If at most 50% of all produced parts can be Product B, which of the
followings is correct?

Paragraph 1. A manager must decide which type of machine to buy, A, B, or C. Machine costs are as follows: Machine Cost $50,000 $40,000 C $90,000 Product forecasts and processing times on the machines are as follows: PROCESSING TIME PER UNIT minutes Annual Product Demand 18,000 14,000 8,000 32,000 Assume that only purchasing costs are being considered. Which machine would have the lowest total cost, and how many of that machine would be needed? Machines operate 10 hours a...
A manager is going to purchase new processing equipment and must decide on the number of spare parts to order with the new equipment. The spares cost $170 each, and any unused spares will have an expected salvage value of $40 each. The probability of usage can be described by this distribution: Number 0 1 2 3 Probability .05 .40 .20 .35 If a part fails and a spare is not available, 2 days will be needed to obtain a...
A manager must decide which type of machine to buy, A, B, or C. Machine costs (per individual machine) are as follows: Machine A B C Cost $ 50,000 $ 40,000 $ 70,000 Product forecasts and processing times on the machines are as follows: PROCCESSING TIME PER UNIT (minutes) Product HM + Annual Demand 14,000 19,000 12,000 7,000 5 1 1 2 B 3 1 3 6 C 1 3 4 1 a.

A manager must decide between two machines. The manager will take into account each machine's operating costs and initial costs, and its breakdown and repair times. Machine A has a projected average operating time of 140 hours and a projected average repair time of 7 hours. Projected times for machine B are an average operating time of 69 hours and a repair time of 4 hours. What are the projected availabilities of each machine? (Round your answers to 3 decimal...
A manager must decide which type of machine to buy, A, B, or C. Machine costs (per individual machine) are as follows: Machine Cost $40,000 $30,000 $80,000 Product forecasts and processing times on the machines are as follows: PROCCESSING TIME PER UNIT (minutes) Annual Product Demand 16,000 12,000 6.ee 30,000 a. Assume that only purchasing costs are being considered. Compute the total processing time required for each machine type to meet demand, how many of each machine type would be...
A manager must decide which type of machine to buy, A, B, or C.

Problem 13-41 A manager is going to purchase new processing equipment and must decide on the number of spare parts to order with the new equipment. The spares cost $182 each, and any unused spares will have an expected salvage value of $52 each. The probability of usage can be described by this distribution: Number 0 Probability .05 1 .40 2 .20 3 .35 If a part fails and a spare is not available, 2 days will be needed to...
A factory manufactures two products, each requiring the use of three machines. The first machine can be used at most 70 hours; the second machine at most 40 hours; and the third machine at most 90 hours. The first product requires 2 hours on machine 1, 1 hour on machine 2, and 1 hour on machine 3; the second product requires 1 hour on machines 1 and 2 and 3 hours on machine 3. The profit is $40 per unit...
Problem 2 Schmidt Industries makes four different snake traps; the Harlan, the Gaylen, the Leah and the Matthew. The Harlan sells for $200 and has $80 in parts; the Gaylen sells for $150 and requires $60 in parts; the Leah sells for $100 and has $40 in parts; and the Matthew sells for $75 but requires $20 of parts. Schmidt Industries has four machines (we'll call them A, B, C, and D for convenience) that are used in the production...
