A manufacturing company wants to increase capacity by adding a new machine. The firm is considering proposals from vendor A and vendor B. The annual fixed costs for machine A are $20,000 and for machine B, $35,000. The variable cost for A is $12 per unit and for B, $8. The revenue per unit is $30. Identify the annual production volumes for which each of the machines would be chosen.

4. C&A uses two steps to make a toy. Step 1 takes 20 seconds. Step 2 takes 15 seconds. Each step is staffed by one worker, for a total of two workers. Each worker is paid $15 per hour. Each toy is sold for $20. Material costs are $5 per toy and fixed costs are $500 per hour. Assume demand is unlimited. Answer the following questions. a. How much profit does C&A make per hour? b. What will be the impact on C&A's profit per hour if the processing time of step 2 is reduced to 10 seconds? c. Demand rate is 120 toys per hour. How much profit does C&A make per hour? Assume the worker's pay is a variable cost. 5. You are a manager of CircuitTown, which sells Xbox2010. The demand for Xbox2010 in the holiday season is 200 units with probability 0.8 and 400 units with probability 0.2. You have to take an order from MSFT in advance. You can either purchase 200 units or 400 units. The purchase price is $150 per unit and the retail price is $300 per unit. After the holiday, you dump unsold units to…

"I'm not sure we should lay out $265,000 for that automated welding machine," said Jim Alder, president of the Superior Equipment Company. "That's a lot of money, and it would cost us $78,000 for software and installation, and another $40,800 per year just to maintain the thing. In addition, the manufacturer admits it would cost $41,000 more at the end of three years to replace worn-out parts." "I admit it's a lot of money," said Franci Rogers, the controller. “But you know the turnover problem we’ve had with the welding crew. This machine would replace six welders at a cost savings of $108,000 per year. And we would save another $6,900 per year in reduced material waste. When you figure that the automated welder would last for six years, I'm sure the return would be greater than our 19% required rate of return." "I'm still not convinced," countered Mr. Alder. "We can only get $14,000 scrap value out of our old welding equipment if we sell it now, and in six years the new machine will…
