing

True Statements:

1. If a customer orders more frequently, but orders the same total number of units over the course of a year, the customer margin under activity based costing will decrease.

2. If a customer orders more frequently, but orders the same total number of units over the course of a year, the product margin under a traditional costing system will be unaffected.

Explanation:

Customer Margin is the difference between the total revenue generated from a customer minus the acquisition and service costs.   In the above instance, the customer margin decreases because of the costs of servicing the customer's frequent orders.  Customer service costs are usually higher with more frequent orders, when activity-based costing is employed because frequent orders increase the activity level and the associated costs.

Product Margin is the profit margin generated per product.   It is the markup on the cost of the product.  It shows the difference in amount between the selling price and the manufacturing cost.  Frequent orders cannot change the product margin under the traditional costing technique unlike it does with the activity-based costing technique.
