A firm produces three products. Product A sells for $60; its variable costs are $20. Product B sells for $200; its variable costs are $120. Product C sells for $25; its variable costs are $10. Last year, the firm sold 1000 units of A 2000 units of B, and 10,000 units of C The firm has fixed costs of $320,000 per year. Calculate the break-even point of the firm.
Dart is a product of the Digby company. Digby's sales forecast for Dart is 2067 units. Digby wants to have an extra 10% of units on hand above and beyond their forecast in case sales are better than expected. (They would risk the possibility of excess inventory carrying charges rather than risk lost profits on a stock out.) Taking current inventory into account, what will Dart's Production After Adjustment have to be in order to have a 10% reserve of units available for sale? a. 2053 units b. 2274 units c. 2260 units d. 2067 units

Product D is stocked only at the AMC Chemical Company's Dallas warehouse and at the company's plant warehouse in Akron. The sales director has forecast product sales from the Dallas warehouse to be 40 units per week for the next 8 weeks. Product D is manufactured at the firm's Akron plant using 2 units of ingredient X per unit of product D. Suppose product D's actual sales at the Dallas warehouse in week 2 were 31 units. Again, all planned shipments/orders were released and expedite actions taken. What action would the master scheduler take on the basis of this information? In this situation, what modifications to the master production schedule might be taken?

27) Ali has a restaurant where the customers use a different number of disposable cups each day he is open. Every 30 days, Ali places an order to replenish his cup inventory. It takes 3 days for the order to arrive, at which point it brings the inventory level up to 4000 cups. It costs Ali $30 to have the order processed. Select all statements that apply to Ali's situation: Group of answer choices a) Ali uses a Continuous Inventory System b) d is constant c) Ali uses a Periodic Inventory System d) Ali uses a Fixed-Order-Quantity Inventory System e) Maximum Inventory Level is constant
Suppose the utility function for goods x and y is given by U(x,y) = xy + y4.1. Calculate the uncompensated (Marshallian) demand functions for x and y and describe how the demand curves for x and y are shifted by changes in I or the price of the other good.4.2. Calculate the expenditure function for x and y.4.3. Use the expenditure function calculated in (4.2) to compute the compensated demand functions for goods x and y. Describe how the compensated demand curves for x and y are shifted by changes in income or by changes in the price of the other good.4.4. Given money income = 6, px = 2, py = 2, calculate CV, EV, and consumer surplus when px becomes 4.

Your firm uses a periodic review system for all SKUs classified, using ABC analysis, as B or C items. Further, it uses a continuous review system for all SKUs classified as A items. The demand for a specific SKU, currently classified as an A item, has been dropping. You have been asked to evaluate the impact of moving the item from continuous review to periodic review. Assume your firm operates 52 weeks per year; the item’s current characteristics are:Demand 1D2 = 15,080 units/yearOrdering cost 1S2 = $125.00/orderHolding cost 1H2 = $3.00/unit/yearLead time 1L2 = 5 weeksCycle@service level = 95 percentDemand is normally distributed, with a standard deviation of weekly demand of 64 units.a. Calculate the item’s EOQ.b. Use the EOQ to define the parameters of an appropriate continuous review and periodic review system for this item.c. Which system requires more safety stock and by how much?
30) XYZ Company The XYZ Company uses 175 handles per day. The company operates 300 days per year. It costs $2.00 to carry one handle in inventory for one year. When handle inventory is low, an order is sent to the fabrication department to manufacture more handles. Fabrication can produce handles at a rate of 1500 per day and send the handles over to assembly while production is in progress. The setup for each production run costs $500. Assume the XYZ company orders 9,000 handles at a time (not necessarily the economic order quantity). The order receipt period = _____ days. Group of answer choices a) 6.0 b) 5.8 c) 30.0 d) 51.4 e) 50.0
Q: A hardware company stocks nuts and bolts and orders them from a local supplier once every 2 weeks (10 working days). Lead time is 2 days. The company has determined that the average demand for 1⁄2 inch bolts is 150 per week (5 working days), and it wants to keep a safety stock of 3 days’ supply on hand. An order is to be placed this week, and the stock on hand is 130 bolts.a. What is the target level?b. How many 1⁄2 inch bolts should be ordered this time?
