Manufacturing Aggregate Planning Manufacturers Inc. (MI) currently has a labor force of 10, which can produce 600 units per period. The labor cost is now $5000 per period per employee. The company has a long-standing rule that does not allow it to make use of any overtime. In addition, the product cannot be subcontracted, due to the specialized nature of the machinery that MI uses to produce it. As a result, MI can only increase/decrease production by hiring or laying off employees. The cost is $10000 to hire or lay off an employee. Inventory carrying costs are $200 per unit for any unsold items at the end of the period. The inventory level at the beginning of period 1 is 400 units. The forecast demand is 700 in period 1,600 in period 2,450 in period 3, 250 in period 4,500 in period 5, and 550 in period 6. a.) Compute the costs of the Chase Demand Strategy. b.) Compute the costs of the Level Strategy c.) Compare the costs of the two strategies. Which one is superior?
Spartan Castings must implement a manufacturing process that reduces the amount of particulates emitted into the atmosphere. Two processes have been identified that provide the same level of particulate reduction. The first process is expected to incur $350,000 of fixed cost and add $50 of variable cost to each casting Spartan produces. The second process has fixed costs of $150,000 and adds $90 of variable cost per casting.a. What is the break-even quantity beyond which the first process is more attractive?b. What is the difference in total cost if the quantity produced is 10,000?

Pleasant Stay Medical Inc. wishes to determine its product costs. Pleasant Stay offers a variety of medical procedures (operations) that are considered its “products.” The overhead has been separated into three major activities. The annual estimated activity costs and activity bases follow: Activity Budgeted Activity Cost Activity Base Scheduling and admitting $432,000 Number of patients Housekeeping 4,212,000 Number of patient days Nursing 5,376,000 Weighted care unit Total costs $10,020,000 Total “patient days” are determined by multiplying the number of patients by the average length of stay in the hospital. A weighted care unit (wcu) is a measure of nursing effort used to care for patients. There were 192,000 weighted care units estimated for the year. In addition, Pleasant Stay estimated 6,000 patients and 27,000 patient days for the year. (The average patient is expected to have a…

Fedori Corporation has a Parts Division that does work for other Divisions in the company as well as for outside customers. The company's Machinery Division has asked the Parts Division to provide it with 4,000 special parts each year. The special parts would require P23.00 per unit in variable production costs. The Machinery Division has a bid from an outside supplier for the special parts at P37.00 per unit. In order to have time and space to produce the special part, the Parts Division would have to cut back production of another part-the YR24 that it presently is producing. The YR24 sells for P40.00 per unit, and requires P28.00 per unit in variable production costs. Packaging and shipping costs of the YR24 are P3.00 per unit. Packaging and shipping costs for the new special part would be only P1.50 per unit. The Parts Division is now producing and selling 15,000 units of the YR24 each year. Production and sales of the YR24 would drop by 20% if the new special part is produced for…
