Sports Buffs makes basketballs and footballs in a three-step process. Unfortunately, the stem insertion process has been identified as a bottleneck. Each basketball has a contribution margin of $15.00$15.00 and each football has a contribution margin of $4.00$4.00. The stem insertion equipment can make 1010 basketballs or 3030 footballs in one hour. If demand for both products is unlimited and the stem insertion machine capacity cannot be expanded, which product should be produced? If demand for each ball is limited to 30,00030,000 balls and there are 4,0004,000 hours available on the machine, how many of each product should be produced?

Sports Specialists makes baseballs and softballs in a three-step process. Unfortunately, the sewing machine process has been identified as a bottleneck. Each softball has a contribution margin of $6.00 and each baseball has a contribution margin of $2.00. The sewing machine can make 10 softballs or 25 baseballs in one hour. A. If demand for both products is unlimited and the sewing machine capacity cannot be expanded, which product should be produced? B. It demand for each ball is limited to 6,000 balls and there are 800 hours available on the machine, how many of each product should be produced?
A manufacturing firm is making auto parts. The machine operators do the packaging and fill the shipping boxes. Each box should contain 60 parts, but the operators fill the boxes by eye, so the average parts per box is 63. Each auto part costs $1. The company realizes that they are wasting parts by overfilling the boxes and decides to automate the packaging which reduces the average parts per box to 60. The equipment would cost $65,000 and SL depreciation with 7-year depreciable life and $10,000 salvage value would be used. Cost of maintaining the equipment is $8,000 annually. The firm manufactures 800K auto parts each year. The combined federal and state incremental tax rate is 30%. Assume a 7-year analysis period and MARR of 10%. 1. What is the after-tax present worth? 2. What is the after-tax payback period? (No-return payback period)
A furniture company manufactures desks and chairs. Each desk requires 29 hours to manufacture and contributes $400 to profit, and each chair requires 19 hours to manufacture and contributes $250 to profit. Due to marketing restrictions, a total of 2000 hours are available. Use Solver to maximize the company’s profit. What is the maximum profit? How many desks and chairs should the company manufacture? Of the 2000 available hours, how many hours will be used?
Coronado Makeup produces face cream. Each bottle of face cream costs $12 to produce and can be sold for $13. The bottles can be sold as is, or processed further into sunscreen at a cost of $14 each. Coronado Makeup could sell the sunscreen bottles for $23 each. What should Coronado Makeup do? Face cream must be further processed because it increases operating income by $1 each. O Face cream must not be further processed because incremental revenue is less than incremental processing costs. O Face cream must be further processed because its operating income is $9 each. Face cream must not be further processed because it decreases operating income by $3 each.
At Stardust Gems, a faux gem and jewelry company, the setting department is a bottleneck. The company is considering hiring an extra worker, whose salary will be $67,000 per year, to ease the problem. Using the extra worker, the company will be able to produce and sell 9,000 more units per year. The selling price per unit is $20.

Shelby Industries has a capacity to produce 45.000 oak shelves per year and is currently selling 40,000 shelves for $32 each. Martin Hardwoods has approached Shelby about buying 1,200 shelves for a new project and is willing to pay $26 each. The shelves can be packaged in bulk; this saves Shelby $1.50 per shelf compared to the normal packaging cost. Shelves have a unit variable cost of $27 with fixed costs of $350,000. Because the shelves dont require packaging, the unit variable costs for the special order will drop from $27 per shelf to $25.50 per shelf. Shelby has enough idle capacity to accept the contract. What is the minimum price per shelf that Shelby should accept for this special order?

Rossignol makes downhill ski equipment. Assume that Atomic has offered to produce ski poles for Rossignol for $18 per pair. Rossignol needs 100,000 pairs of poles per period. Rossignol can only avoid $125,000 of fixed costs if it outsources; the remaining fixed costs are unavoidable. Rossignol currently has the following costs at a production level of 100,000 pairs of poles: Manufacturing Costs Total Cost Cost per pair (100,000 pairs) Direct Materials $750,000 $7.50 Direct Labor 80,000 0.80 Variable MOH 520,000 5.20 Fixed MOH 650,000 6.50 Total $2,000,000 $20.00 1. Should Rossignol outsource ski pole production if the next best use of the freed capacity is to leave it idle? What effect will outsourcing have on Rossignol's operating income? 2. If the freed capacity could be used to produce ski boots that would provide $500,000 of operating income, should Rossignol outsource ski pole production?
Diamond & Turf Inc. is considering an investment in one of two machines. The sewing machine will increase productivity from sewing 150 baseballs per hour to sewing 290 per hour. The contribution margin per unit is $0.32 per baseball. Assume that any increased production of baseballs can be sold. The second machine is an automatic packing machine for the golf ball line. The packing machine will reduce packing labor cost. The labor cost saved is equivalent to $21 per hour. The sewing machine will cost $260,000, have an eight-year life, and will operate for 1,800 hours per year. The packing machine will cost $85,000, have an eight-year life, and will operate for 1,400 hours per year. Diamond & Turf seeks a minimum rate of return of 15% on its investments.
