A fabrication cell at​ Spradley's Sprockets uses the pull method to supply gears to an assembly line. George Jitson is in charge

of the assembly​ line, which requires 559 gears per day. Containers typically wait 1.2 day in the fabrication cell. Each container holds 60 ​gears, and one container requires 2.2 day in machine time. Setup times are negligible. If the policy variable for unforeseen contingencies is set at 0.04​, how many containers should Jitson authorize for the gear replenishment​ system?

Answer:

The correct answer is 33 containers.

Explanation:

The details below are provided in the question:

Wait time in the fabrication cell (w) = 1.2

Daily demand of gears (d) = 559

Policy variable for unforeseen contingencies  $ ( α )  = 0.04

Machine time (m) = 2.2 days

Contained size (s) = 60

Therefore, number of containers (N) Jitson authorize for the gear replenishment​ system will be calculated as;

N = d(w + m) (1 + α) / s

N = 559(1.2 +2.2) (1 + 0.04) / 60

N = 559 (3.4) (1.04) / 60

N =  1976.624 / 60

N = 32.94

Therefore, approximately 33 containers should Jitson authorize for gear replenishment system.

Like a good economist, you calculated the opportunity cost of getting your college degree. Suppose that at your university, you
Georgia [21]

Answer:

The opportunity cost is $130,000 for the four year duration.

Explanation:

Here, it is clear that I will not go to the job, so going to university is the only option left. Now, the loss of the job income is also an opportunity cost with an amount $20,000 which will aggregated with the University specific costs.

University Specific cost for 4 Years = 4 * (Tuition Cost + Textbooks + Job Opportunity loss)

The room and board cost is common between college and the university so it must not be considered for the decision making.

By putting values, we have:

University Specific cost for 4 Years = 4 * ($10,000 + $2,500 + $20,000)

University Specific cost for 4 Years = $130,000 for the four years

The opportunity cost is $130,000 for the four year duration.

For better understanding of relevant costing (Opportunity cost analysis), consider the following question:
