The local driver’s license center processes applications for driver’s license renewals through the following three steps. First, the customer registers with the receptionist, who updates the customer’s information in the database. This first step takes 2 minutes per customer. Then the customer visits one of two cashiers to pay the associated fees for the license renewal. This takes 8 minutes per customer because several forms must be printed from the computer and signed by the customer. Finally, the customer visits one of three license processing stations where the customer’s picture is taken and the license is printed. This final step takes 15 minutes per customer.

Zhu Manufacturing is considering the introduction of a family of new products. Long-term demand for the product group is somewhat predictable, so the manufacturer must be concerned with the risk of choosing a process that is inappropriate. Faye Zhu is VP of operations. She can choose among batch manufacturing or custom manufacturing, or she can invest in group technology. Faye won’t be able to forecast demand accurately until after he makes the process choice. Demand will be classified into four compartments: poor, fair, good, and excellent. The table below indicates the payoffs (profits) associated with each process/demand combination, as well as the probabilities of each long-term demand level.
| Poor | Fair | Good | Excellent | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Probability | .1 | .4 | .3 | .2 |
| Batch | -$ 200,000 | $1,000,000 | $1,200,000 | $1,300,000 |
| Custom | $ 100,000 | $ 300,000 | $ 700,000 | $ 800,000 |
| Group Tech. | -$ 1,000,000 | -$ 500,000 | $ 500,000 | $2,000,000 |
A) Based on expected value, what choice offers the greatest gain?
B) What would Faye Zhu be willing to pay for a forecast that would accurately determine the level of demand in the future?

Which of the following statements about takt time is FALSE? Takt time tells us how much time should elapse between completing two consecutive units. Takt time is the ratio between the time available and the quantity that has to be produced to serve demand. Takt time tells us how much time actually elapses between completing two consecutive units. Takt time is dependent on demand rate.

Alternative Production Procedures and Operating Leverage
Assume Sharpie, a brand of Sanford LP, is planning to introduce a new executive pen that can be manufactured using either a capital-intensive method or a labor-intensive method. The predicted manufacturing costs for each method are as follows:
| Capital Intensive | Labor Intensive | |
|---|---|---|
| Direct materials per unit | $ 5.00 | $ 6.00 |
| Direct labor per unit | $ 5.00 | $ 10.00 |
| Variable manufacturing overhead per unit | $ 4.00 | $ 2.00 |
| Fixed manufacturing overhead per year | $ 2,440,000 | $ 700,000 |
Sharpie's market research department has recommended an introductory unit sales price of $40. The incremental selling costs are predicted to be $500,000 per year, plus $2 per unit sold.
(a) Determine the annual break-even point in units if Sharpie uses the:
1. Capital-intensive manufacturing method.
Answer units
2. Labor-intensive manufacturing method.
Answer units
(b) Determine the annual unit volume at which Sharpie is indifferent between the two manufacturing methods.

(c) Management wants to know more about the effect of each alternative on operating leverage.
1. Explain operating leverage and the relationship between operating leverage and the volatility of earnings.
They have little or no correlation because they are unrelated.
They are positively correlated, with increases in operating leverage accompanied by increases in the volatility of earnings.
They are negatively correlated, with increases in operating leverage accompanied by decreases in the volatility of earnings.
2. Compute operating leverage for each alternative at a volume of 250,000 units. Round your answers two decimal places.
Capital-Intensive operating leverage Answer
Labor-Intensive operating leverage Answer
3. Which alternative has the higher operating leverage? Why?
The labor intensive method has a higher operating leverage because of higher variable conversion costs.
The labor intensive method has a higher operating leverage because of lower variable manufacturing overhead.
The capital intensive method has a higher operating leverage because of the greater use of fixed assets.
The capital intensive method has a higher operating leverage because of the higher variable manufacturing overhead.
CVP Analysis and Special Decisions
Smoothie Citrus Company buys a variety of citrus fruit from growers and then processes the fruit into a product line of fresh fruit, juices, and fruit flavorings. The most recent year's sales revenue was $4,400,000. Variable costs were 60 percent of sales and fixed costs totaled $1,400,000. Smoothie is evaluating two alternatives designed to enhance profitability.
One staff member has proposed that Smoothie purchase more automated processing equipment. This strategy would increase fixed costs by $300,000 but decrease variable costs to 54 percent of sales.
Another staff member has suggested that Smoothie rely more on outsourcing for fruit processing. This would reduce fixed costs by $300,000 but increase variable costs to 65 percent of sales.
Round your answers to the nearest whole number.
(a) What is the current break-even point in sales dollars?
$Answer
(b) Assuming an income tax rate of 34 percent, what dollar sales volume is currently required to obtain an after-tax profit of $500,000?

(c) In the absence of income taxes, at what sales volume will both alternatives (automation and outsourcing) provide the same profit?
$Answer
(d) Briefly describe one strength and one weakness of both the automation and the outsourcing alternatives.
Automation has less risk and a lower break-even point.
Outsourcing has higher profits if sales increase.
Automation has higher profits if sales increase. Outsourcing has less risk and a lower break-even point.
Automation has less risk. Outsourcing has higher profits if sales increase and a lower break-even point. Automation has higher profits if sales increase and a lower break-even point. Outsourcing has less risk.Not-for-Profit Applications
