- This year, Hassell Company will ship 4,000,000 pounds of chocolates to customers with total order-filling costs of 900,000. There are two types of customers: those who order 50,000 pound lots (small customers) and those who order 250,000 pound lots (large customers). Each customer category is responsible for buying 1,500,000 pounds. The selling price per pound is 2 per lb for the 50,000 pound lot and 3 per lb for the larger lots, due to differences in the type of chocolate. ABC would likely assign order-filling costs to the customer type as follows: a. 450,000, small; 450,000, large (using pounds as the driver) b. 360,000, small; 540,000, large (using revenue as the driver) c. 750,000, small; 150,000, large (using number of orders as the driver) d. 450,000, small; 450,000, large (using customer type as the driver)arrow_forwardVollmer Manufacturing makes three components for sale to refrigeration companies. The components are processed on two machines: a shaper and a grinder. The times (in minutes) required on each machine are as follows: The shaper is available for 120 hours, and the grinder for 110 hours. No more than 200 units of component 3 can be sold, but up to 1,000 units of each of the other components can be sold. In fact, the company already has orders for 600 units of component 1 that must be satisfied. The profit contributions for components 1, 2, and 3 are 8, 6, and 9, respectively. a. Formulate and solve for the recommended production quantities. b. What are the objective coefficient ranges for the three components? Interpret these ranges for company management. c. What are the right-hand-side ranges? Interpret these ranges for company management. d. If more time could be made available on the grinder, how much would it be worth? e.

Currently, the chemical is purchased for $30 each pound. The firm uses 4,800 pounds L-20 per year. The controller estimates that it costs $150 to place and receive a typical order of L-20. The annual cost of storing L-20 is $1 per pound. F Inc.’s manufacturing engineering team identifies the following effects of adopting a JIT inventory system: 1) F Inc. will order 100 pounds L-20 each time. 2) The cost of placing an order for L-20 will be reduced to $20. 3) Suppliers would add $4 to the price per pound for frequent deliveries. 4) Currently there is a defect-assessment cost of $120,000 per year. This cost is expected a reduction of 20% under the JIT system.
