Scenario 3 Ben Gibson, the purchasing manager at Coastal Products, was reviewing purchasing expenditures for packaging materials with Jeff Joyner. Ben was particularly disturbed about the amount spent on corrugated boxes purchased from Southeastern Corrugated. Ben said, I dont like the salesman from that company. He comes around here acting like he owns the place. He loves to tell us about his fancy car, house, and vacations. It seems to me he must be making too much money off of us! Jeff responded that he heard Southeastern Corrugated was going to ask for a price increase to cover the rising costs of raw material paper stock. Jeff further stated that Southeastern would probably ask for more than what was justified simply from rising paper stock costs. After the meeting, Ben decided he had heard enough. After all, he prided himself on being a results-oriented manager. There was no way he was going to allow that salesman to keep taking advantage of Coastal Products. Ben called Jeff and told him it was time to rebid the corrugated contract before Southeastern came in with a price increase request. Who did Jeff know that might be interested in the business? Jeff replied he had several companies in mind to include in the bidding process. These companies would surely come in at a lower price, partly because they used lower-grade boxes that would probably work well enough in Coastal Products process. Jeff also explained that these suppliers were not serious contenders for the business. Their purpose was to create competition with the bids. Ben told Jeff to make sure that Southeastern was well aware that these new suppliers were bidding on the contract. He also said to make sure the suppliers knew that price was going to be the determining factor in this quote, because he considered corrugated boxes to be a standard industry item. As the Marketing Manager for Southeastern Corrugated, what would you do upon receiving the request for quotation from Coastal Products?
• Use this information for the question below. Low-Grade Copper Ore $571 per Ton High-Grade Copper Ore $843 per Ton Coloma Cooper Incorporated is able to produce $640 worth of copper from one ton of low-grade copper ore. Because of its higher copper content, Coloma can produce $940 worth of copper from one ton of high-grade copper ore. A mining company is offering to trade 7,250 tons of low-grade copper ore for 5,000 tons of high-grade copper ore. Assuming Coloma currently has 5,000 tons of high-grade ore, what should it do?

Problem 20-7 (Algo) Wholemark is an Internet order business that sells one popular New Year greeting card once a year. The cost of the paper on which the card is printed is $0.29 per card, and the cost of printing is $0.10 per card. The company receives $3.75 per card sold. Since the cards have the current year printed on them, unsold cards have no salvage value. Their customers are from the four areas: Los Angeles, Santa Monica, Hollywood, and Pasadena. Based on past data, the number of customers from each of the four regions is normally distributed with mean 2,300 and standard deviation 200. (Assume these four are independent.) What is the optimal production quantity for the card? (Use Excel's NORMSINV() function to find the correct critical value for the given a-level. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round Normsinv value to 4 decimal places. Roundup your answer to the nearest whole number.) Optimal production quantity
Problem 11-4 (Algo) The local supermarket buys lettuce each day to ensure really fresh produce. Each morning, any lettuce that is left from the previous day is sold to a dealer that resells it to farmers who use it to feed their animals. This week, the supermarket can buy fresh lettuce for $6.00 a box. The lettuce is sold for $12.00 a box and the dealer that sells old lettuce is willing to pay $1.40 a box. Past history says that tomorrow's demand for lettuce averages 230 boxes with a standard deviation of 33 boxes. How many boxes of lettuce should the supermarket purchase tomorrow? Note: Use Excel's NORM.S.INV() function to find the z value. Round your answer to the nearest whole number. Number of boxes
Problem 3-14 (Algo) Demand for stereo headphones and music players for joggers has caused Nina Industries to grow almost 50 percent over the past year. The number of joggers continues to expand, so Nina expects demand for headsets to also expand, because, as yet, no safety laws have been passed to prevent joggers from wearing them. Demand for the players for this year was as follows: MONTH DEMAND (UNITS) 4,150 4,25e 3,950 4, 350 4,95e 4,650 5,25e 4,850 5,35e 5,65e 6,25e 5,95e January February March Аpril Мay June July August September October November December a.

Q4) Jackson Hole Manufacturing is a small manufacturer of plastic products used in theautomotive and computer industries. One of its major contracts is with a large computercompany and involves the production of plastic printer cases for the computer company’sportable printers. The printer cases are produced on two injection molding machines. The M-100machine has a production capacity of 25 printer cases per hour, and the M-200 machine has aproduction capacity of 40 cases per hour. Both machines use the same chemical material to produce the printer cases; the M-100 uses 40 pounds of the raw material per hour and the M-200uses 50 pounds per hour. The computer company asked Jackson Hole to produce as many of thecases during the upcoming week as possible; it will pay $18 for each case Jackson Hole candeliver. However, next week is a regularly scheduled vacation period for most of Jackson Hole’sproduction employees; during this time, annual maintenance is performed for all equipment inthe…
