- Manufacturers Inc. (MI) currently has a labor force of 10, which can produce 600 units per period. The labor cost is now $5000 per period per employee. The company has a long-standing rule that does not allow it to make use of any overtime. In addition, the product cannot be subcontracted, due to the specialized nature of the machinery that MI uses to produce it. As a result, MI can only increase/decrease production by hiring or laying off employees. The cost is $10000 to hire or lay off an employee. Inventory carrying costs are $200 per unit for any unsold items at the end of the period. The inventory level at the beginning of period 1 is 400 units. The forecast demand is 700 in period 1,600 in period 2,450 in period 3, 250 in period 4,500 in period 5, and 550 in period 6. a.) Compute the costs of the Chase Demand Strategy. b.)

Due to the nature of the job and space limitations, it was observed that two of the men were idle 37% of the time; one of the men was also idle an additional of the time, and at any given time only one man was required. The men were each paid P24.00 per hour. Each time the job was performed a set of tools and equipment with a value equivalent to P36.00 per hour was used. If the three-men crew could complete the work in 5 hours, which crew size would be the most economicalYou are an experienced machinist with a small tool shop. You have been asked to submit a bid to produce 12 special clamps for a new die that is under construction. You estimate that the material costs (metal and fasteners) for each clamp are $150.00. You also estimate that 10.65 labor hours are needed to produce the first clamp. The value of your labor is $50/hour. From similar orders in the past, you estimate that there is a 90% learning curve for this type of work. Using this information, what is the lowest total bid (cumulative price for 12 clamps) you should submit if you charge a 25% markup on material and you wish to recoup your labor costs? Hint: set up formulas in Excel (see Moodle video). This is a long problem. Round your answer to 2 decimal places and DO NOT include the $ sign or a comma. For example, answer 4567.89 and NOT $4,567.89 Answer: Check

Two processes have been identified that provide the same level of particulate reduction. The first process is expected to incur $350,000 of fixed cost and add $50 of variable cost to each casting Spartan produces. The second process has fixed costs of $150,000 and adds $90 of variable cost per casting.a. What is the break-even quantity beyond which the first process is more attractive?b. What is the difference in total cost if the quantity produced is 10,000?
