- DBS is also expecting the demand for its top-of-the range devices to increase further from the next year. Given the increase in annual requirement, the production manager is contemplating to start manufacturing the special components in-house to save costs rather than sourcing them from outside. Given the current purchase price of $9000 per unit, what will the average annual requirement need to be in order to justify making the components in-house if the variable cost of making is $6750 per unit and an upfront fixed cost of $55,000,000 is needed to procure the necessary plant and equipment? However, in the event that the expected increase in demand does not materialize and the demand is actually forecast to drop to 20,000 units next year, then what will be the maximum price per unit that DBS would be willing to pay to the supplier in order to continue buying from them? Going forward, if it is found to be a better decision to make the components in-house, DBS will then need to…What is the 1- long term goals 2- intermediate term goals 3- short term goals for washing cars serviceThe production head at the All Paints and Surface Corp. would frequently stay back after office hours and experiment with new color combinations even though this was part of the new product development team’s job.

- EZ-Windows, Inc. manufacturers replacement windows for the home remodeling business. In January, the company produces 15,000 windows and ended the month with 9,000 windows in inventory. EZ-Windows' management team would like to develop a production schedule for the next three months. A smooth production schedule is obviously desirable because it maintains the current workforce and provides a similar month-to-month operation. However, given the sales forecasts, the productioncapacities, and the storage capabilities as shown in Table 2, the management team does not think a smooth production schedule with the same production quantity each month possible.The company's cost accounting department estimates that increasing production by one window from one month to the next will increase total costs by $1.00 for each unit increase in the production level. In addition, decreasing production by one unit from one month to the next will increase total costs by $0.65 for each unit decrease in the…Sales for the last quarter of the year were good, with tops sales at 3,400 units and pants sales at 3,200 units.
