Refer to Exercise A5.1 in your textbook. Assuming that 90% improvement curve is more appropriate for the entire project and desired profit is 20% to win over the competition, the total price paid for 90 units is: Add your answer Integer, decimal, or E notation allowed World Satellite Telephone Exchange Project NSDC has a contract to produce eight satellites to support a worldwide telephone system (for Alaska Telecom, Inc.) that allows individuals to use a single, portable telephone in any location on earth to call in and out. NSDC will develop and produce the eight units. NSDC has estimated that the R&D costs will be NOK (Norwegian Krone) 12,000,000. Material costs are expected to be NOK 6,000,000. They have estimated that the design and production of the first satellite will require 100,000 labor hours, and an 80 percent improvement curve is expected. Skilled labor cost is NOK 300 per hour. Desired profit for all projects is 25 percent of total costs. A. How many labor hours should the eighth satellite require? ce.

Borges Machine Shop, Inc., has a 1-year contract for the production of 75,000 gear housings for a new off-road vehicle, Owner Luis Borges hopes the contract will be extended and the volume increased next year. Borges has developed costs for three alternatives. They are general-purpose equipment (GPE), flexible manufacturing system (FMS), and expensive, but efficient, dedicated machine (DM). The cost data follow Annual contracted units Annual fixed cost Per unit variable cost General-Purpose Equipment (GPE) 75,000 $100,000 $16.00 Flexible Manufacturing System (FMS) 75,000 $225,000 $14.00 Dedicated Machine (DM) 75,000 $450,000 $13.75 Based on the total cost, the process that is best suited for the current contracted volume is Suppose the contracted volume changes to 275,000 gear housings. Based on the total cost, the process that is best suited for the new volume is Suppose the contracted volume changes to 375,000 gear housings. Based on the total cost, the process that is best suited…

Lazer Technologies Inc. (LTI) has produced a total of 20 high-power laser systems that could be used to destroy any approaching enemy missiles or aircraft. The 20 units have been produced, funded in part as private research within the research and development arm of LTI, but the bulk of the funding came from a contract with the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD).   Testing of the laser units has shown that they are effective defense weapons,  and if redesigned to add portability and easier field maintenance, the units could be truck-mounted.   The DoD has asked LTI to submit a bid for 100 more units.   The 20 units that LTI has built so far cost the following amounts and are listed in the order in which they were produced: Use Exhibit 6.4 and Exhibit 6.5.     UNITNUMBER COST($ MILLIONS) UNITNUMBER COST($ MILLIONS) 1   $ 13.0   11 $ 2.2   2     7.5   12   2.1   3     5.8   13   1.9   4     4.5   14   1.9   5     4.0   15   1.7   6     3.5   16   1.7   7     3.1   17   1.5…
