Husky Injection
According to the information in this case (exhibit #6), Husky charges for its product 200,000$ higher relatively to competitor’s product. For answering this question, whether the premium above is justified from the customer’s point of view, the following calculation will be made:
Part 1:
Calculating the amount of days it will take to product the same amount of products with the competitor’s machine:
Husky’s Machine Competitor’s Machine
Cycle-Time [sec] 10.4 11.8
Work per day [hours] 22.3 18.9
Products per day
Products per year (Irrelevant)
Part 2:
Calculating the amount of days for producing the same amount of products that produced by Husky’s machine in a year:
Part 3:
Calculating the cost for producing the same amount of products that is produced in a year – 365 days – by Husky’s machine and within 488 days in the competitor’s machine, for producing the same amount of products.
The information in the case provides very limited data regarding both the constant and the variable expenses of the production process. As a result, the next calculation assumes the constant expenses are low relatively to the variable expenses.
Thus, the saves costs can be done while using the two values above (365 and 488), namely the usage of Husky’s machine saves relatively to the usage of the competitor’s machine.
Husky’s machine costs, less than the competitor’s machine.
Thus, Husky injection molding systems do worth the premium price the company charges.

    For computer paper for the next fiscal quarter, according to the information given by the superintendent, Mendel Paper Company will receive a profit of $240,000.00. If 30,000 units are produced and sold at $14.00 then the total sales will be $420,000.00. However it costs the company $6.00 to produce each unit. So, 30,000 units at $6.00 a unit costs the company $180,000.00. The total sales cost of $420,000.00 minus the cost of labor of $180,000.00 equals the profit of $240,000.00. News came in however from the vice-president of purchasing that the company has firm orders for 35,000 cartons of computer paper. So, if the company continues to sell each unit of computer paper at $14.00 then the total cost of sales is $490,000.00. It still costs Mendel Paper Company $7.00 to produce each unit, therefore costing the company $245,000.00. Making the total profit of computer paper $245,000.00.…

    CS 1 Earth Buddy

    • 710 Words

    1. Earth buddy is the new toy to have this summer. What it is, is this bald human head that, when submerged in water for a few days, sprouted grass and you could groom it and cut it how you please. It had originally been sold in Toronto area flower shops but then took off nation wide as stores such as K-Mart, Toys R Us, and Wal-Mart and is now expanding into the United States. The toy is produced with a “hybrid batch flow process”. 6 Machines make the heads then operators place the heads in boxes of 25 heads each. Then operators shape the eyeglasses through a simple jig. Those two operations are occurring simultaneously. Next, moulding operators remove the heads from the boxes and make the ears and nose. Then from there, two people put the eyeglasses over the nose and the product is then fashioned with a red mouth and then dried for 5-7 hours. So the production takes some time and the Co-Owners of Earth Buddy, Anton Rabie and Ronnen Harary, are telling the production director, Ben Varadi, to remain flexible without building up too much inventory because they want to minimize expense. The challenge for Varadi is to guess how much he needs to order produced in order to fulfill the vague directions given to him by the co-owners.…
