The Pee Tool Shop has four heavy presses it uses to stamp out prefabricated metal covers and housings
for electronic consumer products. All four presses operate differently and are of different sizes.
Currently the firm has a contract to produce three products. The contract calls for 400 units of product
1; 570 units of product 2; and 320 units of product 3. The time (in minutes) required for each product
to be produced on each machine is as follows: SOLVE THE MODEL BY USING MS EXCEL
Pneumatics Engineering purchased a machine that had a fi rst cost of $40,000, an expected useful life of 8 years, a recovery period of 10 years, and a salvage value of $10,000. The operating cost of the machine is expected to be $15,000 per year. The inflation rate is 6% per year and the company’s MARR is 11% per year. Determine the depreciation charge for year 3 according to the straight line method. (UNITS ARE REQUIRED)
amyo Manufacturing produces four parts that require the use of a lathe and a drillpress. The two machines operate 10 hours a day. The following table provides the time inminutes required by each part:It is desired to balance the two machines by limiting thedifference between their total operation times to at most 30 minutes. The market demand for each part is at least 10 units. Additionally, the number of units of part 1 may not exceed that of part 2.
