Bramble Design Inc., a high-fashion women's dress manufacturer, is planning to market a new cocktail dress for the coming season.
Bramble Design supplies retailers in Toronto, Montreal, and the Atlantic provinces.
Four metres of material are laid out for the dress pattern. After cutting, some material remains, which can be sold as remnants. The
company could also use the leftover material to manufacture a matching cape and handbag. However, if it uses the leftover material
for the cape and handbag, more care will be needed in the cutting, and the cutting costs will therefore increase.
The company expects to sell 2,600 dresses if a matching cape and handbag are not available. Bramble Design's market research
reveals, however, that dress sales would be 25% higher if a matching cape and handbag were available. The market research indicates
that the cape and/or handbag could not be sold individually but only as accessories with the dress. The various combinations of

- A local PBS station has decided to produce a TV series on robotic manufacturing. The director of the TV series, Justin Tyme, is currently attempting to analyze some of the projected costs for the series. Tyme intends to take a TV production crew on location to shoot various manufacturing scenes as they occur. If the four-week series is shown in the 8:00-9:00 P.M. prime-time slot, the station will have to cancel a wildlife show that is currently scheduled. Management projects a 10 percent viewing audience for the wildlife show and each 1 percent is expected to bring in donations of $10,000. In contrast, the manufacturing show is expected to be watched by 15 percent of the viewing audience. However, each 1 percent of the viewership will likely generate only $5,000 in donations. If the wildlife show is cancelled, it can be sold to network television for $25,000. Using cost terminology comment on each of the financial amounts mentioned in the scenario above.

The firm has just received an order of 50,000 units from Southernstar Exploration Company for $80 per unit. North Platt can manufacture the shaft at $50 per unit. Southernstar desires the diameter of the shaft to be 1.275 cm. The diameter of the shaft must not be less than 1.25 cm in order to fit properly inside the sleeve. To be able to insert the shaft into a sleeve without the use of force, the diameter cannot be larger than 1.30 cm. A defective shaft is discarded and a replacement has to be shipped via express freight to locations around the world.
