MicroDecor produces stylish microwave ovens. Each unit sells for $620. During 20X7, the company produced 23,000 units, and sold 21,000 units. Beginning inventory contained a total of 3,200 units. Production and SG&A costs have been stable for many years. Assume the per unit costs in beginning and ending inventory are identical. Per unit cost information follows: Direct materials cost $160 Direct labor cost 110 Variable factory overhead 85 Variable SG&A 60 Annual fixed manufacturing overhead is $245,000. Annual fixed SG&A totals $1,500,000. (a) Determine the number of units in ending inventory, and calculate the total carrying cost using both variable and absorption costing. (b) Calculate 20X7 net income using variable costing. (c) Calculate 20X7 net income using absorption costing.

Forecasting as a first step in the team’s decision making, it wants to forecast quarterly demand for each of the two types of containers for years 6 to 8. based on historical trends, demand is expected to continue to grow until year 8, after which it is expected to plateau. julie must select the appropriate forecasting method and estimate the likely forecast error. which method should she choose? why? using the method selected, forecast demand for years 6 to 8.

Used cars usually have options: higher depreciation rate than new cars lower financing costs than new cars lower insurance premiums than new cars lower maintenance costs than new cars

Imagine us is a startup that offers high definition 3d prenatal ultrasounds for high-end customers. the service process includes four activities that are conducted in the sequence described below. (the time required for each activity is shown in parentheses): activity 1: welcome a patient and explain the procedure. (20 minutes)activity 2: prep the patient (e.g., show them to the room, apply ultrasound gel). (17 minutes) (*your id number represents the amount of time needed to complete this task)activity 3: take images. (5 minutes)activity 4: discuss diagnostic with patient. (20 minutes)at each location there are employees (servers) s1, s2, and s3. the assignment of tasks to servers is the following: s1 does activities 1 and 2.s2 does activity 3.s3 does activity 4.a. what is the capacity of this process (in customers per hour)? b. suppose 3 patients arrive every hour on average. ignoring any “start of day” or “end of day” effects, what are the utilizations of all three servers (%)? c. suppose each activity can be done by any server and any server can do any set of activities. however, each activity is done by only one server. for example, a possible assignment includes: s1 does activity 1, s2 does activity 2, and s3 does activities 3 and 4. of course, the original assignment of servers to activities is also feasible. what is the maximum capacity of the process (in customers per hour)? d. now consider the capacity measures in (c) and (a), what is the percentage change? why can you improve capacity without using additional resources? (there is no free lunch, right? )note: for all hw assignments, show your process of getting the results. only providing the final answers is not acceptable and will get 0%. if necessary, use a separate sheet of paper to show your work.
