For the past 5 years, archer's burgers has produced frozen vegan burger patties viaa combination of in-house manufacturing and subcontracting. their 'historical plan' has always been to hold staffing steady and make 500 cases per month (consider this as previous period's production) via regular time production at a cost of $55 per case. they then utilized inventory and subcontracting to meet any additional monthly demand, as backorders are not acceptable to their customers. the subcontractor, normally a direct competitor, charges archer's $75 per case. there is currently no inventory. looking ahead, the operations manager forecasts demand of:

jan feb march april may june
500 600 500 700 500 600

what would the costs be to continue to follow the 'historical plan'?

the operations manager is considering a second plan. in this scenario, the plant will increase regular time production to 600 units per month for the first 5 months (january-may), then drop back to 400 units in june. the cost of increasing or decreasing capacity is $5 per unit of increase or decrease. inventory costs $10 per case per month. (note: this plan does not result in any lost sales.)
what is the cost of the second plan?
the final plan (which includes all costs and demands mentioned so far) would be to produce 550 units per month regular time, and outstource only when necessary to avoid any lost sales. what is the cost of plan 3?

Suppose you win a small lottery and have the choice of two ways to be paid: you can accept the money in a lump sum or in a series of payments over time. if you pick the lump sum, you get $2,950 today. if you pick payments over time, you get three payments: $1,000 today, $1,000 1 year from today, and $1,000 2 years from today. 1) at an interest rate of 6% per year, the winner would be better off accepting the (lump sum / payments over time), since it has the greater present value. 2) at an interest rate of 9% per year, the winner would be better off accepting the (lump sum / payments over time), since it has the greater present value. 3) years after you win the lottery, a friend in another country calls to ask your advice. by wild coincidence, she has just won another lottery with the same payout schemes. she must make a quick decision about whether to collect her money under the lump sum or the payments over time. what is the best advice to give your friend? a) the lump sum is always better. b) the payments over time are always better. c) it will depend on the interest rate; advise her to get a calculator. d) none of these answers is good advice.
