6) Custom home operates three different departments. The company makes decorative comforters, pillowcases, and tablecloths in a small factory. The company expects to make 2,000 comforters during the current year. With respect to the comforters, how would the factory supervisory salaries be classified

Answer: B. Indirect and fixed

Explanation:

Direct costs in the production of 2,000 comforters would be those that were needed to convert the materials needed in the production to finished comforters such as clothing and assembly labor.

A factory supervisor is not directly involved in this process as their job is simply to monitor workers. They are therefore an indirect cost. The salaries do not change based on the level of production so these costs are fixed as well.

Ulko produces tomato paste at five different plants. The tomato paste is then shipped to one of three warehouses, where it is stored until it is shipped to one of the company’s four customers. The shell gives the plant capacities, the cost per ton of producing tomato paste at each plant and shipping it to each warehouse, the cost of shipping a ton of paste from each warehouse to each customer, customer demand, and the annual fixed cost of operating each plant and warehouse. Ulko’s management must decide which plants and warehouses to open, how to route paste from plants to warehouses and from warehouses to customers. All customer demand must be met. A given customer’s demand can be met from more than one warehouse, and a given plant can ship to more than one warehouse. Warehouses are trans-shipment points, anything shipped into a warehouse must be shipped out. Formulate a linear model and find the minimum cost solution for meeting customer demand.

The management at BuyRite grocery stores wishes to estimate the amount of time that customers are spending, on average, in its stores and in a checkout line. The most obvious approach for determining this information is to simply record when a customer enters and exits the store. However, it is difficult to track the entering and exiting times of specific customers. We will look at the problem using an alternative approach. Over the past two weeks, the following data have been collected at BuyRite’s newest store during busy hours (this BuyRite is rather large and typically has 7 open checkout lines). For simplicity, let us assume that the overall capacity at checkout lines is higher than the arrival rate of customers into the store.
Average rate of customers entering store = 305 customers/hour
Average number of customers in store = 146 customers
Percentage of customers who do not make a purchase = 5%
Average number of customers in the checkout lines = 24 customers
As their consultant, you have been asked by BuyRite’s management to address the following questions:
(a) How much time on average does a customer spend in the store?
(b) How much time on average does a customer spend waiting?

An industrial park is being planned for a tract of land near the river. To prevent flood damage to the industrial buildings that will be built on this low-lying land, an earthen embankment can be constructed. The height of the embankment will be determined by an economic analysis of the costs and benefits. The following data have been gathered: Embankment Height Above Roadway (m) Initial Cost 2.0 $100,000 2.5 165,000 3.0 300,000 3.5 400,000 4.0 550,000 Flood Level Above Roadway (m) Average Frequency That Flood Level Will Exceed Height in Col. 1 2.0 Once in 3 years 2.5 Once in 8 years 3.0 Once in 25 years 3.5 Once in 50 years 4.0 Once in 100 years The embankment can be expected to last 50 years and will require no maintenance.

In truth, no other companies in any other nation come close. Landing Service has shipped many of its products internationally. In fact, 80 percent of its profits come from international sales.
