You are completing a software development project. This project is expected to add SIX new features to a popular software program you sell to customers. The projected cost for the project is $100,000 and the development is expected to take 5 weeks. At the end of the second week, you spent $17,500 per new software feature and you completed the development of two new features. You are about to start the development of the third new software feature. Based on this information find the BAC, PV, EV, and AC. Please show how you came up with answer.

Imagine you are the Chief of Human Resources for a global corporation with operations in three different countries. The CEO of the company wants you to come up with a new compensation plan based on the labor markets of the three (3) countries where the employees live and work, rather than basing it on the parent country’s labor market.

What are some of the biggest advantages and disadvantages of setting up a compensation system like this?\

1) Saint Gobain High Performance Plastics produces architectural plastics for projects such as radar domes and large pavilion-style architecture. They also produce robust industrial plastics for applications such as conveyer belts in hostile environments such as extreme temperatures, extreme temperature changes or constant exposure to various kinds of radiation. Saint Gobain offers a portfolio of standard products to the marketplace to support customer projects. St. Gobain products are built on a make-to-order basis with an average lead time of three weeks.   Saint Gobain also has the capability to design one-off products to customer specifications; these engineer-to-order products represent a small fraction of the business (less than 10%) but they are high profit margin sales.

Their manufacturing process is highly capital-intensive consisting of three types of equipment:

•           Industrial looms for weaving the substrate weave for their products out of various types of thread. There are a relatively small number of different substrate weave and the each form of substrate weave can be used in multiple products. Set up times and tear down for product change overs for the looms are typically in the range of two hours. Substrate is manufactured in quantities to meet the requirements of the Tower operations and is stores in rolls.

•           ‘Towers’ – five-story high, purpose built machines that are used to apply coatings to the substrate weave and then bake the coatings to create the plastic. Each of the St, Gobain product offerings requires a different coating. Because of the long (on average four hours) set-up and tear down times required for product change overs, these machines produce thousands of yards of product per run which are stored in rolls.

•           Cutting Operations: The rolls are then cut to customer specifications which are provided at time of order. Set-up times for the cutting operations are relatively short; typically less than an hour and the run times for the cutting phase of a customer order is typically less than three hours.

One key customer segment for Saint Gobain is the food preparation industry; they have a line of products that are FDA approved as “cook safe”. To-date these “cook safe” plastics have only been marketed to industrial firms in the food processing business. Saint Gobain has a new opportunity. McDonald’s has invited Saint Gobain to bid on the manufacture of the “grill sheets” that would be used in cooking the hamburgers in every one of the growing network of more than 37,000 McDonald’s restaurants worldwide. Grill sheets are reusable non-stick cooking surfaces that prevent the hamburger patty from sticking to the grill during cooking. St. Gobain’s design engineers have reviewed the specifications and are certain that one of the existing “cook safe” formulations can be applied with only minor changes to the Tower set-up and processing. The specification calls for one grill sheet per grill with a useful life of at least three months in a commercial application. Most McDonald’s restaurants have two grills.

One key requirement of the McDonald’s bid would be that Saint Gobain would commit to same day shipment to McDonald’s 3PL partners for McDonald’s orders.

USING EXCEL IF NEEDED FOR CALCULATIONS

You are working in a Paper Company and the company needs to loan money from a bank to cover for the daily expenses. By analyzing the previous data, you come to the conclusion that the daily expenses are pretty stable at $17,000 per day, and the company works for 305 days a year. A bank has agreed to give you the loan, at an annual interest rate of 9% (i.e. for every dollar that you borrow, you will pay 9 cents) which will be collected at the end of the year. Any time you take a loan, the bank charges you a loan origination fee of $1,200 plus 2.25% of the amount borrowed.

a. Use an EOQ model to determine the optimal borrowing policy. This includes (1) the amount of loans you should borrow from the bank (i.e. borrow $300,000 loans at a time), (2) the total cost of your borrowing policy, and (3) the number of loans you should borrow in a year. The company would also like to know, if it takes the bank 15 days to process a loan, what is the level of cash on hand at which you should apply for a new loan?

b. Suppose the bank offers you a discount as follows: On any loan amount greater than $500,000, the bank will lower the origination fee to $1,200 plus 2% of the amount borrowed. What is the new optimal borrowing policy, considering the discount?

NOTES- Eventually you have to cover all daily expenses ($17,000/day x 305 days) using the money borrowed from the bank. The question is not how much to borrow in total, but how much to borrow at a time.

- You will always need $17,000 daily expenses on the day of the expense, so don’t think of all the interest that you’ll need to pay, but instead think of the interest as a holding cost associated with the extra money in your account.

- Write down the yearly total cost, and label each component as either the ordering cost, carrying cost, or the purchasing cost.
