Morrison Manufacturing produces casings for sewing machines: large and small. To produce the different casings, equipment must be set up. The setup cost per production run is $18,000 for either casing. The cost of carrying small casings in inventory is $6 per casing per year; the cost of large casings is $18 per unit per year. To satisfy demand, the company produces 2,400,000 small casings and 800,000 large casings.   1. Compute the number of large casings that should be produced per setup to minimize total setup and carrying costs for this product. 2. Compute the setup, carrying, and total costs associated with the economic order quantity for the large casings.
IPort Products makes cases for portable music players in two processes, cutting and sewing. The cutting process has a capacity of 115,000 units per year; sewing has a capacity of 150,000  units per year.

Defective units are detected at the end of production in the Cutting Department. At that point, defective units are scrapped. Of the 115,000 units started at the cutting operation, 17,250 units are scrapped. Unit costs in the Cutting Department for both good and defective units equal $11.30 per unit, including an allocation of the total fixed manufacturing costs of $264,500 per year to units.           Direct…
Harcourt Manufacturing (HM) has the capacity to produce 11,800 fax machines per year. HM currently produces and sells 8,800 units per year. The fax machines normally sell for $280 each. Modem Products has offered to buy 3,800 fax machines from HM for $150 each. Unit-level costs associated with manufacturing the fax machines are $51 each for direct labor and $76 each for direct materials. Product-level and facility-level costs are $68,000 and $83,000, respectively. How much would profit increase (decrease) if HM accepted this special order?
