PLEASE FIX THE RED



Problem 11-6 (Static) Manager Chris Channing of Fabric Mills, Inc., has developed the forecast shown in the table for bolts of cloth. The figures are in hundreds of bolts. The department has a normal capacity of 275(00) bolts per month, except for the seventh month, when capacity will be 250(00) bolts. Normal output has a cost of $40 per hundred bolts. Workers can be assigned to other jobs if production is less than normal. The beginning inventory is zero bolts. Month Forecast 1 250 2 300 3 250 4 300 5 280 6 275 7 270 Total 1,925 Click here for the Excel Data File: a. Develop a chase plan that matches the forecast and compute the total cost of your plan. Overtime is $60 per hundred bolts. (Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign. Leave no cells blank - be certain to enter "O" wherever required.) Answer is complete and correct.

Would the total cost be less with regular production with no overtime, but using a subcontractor to handle the excess above normal capacity at a cost of $50 per hundred bolts? Backlogs are not allowed. The inventory carrying cost is $2 per hundred bolts. (Round your Average inventory values to 1 decimal place. Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign. Leave no cells blank - be certain to enter "O" wherever required.) Answer is complete but not entirely correct.
