- Scenario 3 Ben Gibson, the purchasing manager at Coastal Products, was reviewing purchasing expenditures for packaging materials with Jeff Joyner. Ben was particularly disturbed about the amount spent on corrugated boxes purchased from Southeastern Corrugated. Ben said, I dont like the salesman from that company. He comes around here acting like he owns the place. He loves to tell us about his fancy car, house, and vacations. It seems to me he must be making too much money off of us! Jeff responded that he heard Southeastern Corrugated was going to ask for a price increase to cover the rising costs of raw material paper stock. Jeff further stated that Southeastern would probably ask for more than what was justified simply from rising paper stock costs. After the meeting, Ben decided he had heard enough. After all, he prided himself on being a results-oriented manager. There was no way he was going to allow that salesman to keep taking advantage of Coastal Products. Ben called Jeff and told him it was time to rebid the corrugated contract before Southeastern came in with a price increase request. Who did Jeff know that might be interested in the business? Jeff replied he had several companies in mind to include in the bidding process. These companies would surely come in at a lower price, partly because they used lower-grade boxes that would probably work well enough in Coastal Products process. Jeff also explained that these suppliers were not serious contenders for the business. Their purpose was to create competition with the bids. Ben told Jeff to make sure that Southeastern was well aware that these new suppliers were bidding on the contract. He also said to make sure the suppliers knew that price was going to be the determining factor in this quote, because he considered corrugated boxes to be a standard industry item. Is Ben Gibson acting legally? Is he acting ethically? Why or why not?Scenario 3 Ben Gibson, the purchasing manager at Coastal Products, was reviewing purchasing expenditures for packaging materials with Jeff Joyner.

As the Marketing Manager for Southeastern Corrugated, what would you do upon receiving the request for quotation from Coastal Products?A company has a factory that is designed so that it is most efi cient (average unit cost is minimized) when producing 15,000 units of output each month. However, it has an absolute maximum output capability of 17,250 units per month, and can produce as little as 7,000 units per month without corporate headquarters shifting production to another plant. If the factory produces 10,925 units in October, what is the capacity utilization rate in October for this factory?
- Use the following for the next 2 questions: A company forecasts that it will ship 120,000 boxes of product in June. The product has a monthly turnover of 3. The company plans to use its facility to ship 80,000 boxes and the balance of the 40,000 boxes will ship from a rented facility. Space may be rented for a charge of $7 per box per month with an in-and-out handling charge of $0.45 per box shipped. 1. What is the rented (fixed) storage cost for June? - $280,000 - $180,000 - $42,500 - $250,000 - $93,333 - $153,333 - $173,333 2. What is the rented variable cost for June? - $33,333 - $43,333 - $6,000 - $38,000 - $18,000 - $28,000 - $23,333A manager must decide which type of machine to buy, A, B, or C.

Assume that machines operate 10 hours a day, 250 days a year. If we only consider purchasing costs, which machine would have the lowest total cost? b.) Assume machines operate 10 hours a day, 250 days a year. If we select machine A, how many machine A do we need? (Use common sense to decide the answer.)A small-size cargo company in Dubai has been operating since the year 2000. The total workforce comprises ten employees, out of which five are in sales, three are in operations, one is handling legal and accounts matters, and one manager is also the owner of the company. Total annual turnover is enough to run the company smoothly. Recently another director has joined who brought large investment to the company. The Board of directors has decided to expand the business in other cities and establish offices overseas in potential locations. This expansion policy will directly be linked to the new manpower needs. Therefore, the board has decided to open an HR department with one HR manager and three staff to look after HR operations. The new HR manager has noticed that the company has a very convenient way of recording the data, where all transactions are recorded on excel documents. “this may not work in the new setup with many branches around the world”, he mentioned in the BOD meeting.…

Tonight, she has 100 stay-over rooms and 100 arrivals. Based on her own forecasts, she anticipates 10 no-shows tonight. The average rate to be paid by each arriving guest is $199.99. Tonya has a signed agreement with the local Sheraton hotel that states each property is willing (subject to blackout dates) to accept the other’s walks at the rate of $99.00 per night. Tonight, the Sheraton has available rooms and has agreed to take up to ten walked guests. The cost of transporting guests to the Sheraton and back, as well as other walk related costs incurred by the Hilton, average $15.00 per room. Assume Tonya decides to overbook by ten rooms. Excluding any potential no-show billings, how much extra room revenue will be gained from overbooking if Tonya indeed experiences ten no-shows but overbooks by ten rooms and thus achieves a 100 percent occupancy? How much extra cost will the hotel incur if it sells…
