1. A work cell at Chris Ellis Commercial Laundry has a workstation with two? machines, and each unit produced at the station needs to be processed by both of the machines.? (The same unit cannot be worked on by both machines? simultaneously.) Each machine has a production capacity of 12 units per hour.
The throughput time of the work cell =___ minutes per unit ?(enter your response as a whole? number).
2 Markland Manufacturing intends to increase capacity by overcoming a bottleneck operation by adding new equipment. Two vendors have presented proposals. The fixed costs are $55,000 for proposal A and $70,000 for proposal B. The variable cost is $12.00 for A and $11.00 for B. The revenue generated by each unit is $22.00
a) The? break-even point in units for the proposal by Vendor A? =__ units ?(round your response to the nearest whole? number).
3. Markland Manufacturing intends to increase capacity by overcoming a bottleneck operation by adding new equipment. Two vendors have presented proposals. The fixed costs are $60,000 for proposal A and $70,000 for proposal B. The variable cost is $14.00 for A and $11.00 for B. The revenue generated by each unit is $20.00
Vendor A and Vendor B have the same cost when the output volume? =___units ?(round your response to the nearest whole? number).
4. You are considering opening a copy service in the student union. You estimate your fixed cost at $21,000 and the variable cost of each copy sold at $0.02. You expect the selling price to average $0.06

5. Zan Azlett and Angela Zesiger have joined forces to start? A&Z Lettuce? Products, a processor of packaged shredded lettuce for institutional use. Zan has years of food processing? experience, and Angela has extensive commercial food preparation experience. The process will consist of opening crates of lettuce and then? sorting, washing,? slicing, preserving, and finally packaging the prepared lettuce.? Together, with help from? vendors, they think they can adequately estimate? demand, fixed? costs, revenues, and variable cost per bag of lettuce. They think a largely manual process will have monthly fixed costs of $40,000 and variable cost of $1.60 per bag. A more mechanized process will have fixed costs of $75,000 per month with variable costs of $1.00 per bag. They expect to sell the shredded lettuce for $2.50 per bag.
a) The? break-even quantity in units for the manual process? =___bags ?(round your response to the nearest whole? number).
