Crystal Displays Inc.

The amount of desired profit from the production and sale of the flat panel displays is:

= $225,000

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Investment in assets = $1,500,000

Production and sales units = 5,000

Cost of production and sales:

Variable costs per unit:

Direct materials                    $120  

Direct labor                              30

Factory overhead                    50

Selling and

administrative expenses        35

Total variable cost per unit $235

Fixed costs:

Factory overhead                             $250,000

Selling and administrative expenses 150,000

Total fixed costs                              $400,000

Total production costs:

Variable production costs =  $1,000,000 (5,000 * $200)

Fixed factory overhead             250,000

Total production costs          $1,250,000

Total selling and administrative expenses:

Variable selling and admin.     $175,000

Fixed selling and admin.            150,000

Target return on invested assets =         225,000 ($1,500,000 * 15%)

Total expected sales revenue =          $1,800,000

Price per unit = $360 ($1,800,000/5,000)

After graduation, you decide to go into a partnership in an office supply store that has existed for a number of years. Walking through the store and stockrooms, you find a great discrepancy in service levels. Some spaces and bins for items are completely empty; others have supplies that are covered with dust and have obviously been there a long time. You decide to take on the project of establishing consistent levels of inventory to meet customer demands. Most of your supplies are purchased from just a few distributors that call on your store once every two weeks. You choose, as your first item for study, computer printer paper. You examine the sales records and purchase orders and find that demand for the past 12 months was 5,000 boxes. Using your calculator you sample some days' demands and estimate that the standard deviation of daily demand is 10 boxes. You also search out these figures:

Cost per box of paper: $11.
Desired service probability: 98 percent.
Store is open every day.
Salesperson visits every two weeks.
Delivery time following visit is three days.

Using your procedure, how many boxes of paper would be ordered if, on the day the salesperson calls, 60 boxes are on hand?
