day, 5 days per week.
b- A team of workers makes 4 hundred units of product which is valued by it standard cost
of $10 each, the accounting department reports that for this job the actual cost are $400
per labor, $1000 for material cost and $300 for overheads.

PREFERENCE MATRIX
Problem#1:
The table below shows the performance criteria, weight and score (1 from worst and 10 from
best) for a new product; thermal storage conditioner. If the management want to introduce just
one new product at highest total score of any other product ideas is 800, should the firms pursue
making air conditioner?
Performance Criteria A-Weight B-Score
Material Potential 30 8
Unit Profit Margin 20 10
Operation Compatibility 20 6
Competitive advantages 15 10
Investment Requirement 10 2
Profit Risk 5 4
Solution:
Weight Average
240+200+120+150+20+20=750
The company would go and launch because it has more weight score than AC. Therefore, B˃A.
Possible Future Demand

A-Maximin—An alternative worst payoff/lower number in row of payoff matrix, he is pessimist
so takes negative views.
Alternative Payoff

Large Facility 160
B-Maximax—He sees optimist so sees things in positive view.
Alternative Payoff

Large Facility 800
C-Laplace—it is calculated through 1/n.(n=no of rows)
Small Facility (0.5)200=100 + (0.5)270=135 = 235
Large Facility (0.5)160=80 + (0.5)800=400 = 480
D-Minimax Regret— it is calculated by given payoff minus best payoff.

Large Facility 200−160=40 800−800=0 40

HOMEWORK
PRODUCTIVITY RATIO
Problem #1:
Coach Bajourn Toulouse led the Big Red Herrings to several disappointing football seasons.
Only better recruiting will return the Big Red Herring to winning from. Because of the current
state of the programmers Boehning University fan are unlikely to support increases in the 192
season ticket price. Improved recruitment will increase overhead costs to 30,000 per class
section from the current 25,000 per class section. The university’s budget plan is to cover
recruitment costs by increasing the average class size to 75 students. Labor costs will increase to
6,500 per three credit course, tuition will be 200 per semester credit, which is matched by state
support of 100 per semester credit.

Problem #4:
The Big Black Bird Company (BBBC), has a large order for special plastic-lined military
uniform to be used in an urgent military operation. Working the normal two shifts of 40 hours,

the BBBC production process usually produces 2500 uniforms per week at a standard cost of
120 each. 70 employees work the first shift and 30 in second. The contract price is 200 per
uniform because of the urgent need, BBBC is authorized to use around-the-clock production, 6
days per week. When each of the two shifts works 72 hours per week, production increases to
4000 uniforms per week but at a cost of 144 each.

TC2= 120,000+900(800)=120,000+720,000=840,000
ΔTC=TC2 ̶ TC1= 840,000 ̶ 780,000=60,000
b-Data: Fixed Cost=200,000
Selling Price=11 per unit
Q=45,000
Solution
TPM= PQ ̶ (F+VQ)
TPM= 11(45,000) ̶ {200,000+6(45,000)= 495,000 ̶ 470,000= 25,000
