Transcribed Image Text:Brown's, a local bakery, is worried about increased costs particularly energy. Last year's records can provide a fairly
good estimate of the parameters for this year. Wende Brown, the owner, does not believe things have changed much,
but she did invest an additional $2,500 for modifications to the bakery's ovens to make them more energy efficient. The
modifications were supposed to make the ovens at least 15% more efficient. Brown has asked you to check the energy
savings of the new ovens and also to look over other measures of the bakery's productivity to see if the modifications
were beneficial. You have the following data to work with:
Last Year

350

3,000
Now
Production (dozen)
1,500
Labor (hours)
325
Capital Investment ($)
17,500
Energy (BTU)
2,750
% (enter your response as a percentage rounded to two decimal places and include

a minus sign if necessary).

- As operations manager of Holz Furniture, you must make a decision about adding a line of rustic furniture. In discussing the possibilities with your sales manager, Steve Gilbert, you decide that there will definitely be a market and that your firm should enter that market. However, because rustic furniture has a different finish than your standard offering, you decide you need another process line. There is no doubt in your mind about the decision, and you are sure that you should have a second process. But you do question how large to make it. A large process line is going to cost $425,000; a small process line will cost $350,000. The question, therefore, is the demand for rustic furniture. After extensive discussion with Mr. Gilbert and Rosalita Ferrera of Ferrera Market Research, Inc., you determine that the best estimate you can make is that there is a two-out-of-three chance of high demand resulting in $600,000 profit from sales and a one-out-of-three chance of low demand…arrow_forwardAnswer the following: Use the What-if Scenario Manager feature to show the individual and total costs if the number of hours required by the test personnel were 20% lower or 20% higher than the vendor estimate.
