A small firm produces and sells novelty items in a five-barangay area. The firm expects to consolidate assembly of its greeting cards line at a single location. Currently, operations are in three widely scattered locations. The leading candidate for location will have a monthly fixed cost of Php 42,000 and variable costs of Php3 per card. Card sell for Pho7 each. Prepare a table that shows total profits, fixed costs, variable costs, and revenues for monthly volumes of 10,000, 12,000, and 15,000 units. What is the break- even point?

Dobb's Ltd Wants to choose the best location for its new aluminum plant. The manager ofproductions and operations has three possible locations to choose from. His assistantrecommends that he use break-even analysis location technique to help determine whichlocation is best based on costs. Assuming: Total fixed cost = 80,000 Price per unit= 20 AVC (Average variable cost) = 40 Break-even point= Total fixed cost / (AVC-Price per unit) Break-even point = 80,000/ (40-20) Break-even point = 4,000 1) Demonstrate to the OM manager using graph how to go about choosing the best location using thenumerical example designed above.

a. A farmers' cooperative association plans to build a new sugar mill in Georgetown. The primary objective of the mill is to provide the farmers with a place to take their crop for processing that will reduce their transportation costs. The members of the co-op believe that the center-of-gravity method is appropriate for this objective. While there are over 200 sugar cane farms in the region, they are tightly clustered around six villages. Using the data below, use the center-of-gravity method to calculate the coordinates of the best location for this mill. All mileage references use Browns Town as (0,0).

Small Potatoes is a family-operated seed business that has grown rapidly. Small Potatoes specializes in supplying home gardeners with the finest seeds and gardening supplies. Until now, the firm has done all its business by placing ads in gardening and health magazines, and taking orders using a toll-free telephone number. Now, the family has decided to establish a website and sell online, but there is some disagreement about the best way to proceed. Some say it would be better to develop the site on their own, and Betty Lou Jones, a recent computer science graduate, believes she can handle the task. Others, including Sam Jones, Betty’s grandfather, feel it would be better to outsource the site and focus on the business itself. Suppose the family asked for your opinion. What approach would you take? What additional questions would you ask? Does this appear to identify diversity, equity and inclusion?
