Problem 1

A farm has been experimenting with a special diet for its horses. The feed components for the diet are

a standard feed product, a vitamin-enriched oat product, and a new vitamin and mineral feed additive

(detail below). The minimum daily diet requirements for each horse are 3 units of ingredient A, 6 units

of ingredient B, and 4 units of ingredient C. In addition, to control the weight of the horses, the total

daily feed for a horse should not exceed 6 pounds. The farm would like to determine the minimum-

cost mix that will satisfy the daily diet requirements.

Question 2: Problem solving

Kenneth Brown is the principal owner of Brown Oil, Inc. After quitting his university teaching job, Ken has been able to increase his annual salary by a factor of over 100. At the present time, Ken is forced to consider purchasing some more equipment for Brown Oil because of competition. His alternatives are shown in the following table:

For example, if Ken purchases a Sub 100 and if there is a favorable market, he will realize a profit of $300,000. On the other hand, if the market is unfavorable, Ken will suffer a loss of $200,000. But Ken has always been a very pessimistic decision maker.

If information about the probability of each outcome becomes available to Ken then:

Questions:

4. Find the best decision using the adequate technique.

5. How much Ken should pay to know the perfect information about the market condition?

6. Is it reasonable for Ken to purchase the perfect information about the market outcomes for $20,000? Explain why. (1 Mark)

Input price and input efficiency variances

The budgeted and actual data for direct materials and labor are as follows:

Budgeted Actual
DM price $3 per pound $2.75 per pound
DM quantity per unit 3 pounds per unit 4 pounds per unit
DL price $10 per hour $13 per hour
DL quantity per unit 0.2 hours per unit 0.3 hours per unit

Actual sales volume is 100 units. Budgeted sales volume is 80 units.

Compute the input price and input efficiency variances for DM and DL.
As a preliminary step, compute actual input quantity (total pounds or hours we actually used) and flexible budget input quantity (total pounds or hours we should have used for actual output):
    actual input quantity for DM = ___________pounds
    flexible budget input quantity for DM = ________ pounds
    actual input quantity for DL = __________ hours
    flexible budget input quantity for DL = __________ hours
Next, compute the variances. Enter favorable variances as a positive number and unfavorable variances as a negative number. Do NOT enter F or U.
    input price variance for DM = $ ___________
    input efficiency variance for DM = $ ____________
    input price variance for DL = $ __________
    input efficiency variance for DL = $ ____________
