Monsanto sells genetically modified seed to farmers. It needs to decide how much seed to put into a warehouse to serve demand for the next growing season. It will make one quantity decision. It costs Montanso $7 to make each kilogram (kg) of seed. It sells each kg for $46. If it has more seed than demanded by the local farmers, the remaining seed is sent overseas. Unfortunately, it only earns $3 per kg from the overseas market (but this is better than destroying the seed because it cannot be stored until next year). If demand exceeds its quantity, then the sales are lost—the farmers go to another supplier. As a forecast for demand, it will use a normal distribution with a mean of 325,000 and a standard deviation of 100,000. Use Table 13.4

A. How many kilograms should Monsanto place in the warehouse before the growing season? use table 13.2 and round up rule.

B. If Monsanto put 375000 kgs in the warehouse, what is the expected revenue (include both domestic revenue and overseas revenue)? Use table 13.4 and round-up rule.

C. How many kilograms should Monsanto place in the warehouse to minimize inventory while ensuring that stockout probability is no greater than 5%? Use table 13.4 and round-up rule.

D. What is maximum profit for this seed?

Phil, having exhausted all other appeals in his complaint, called Beth, the compliance officer, to speak with her about a decision that the human resources department had made that he believed was out of compliance with the Federal Equal Pay Act. The office assistant, Mary, stated, “Beth will not be in the office until next week.” Phil then scheduled a telephone conference with Beth for the following week. He asked Mary, “Will my telephone conference with Beth remain confidential?” Mary said, “Most certainly. Our office is here for you. Everything in our office is confidential.”The following week Phil called Beth to discuss his concern that certain professionals were performing the same work as he was and were getting paid more. He described the specifics of his concern. Beth asked, “Is it OK for me to reveal your name to human resources so I can obtain the necessary records that I would need from them to see if you are being paid equally to others for the same work?” Phil agreed to Beth’s request. During his discussion with Beth, Phil discussed several other corporate leadership concerns with her and asked that his conversations remain confidential. Beth replied, “If you wanted confidentiality, then you should have asked for it before speaking to me.” Phil replied, “Confidentiality was promised prior to our discussion and I am surprised at your response.” Beth replied, “Well, you are wrong.”

What lessons could employees learn from Phil’s experience? 2. Discuss how this scenario could have ended with a win-win conclusion for both the employee and the compliance office

Parries Confectionery Company is considering the introduction of a new toffee. It requires four
processes: A, B, C, and D in sequence. The equipment required for each process is available in
the company now and is dedicated to the production of another type of candy. Although some
capacity is available on all the equipment types, management is not sure whether they need to
buy additional pieces. To aid management in decision making, the following information is
available:
(a) The four pieces of equipment—one for each type—are available 50% of the time.
(b) The company operates one shift per day (8 hours) and 250 days per year.

(c) If the company decides to produce toffee, then it must allocate half a day for candy production
and the remaining half day for toffee.
(d) The time required for equipment setup, cleaning, and maintenance and scrap rate (i.e.,
spillage, production items that do not meet shape and other quality standards and hence
must be discarded, etc.) for each process is given in Table 2.6.

Table 2.6 Production Data for Parries Confectionery:

(e) The demand for toffee is expected to be 1,000,000 per year. If 1,000,000 toffees are required
to be made per year, determine how many input and output units are required for each
process.
(f) Determine whether the company can produce the new toffee with the available equipment.
If not, how many pieces of each equipment must Parries purchase? Show your calculations.
(g) The company can operate half a second shift by using 15 employees who must be paid an
overtime salary of $20 per hour. The overhead expenses are estimated to be $10,000. It is
known that equipment for processes A, B, C, and D cost $50,000, $200,000, $100,000, and
$100,000, respectively. Is it better to operate the (half) second shift or purchase necessary
additional equipment. Explain your answer.
