The daily demand for parts from a machining workcell JMB to an assembly workcell is 1,600 units. The average processing time is

25 seconds per unit. A container spends, on average, 6 hours waiting at JMB before it is processed. Each container holds 250 parts. Currently 10 containers are being used for the part.
What percent safety margin of stock is being carried?

If you wanted to retain the safety margin, but remove one container, to what value must the waiting time be reduced?

What would happen if the demand for the parts increased to 1,900 with K = 10?

Answer:

Daily demand for parts = 1600 units

Avg processing time = 25 seconds.

Capacity of a container = 250 units

Waiting time of a container before the JMB = 6 hours

Number of containters currently deployed = 10

Solution:

Total number of parts carried by the containter = 10 x 250 = 2500 parts.

Total numbers carried in excess as safety stock = 2500-1600 = 900

Percentage of safety stock = (900/1600) x 100 = 56.25%

If one container is removed total parts carried = 2250 units

Processing time at machine for 250 parts after loading in JMB = 250 x 25 seconds = 1.736 hours, but it has to wait for another 4.26 hours for the next container to be loaded because of the waiting time of the containter is 6 hours.

Processing time at machine for 1600 parts = 1600 x 25 seconds = 11.11 hours

Number of containers required for 1600 parts = 1600/250= 6.4 ~ 7 containters

Waiting time of 7 containers = 7 x 4.26 = 29.82 hours.

If one of the containers has to be removed 1600 parts has to be carried in 6 containers ie., 29.82hours - 6 hours = 23.82hours

Waiting time per container before loading = 23.82/6 = 3.97 hours.

Reduced Total waiting time of the container = 3.97 hours + the processing time of 250 parts = 3.97 + 1.736 =5.7hours ~ 5 hours and 42 minutes

Answer:

                                                                                                   Automated

Sales (19,500 units at $30 per unit)            $585,000            $585,000

Variable expenses                                        409,500               351,000

Contribution margin                                       175,500              234,000

Fixed expenses                                              180,000              252,000

Net operating loss                                          $(4,500)           $( 18,000)

New Cm ratio=  Contribution Margin/ Sales Revenue

                      = $ 234,000 $ 585,000 = 0.4

Break-even point in  dollars=  Fixed Costs/ 1- (variable Cost/ Sales)

                                            =  252,000/ 1- (351,000/ 585,000)

                                             = 252,000/ 1-0.6

                                               = 252,000/0.4= $ 630,000

The resulting $ 630,000 is the break even point at which neither a loss nor a profit is incurred.This can be checked as follows.

Sales                                                                         $ 630,000

Variable Costs  ( 60 % $ 630,000)                          $ 378,000

Contribution Margin                                                   $ 252,000

Less Fixed Expense                                                   <u>$ 252,000</u>

Profit                                                                           <u>       0            </u>

Break even point in units =  Fixed Costs/ Contribution Margin in units

                                         = $ 252,000/ (30-18)

                                          =$ 252,000/ $ 12= 21,000 units

Two Contribution format Income Statements:

Sales (26,000 units at $30 per unit)           $780,000            $780,000

Variable expenses                                        546,000               468,000

Fixed expenses                                              180,000              252,000

Net operating Profit                                     $ 54,000                $ 60,000

Working:

Variable Costs per unit = $ 409500/19500=  $ 21

After reduction variable costs = $ 21- $3= $ 18

Consider the following financial statement information for the Hop Corporation:
EastWind [94]

Answer: Operating cycle = 84.70 days

Cash cycle = 41 days

Explanation:

Beginning inventory = $11,100

Ending Inventory = $12,100

Average inventory = ($11100 + $12100)/2 = 11600

Average Accounts receivable = (6,100 + 6,400)/2 = 6250

Average Accounts payable = (8,300 + 8,700)/2 = 8500

Day sales in inventory = Average inventory × 365 / Cost of goods sold

= 11600 × 365 / 71000 = 59.63 days

Average collection period = Average receivable × 365 / Credit sales

= 6250 × 365 /91000 = 25.07 days

Average payment period = 43.70 days

Therefore, operating cycle will be:

= Day sales in inventory + Average collection period

= 59.63 days + 25.07 days

= 84.70 days

Cash cycle = Operating cycle - Average payment period

= 84.70 - 43.70

= 41 days

For a differentiation strategy to strengthen a company's strategic position and boost its competitive advantage, ______.
Tanya [424]

For a differentiation strategy to maintain a company's strategic situation and increase its competitive advantage an increase in value creation much surpass the increase in costs.

<h3>How does a differentiation strategy benefit in gaining a competitive advantage?</h3>

Differentiation gives a party two advantages:

-It can allow the firm to charge a premium price for its good or service, should it choose to do so.

-It can help the firm to grow overall need and capture market share from its rival.

A generic strategy attempts to convince clients to pay a premium price for its good or services by supplying unique and desirable features. Using a differentiation strategy suggests that a firm is contesting based on uniqueness, rather than price.
