Frontline Agricultural Processing Systems uses several ingredients to make wheatcrackers. After several years of operations and testing, their scientists found highprotein and carbohydrates in two of their ingredients, barley and corn. While anounce of barley costs $0.25, an ounce of corn costs $0.46. While an ounce of barleyprovides 9 mg of protein and 1 mg of carbohydrates, an ounce of corn provides 7 mgof protein and 5 mg of carbohydrates. Recently, demand for wheat crackers hasincreased. To lower the overall cost of producing wheat crackers, FrontlineAgricultural Processing Systems will want to know how many ounces of barley andcorn to include in each box of wheat crackers to meet the minimum requirements of160 milligrams of protein and 40 milligrams of carbohydrates.What is the range of optimality for the cost of corn?

Better Fitness, Inc. (BFI), manufactures exercise equipment at its plant in Freeport, Long Island. It recently designed two universal weight machines for the home exercise market. Both machines use BFI-patented technology that provides the user with an extremely wide range of motion capability for each type of exercise performed. Until now, such capabilities have been available only on expensive weight machines used primarily by physical therapists. At a recent trade show, demonstrations of the machines resulted in significant dealer interest. In fact, the number of orders that BF received at the trade show far exceeded its manufacturing capabilities for the current production period. As a result, management decided to begin production of the two machines. The two machines, which BFI named the BodyPlus 100 and the BodyPlus 200, require different amounts of resources to produce. The BodyPlus 100 consists of a frame unit, a press station, and a pec-dec station. Each frame produced…

Timber Solution Ltd., a communications equipment manufacturer, recently fell victim to a fraud scheme developed by one of its employees. To understand the scheme, it is necessary to review Timber Solution’s procedures for the purchase of services. The purchasing assistant is responsible for ordering services (such as repairs to a photocopy machine or office cleaning) after receiving a service requisition from an authorised manager. However, because no tangible goods are delivered, a receiving report is not prepared. When the Accounting Department receives an invoice billing Timber Solution for a service call, the accounts payable assistant calls the manager who requested the service to verify that it was performed. The fraud scheme involves Johnson Parry, the manager of plant and facilities. Johnson arranged for a company, Bamber Services, to be placed on Timber Solution approved supplier list. On several occasions, Johnson would submit a requisition for services to be provided by…
KALI, Inc., manufactures home appliances that are marketed under a variety of trade names. However, KALI does not manufacture every component used in its products. Several components are purchased directly from suppliers. For example, one of the components that KALI purchases for use in home air conditioners is an overload protector, a device that turns off the compressor if it overheats. The compressor can be seriously damaged if the overload protector does not function properly, and therefore KALI is concerned about the quality of the overload protectors. One way to ensure quality would be to test every component received through an approach known as 100% inspection. However, to determine proper functioning of an overload protector, the device must be subjected to time-consuming and expensive tests, and KALI cannot justify testing every overload protector it receives. Instead, KALI uses an acceptance sampling plan to monitor the quality of the overload protectors. The acceptance…
