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:

Process/Equipment
Time (in seconds) A B C D
Setup/maintenance/cleaning per setup 1800 2700 600 1000
Processing time per unit 25 4 2 4
Scrap rate(%) 10 5 1 1


(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.

Pls Be clear especially (g)
