Costs per Equivalent Unit

Georgia Products Inc. completed and transferred 89,000 particle board units of production from the Pressing Department. There was no beginning inventory in process in the department. The ending in-process inventory was 2,400 units, which were 3⁄5 complete as to conversion cost. All materials are added at the beginning of the process. Direct materials cost incurred was $219,360, direct labor cost incurred was $28,100, and factory overhead applied was $12,598.

Determine the following for the Pressing Department. Round "cost per equivalent unit" answers to the nearest cent.

a. Total conversion cost $
b. Conversion cost per equivalent unit $
c. Direct materials cost per equivalent unit $

Please answer part e,f,g,h and bonus.

Thank you.

Q1. Betty bakes and sells bagels all year round. Betty plans and manages inventories of paper take-out bags with her logo printed on them. Daily demand for take-out bags is normally distributed with a mean of 90 bags and a standard deviation of 30 bags. Betty’s printer charges her $10 per order for print setup independent of order size. Bags are printed at 5 cents ($0.05) each bag. It takes 4 days for an order to be printed and delivered. Betty has a storage room big enough to hold all reasonable quantities of bags. The holding cost is estimated to be 25% per year. Assume 360 days per year. (Use the H= i × C formula to compute the annual holding cost).

(a) What is the optimal order quantity per order for Betty?

(b) How many times per year does Betty need to order?

(c) How many days will elapse between two consecutive orders?

(d) What is Betty’s total annual inventory-related cost (cost of placing orders and carrying inventory)?  

(e) What is the total cost per bag?

(f) What is Betty’s monthly inventory turns?

(g) If Betty wants to make sure the bags do not run out with 99% probability during the order lead time, what is her optimal reorder point? (Use z=2.33 for 99% service level)

(h) If Betty’s printer charges her $12 per order irrespective of order size, what is the total annual inventory-related costs per bag?

(i) (Bonus) Assume that the print cost can be reduced to 3 cents per bag if Betty prints 9000 bags or more at a time. If Betty is interested in minimizing her total cost (i.e., purchase and inventory-related costs), should she begin printing 9000 or more bags at a time?

Suppose we wish to build a multiple regression model to predict the cost of rent (dollars) in a city based on population (thousands of people), and income (thousands of dollars). Use the alpha level of 0.05.

A. Is the whole regression model effective in predicting the cost of rent? Use alpha of 0.1. Make sure to show which values you use to make the decision.

B. Write down the multiple regression equation using actual names of IVs and DVs.

C. What is the value of the estimated intercept? Interpret the value in terms of rent (dollars) based on population (thousands of people), and income (thousands of dollars).

D. What is the values of the estimated slope for the variable “Income”? Interpret the value in terms of actual names of IVs and the DV.

E. What is the values of the estimated slope for the variable “Population”? Interpret the value in terms of actual names of IVs and the DV.

F. Does Income significantly influence the Rent at the alpha level of 0.01? Make sure to show which values you use to make the decision.

G. Does Population significantly influence the Rent at the alpha level of 0.01? Make sure to show which values you use to make the decision.
