Problem 7.1 Question Help Borges Machine Shop, Inc., has a 1-year contract for the production of 200,000 gear housings for a new off-road vehicle. Owner Luis Borges hopes the contract will be extended and the volume increased next year. Borges has developed costs for three alternatives. They are general-purpose equipment (GPE), flexible manufacturing system (FMS), and expensive, but efficient, dedicated machine (DM). The cost data follow: Annual contracted units Annual fixed cost Per unit variable cost General Purpose Equipment (GPE) 200,000 $125,000 $16.00 Flexible Manufacturing System (FMS) 200,000 $250,000 $14.75 Dedicated Machine (DM) 200,000 $500,000 $13.75 Part Based on the cost, the process that is best suited for the current contracted volume is DM GPE FMS Q DM Score: 0 of 1 pt 3 of 9 (0 complete) Problem 7.8 Question Help your Matthew Baley, as manager of Designs by Bailey, is upgrading his CAD software. The high-performance (HP) software rents for $3,000 per month per workstation. The standard-performance (SP) software rents for $1,800 per month per workstation. The productivity figures that he has available suggest that the HP software is faster for his kind of design. Therefore, with the HP software he will need 5 engineers and with the SP software he will need 6. This translates into a variable cost of $200 per drawing for the HP system and $240 per drawing for the SP system, If it is projected that the volume will be 80 drawings per month, then renting software is the best option available to Matthew. high-performance standard performance Partial Credi Problem S7.3 Question Help If a plant has an effective capacity of 6,000 and an efficiency of 80%, then its actual (planned) output = units (enter your response as a whole number) Question Help 1 Problem S7.5 Material delays have routinely limited production of household sinks to 400 units per day. If the plant efficiency is 75%, then its effective capacity - sinks per day (round your answer to the nearest whole number). Problem S7.32 Question Help James Lawson's Bed and Breakfast, in a small historic Mississippi town, must decide how to subdivide (remodel) the large old home that will become its inn. There are three alternatives: Option A would modernize all baths and combine rooms, leaving the inn with four suites, each suitable for two to four adults. Option B would modernize only the second floor, the results would be six suites, four for two to four adults, two for two adults only. Option (the status quo option) leaves all walls intact. In this case, there are eight rooms available, but only two are suitable for four adults, and four rooms will not have private baths. Below are the details of profit and demand patterns that will accompany each option: your Annual Profit under Various Demand Patterns Alternatives High P Average P A modemize all) $94,000 0.50 $25,000 0.50 B (modemize 2nd) $84,000 0.30 $75,000 0.70 C (status quo $62,000 0.35 $55,000 0.65 This exercise contains only part b. y, with an expected value offround your response to the newest Partial Credit b) The option with the highest expected value for James Lawson's Bed and Breakfast is whole number) B Question Question Question 9 Enter your answer in the answer box and then click Check Answer C Am CA Management 120 All parts showing
