A cloud computing provider has 475 customers and a farm of 250 compute servers each having 4 cores. The company statistics indicate that at the peak hour the workload requirements of its customers are such that each requires {0,1,2,3,4} cores with uniform probability. Use the approximation based on Central Limit Theorem to answer the following questions.

1. Compute the outage probability, i.e., the probability that there are not a sufficient number of cores to meet customers demands.

2. The company decides to offer its customers a new super fast service which would speed up their quality of service by automatically doubling the number of cores allocated to each customer. Each customer would thus be allocated {0,2,4,6,8} cores with uniform probability. How many extra (4 core) machines should you need to buy in order support new service while maintaining the same outage probability ?

3. The server vendor is quite happy to sell you the number of 4 core servers determined in the previous question, but offers you a great deal on the same number of 8 core servers. If you purchased the same number of servers but now with 8 cores, how many super fast customers could you support same outage probability?

Cane Company manufactures two products called Alpha and Beta that sell for $240 and $162, respectively....

Cane Company manufactures two products called Alpha and Beta that sell for $240 and $162, respectively. Each product uses only one type of raw material that costs $5 per pound. The company has the capacity to annually produce 131,000 units of each product. Its average cost per unit for each product at this level of activity are given below:

	Alpha			Beta
Direct materials		$	35		$	15
Direct labor			48			23
Variable manufacturing overhead			27			25
Traceable fixed manufacturing overhead			35			38
Variable selling expenses			32			28
Common fixed expenses			35			30
Total cost per unit		$	212		$	159

The company considers its traceable fixed manufacturing overhead to be avoidable, whereas its common fixed expenses are unavoidable and have been allocated to products based on sales dollars.

Foundational 12-12

What contribution margin per pound of raw material is earned by each of the two products? (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)

13. Assume that Cane’s customers would buy a maximum of 100,000 units of Alpha and 80,000 units of Beta. Also assume that the company’s raw material available for production is limited to 261,000 pounds. How many units of each product should Cane produce to maximize its profits

14. Assume that Cane’s customers would buy a maximum of 100,000 units of Alpha and 80,000 units of Beta. Also assume that the company’s raw material available for production is limited to 261,000 pounds. What is the maximum contribution margin Cane Company can earn given the limited quantity of raw materials?

15. Assume that Cane’s customers would buy a maximum of 100,000 units of Alpha and 80,000 units of Beta. Also assume that the company’s raw material available for production is limited to 261,000 pounds. If Cane uses its 261,000 pounds of raw materials, up to how much should it be willing to pay per pound for additional raw materials? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

Question 2: (22 marks) a) How might customer profitability analysis be used to improve organisational performance?...

Question 2:

a) How might customer profitability analysis be used to improve organisational performance? Suggest and explain which costing approach can be used to implement customer profitability analysis?

b) Hector Gonzales runs the Floral Art Company, which supplies floral arrangements to three large supermarket chains throughout Australia. Management has become concerned about the rising costs associated with the process and dispatch of orders. An activity analysis of the indirect costs identified the following customer-related costs.

		Estimated indirect costs	Total expected use of cost driver*
				Use of cost driver Supermarket customer
Acitvity cost pool	Cost driver			Use of cost driver Supermarket customer
				1	2	3
Orders processing	Number of orders	$200,000	450	300	100	50
Returns processing	Number of returns	$50,000	100	50	25	25
Delivery	Number of deliveries	$100,000	700	400	200	100
Rush orders	Number of rush orders	$70,000	50	10	20	20
Sales visits	Number of visits	$20,000	100	50	25	25

Required:

Assign the activity costs to each of the three customers

Calculate the contribution for each customer if the sales pattern for each is as follows:

Supermarket customer	Sales revenue**
1	$350,000
2	$160,000
3	$210,000

**Selling price is marked up 50% on direct cost of flowers.

Hints: conduct a customer profitability analysis based on the above customer related indirect costs.

What conclusion can we draw from the customer profit analysis? Advise the management of the Floral Art Company as to whether any changes should be made in its relationships with customers. Advise Hector as to how he should go about executing these changes.
