7 Problem 16-12 (Algo) S Your company assembles five different models of a motor scooter that is sold in specialty stores in the United States. The company uses the same engine for all five models. You have been given the assignment of choosing a supplier for these engines for the coming year. Due to the size of your warehouse and other administrative restrictions, you must order the engines in lot sizes of 1,040 units. Because of the unique characteristics of the engine, special tooling is needed during the manufacturing process for which you agree to reimburse the supplier. Your assistant has obtained quotes from two reliable engine suppliers and you need to decide which to use. The following data have been collected: Book Print Requirements (annual forecast) Weight per engine Order processing cost Inventory carry cost 12, 480 units 25 pounds $ 215 per order 20 percent of the average value of inventory per year Sences Note: Assume that half of lot size is in inventory on average (1,040/2 = 520 units). Two qualified suppliers have submitted the following quotations: ORDER QUANTITY 1 to 1,499 units/order 1,500 to 2,999 units/order 3,000 + units/order Tooling costs SUPPLIER 1 UNIT PRICE $ 556 552 550 $25,900 115 miles SUPPLIER 2 UNIT PRICE 554 554 548 $22,000 100 miles Voucictan Your assistant has obtained the following freight rates from your carrier: Truckload (42,000 lbs. each load): Less-than-truckload: $0.80 per ton-mile $1.20 per ton-mile Note: Per ton-mile = 2,000 lbs. per mile. a-1. Calculate the total cost for each supplier. (Round your answers to the nearest whole number.) Supplier 1 Supplier 2 Total cost a-2. Which supplier would you select? b-1. If you could move the lot size up to ship in truckload quantities, calculate the total cost for each supplier. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round "Required lot size for truckload" and final answers to the nearest whole number.) HINT: Use (full) truckload cost rates and the lowest (feasible) unit cost for all calculations. For example, if there are 8.3 orders per year, don't split the 8.3 orders into 8 full truckloads and 0.3 less-than-truckloads - use the full truckload rate for all 8.3 orders. For annual purchase cost, don't use two different unit costs for the 8 complete orders and the 0.3 partial orders - use the lowest (feasible) unit cost for all 8.3 purchase orders based on the lot size needed for a full truckload. Supplier 1 Supplier 2 Total cost b-2. Would your supplier selection change? Yes No
