Question
A firm makes tow products X and Y and has a total production capacity of 9 tonnes per day, X and Y requiring the same production capacity. The firm has a permanent contract to supply as least 2 tonnes of x and at least 3 tonnes of Y per day to another company. Each tonne of X requires 20 machine-hours production time and each tonne of Y requires 50 machine-hours production time. The daily maximum possible number of machine-hours is 360. All the firm’s output can be sold, and the profit made is Rs. 80 per tonne of X and Rs. 120 per tonne of Y. It is required to determine the production schedule for maximum profit and to calculate this profit. Use graphical method to get your solution.

An outside manufacturer has offered to supply several component parts used in the engine assemblies, which are currently being produced by Waterway. The supplier will charge Waterway $315 per engine for the set of parts. Waterway's current costs for those part sets are direct materials, $140; direct labor, $80; and manufacturing overhead applied at 100% of direct labor. Variable manufacturing overhead is considered to be 20% of the total, and fixed overhead will not change if the part sets are acquired from the outside supplier. Required: a. What would be the net cost advantage or disadvantage if Waterway decided to purchase the parts? b. Should Waterway Engine continue to make the part sets or accept the offer to purchase them for $315? a. b. Waterway Engine Incorporated shouldarrow_forwardPlease help me. Thankyou.arrow_forward
- Mainstay Auto uses a standard part in the manufacture of several of its trucks. The cost of producing 40,000 parts is $120,000, which includes fixed costs of $60,000 and variable costs of $60,000. The company can buy the part from an outside supplier for $3.00 per unit, and avoid 30% of the fixed costs. Assume that factory space freed up by purchasing the part from an outside source can be used to manufacture another product that can be sold for $12,000 profit. If Mainstay Auto makes the part, what will its operating income be? Select one: a. $150,000 greater than if the company bought the part b. $30,000 greater than if the company bought the part c. $30,000 less than if the company bought the part d. $54,000 greater than if the company bought the part e. $54,000 less than if the company bought the partarrow_forwardPlease help mearrow_forwardPtarmigan Company produces two products.
