Your company presently uses a crew of its own employees for all major maintenance. On average, 40 major repairs are performed each year at 24 lost production hours per repair. Keeping the crew costs $1,000,000 per year plus any lost production cost. Lost production costs are estimated at $2,500 per hour. Your company is considering replacing its in-housemaintenance work with an outside company (Ajax) working under an annual maintenance contract. This proposal will pay Ajax $2,000,000 per year but your company will still have to pay for all lost production time.Ajax claims that the time per repair will decrease because of the contractors’ substantial maintenance experience. Assuming the number of major repairs and the cost of lost production time remain the same, how much time per repair is the maximum allowable for Ajax to be the preferred alternative?
The Acme Widget Company has found that if widgets are priced at $245, then 4800 will be sold each month. They have also found that for every increase of $20, there will be 100 fewer widgets sold each month. The cost to produce each widget is $73.5 plus the monthly fixed costs are $1800.
Suppose that you currently own a clothes dryer that costs $30 per month to operate. A new efficient dryer costs $530 and has an estimated operating cost of $20 per month. How long will it take for the new dryer to pay for itself?
The clothes dryer will pay for itself in months.

- If during the following year it is predicted that each comedy skit will generate 30 thousand and each musical number 20 thousand, find the maximum income for the year. A television program director must schedule comedy skits and musical numbers for prime-time variety shows. Each comedy skit requires 2 hours of rehearsal time, costs 3000, and brings in 20,000 from the shows sponsors. Each musical number requires 1 hour of rehearsal time, costs 6000, and generates 12,000. If 250 hours are available for rehearsal and 600,000 is budgeted for comedy and music, how many segments of each type should be produced to maximize income?

- The manager of a 100-unit apartment complex knows from experience that all units will be occupied if the rent is $500 per month.

His financial consultant advises him to diversify his investment in three types of bonds: short -term, intermediate-term, and long-term. The short-term bonds pay 4%, the intermediate-term bonds pay 5%, and the long-term bonds pay 6% simple interest per year. Mark wishes to realize a total annual income of 5.1%, with equal amounts invested in short-term and intermediate-term bonds. How much should he invest in each type of bond?arrow_forwardA publisher for a promising new novel figures fixed costs (overhead, advances, promotion, copy editing, typesetting, and so on) at $54,000, and variable costs (printing, paper, binding, shipping) at $2.90 for each book produced. With this pricing, 5935 books need to be produced and sold at $12.00 each for the publisher to break even. However, rising prices for paper require an increase in variable costs to $3.40 for each book produced. Use this infomation to complete parts a. through c. a. What strategies might the company use to deal with this increase in costs? Choose all that are reasonable. O A. Increase the selling price of the book O B.

- Bernadette intends to invest up to ₱50,000 in either Best Fund, or a time deposit or both. The Best Fund pays 8% per year and the time deposit pays 9%. Because the Best Fund is riskier than the time deposit, so she intends to put at most ₱30,000 into the time deposit and at least ₱10,000 into the Best Fund. How much should she allot to each investment in order to maximize her returns?arrow_forwardBruno Fruscalzo decided to start a small production facility in Sydney to sell gelato to the local restaurants. His local milk supplier charges $0.50 per kilogram of milk plus a $15 delivery fee (the $15 fee is independent of the amount ordered). Bruno's holding cost is $0.03 per kilogram per month. He needs 8,250 kilograms of milk per month. Suppose Bruno orders 10,000 kilograms each time. What is his average inventory (in kilograms)? Suppose Bruno orders 6,250 kilograms each time. How many orders does he place with his supplier each year? Note: Round your answer to 1 decimal place. How many kilograms should Bruno order from his supplier with each order to minimize the sum of the ordering and holding costs? If Bruno's storage vessel can hold only 2,000 kilograms of milk, what would be Bruno's annual ordering and holding costs if he orders this amount? If Bruno's storage vessel can hold only 7, 000 kilograms of milk, what would be Bruno's annual ordering and holding costs if he orders…arrow_forwardThe owner of a thriving business wants to open a new office in a distant city. If he can hire someone who will manage the new office honestly, he can afford to pay that person a weekly salary of $2,000 ($1,000 more than the manager would be able to earn elsewhere) and still earn an economic profit of $500. The owner's concern is that he will not be able to monitor the manager's behavior and that the manager would therefore be in a position to embezzle money from the business. The owner knows that if the remote office is managed dishonestly, the manager can earn $3,500, which results in an economic loss of $400 per week. (Hint. Construct a decision tree to help you answer the questions below.) a. If the owner believes that all managers are narrowly self-interested income maximizers, will he open the new office? O Yes O No b. Suppose the owner knows that a managerial candidate condemns dishonest behavior, and who would be willing to pay up to $5,000 to avoid the guilt she would feel if…arrow_forward
- A circuit board manufacturer estimates the yearly demand to be 1,000,000. It costs $200 to set up the 3D printer for the circuit board, plus $10 for each one produced.

Student demands make it necessary to offer at least 30 undergraduate and 20 graduate courses in the term. Faculty contracts also dictate that at least 60 courses be offered in total. Each undergraduate course taught costs the college an average of $2,500 in faculty wages, and each graduate course costs $3,000. How many undergraduate and graduate courses should be taught in the fall so that faculty salaries are kept to a minimum. How much (in profit/cost) is the objective function of this problem?

You currently charge each client an hourly development fee of $2,700. With this pricing structure, the demand, measured by the number of contracts Montevideo signs per month, is 13 contracts. This is down 6 contracts from the figure last year, when your company charged only $2,100. The costs to Montevideo Productions are estimated as follows. Fixed costs: $150,000 per month Variable costs: $60,000 per contract Express Montevideo Productions' monthly cost as a function of the number q of contracts.
