Jumbo manufactures bicycles for all ages. The demand forecast for the coming year is as shown in Table 1. Jumbo currently has 200 employees and the capacity of the inventory is limited to 5,000 bicycles. Employees are paid $10 per hour for regular time and $15 per hour for overtime. Each bicycle requires two hours of work from one employee. The plant works 20 days a month and eight hours a day of regular time. Overtime is restricted to a maximum of 20 hours per employee per month. In order to satisfy the demand, Jumbo may hire (recruit) and lay off (fire) workers in addition to subcontracting (manufactured outside). Hiring costs $300/worker. Layoff costs $500/worker and a bicycle costs $65/unit if subcontracted. The number of hired workers cannot exceed 10% of the existing workers and there are no limits on subcontracting. Defect bicycles are estimated to 5% of the production each month. Each bicycle uses $35 of material. Carrying a bicycle in inventory from one month to the next costs $4. Table 1: Anticipated Monthly Demand at Jumbo Jumbo starts with 5,000 bicycles in inventory and wants to end the year with 4,500 bicycles in inventory. Bicycles are currently sold to retailers for $80 each. Jumbo is in the process of making its production. What is the optimal production plan?

Comprehensive problem; ABC manufacturing, two products. Hazlett, Inc., operates at capacity and makes plastic combs and hairbrushes. Although the combs and brushes are a matching set, they are sold individually and so the sales mix is not 1: 1 . Hazlett's management is planning its annual budget for fiscal year $2018 .$ Here is information for 2018 : Hazlett uses a FIF0 cost-flow assumption for finished-goods inventory. Combs are manufactured in batches of $200,$ and brushes are manufactured in batches of $100 .$ It takes 20 minutes to set up for a batch of combs and 1 hour to set up for a batch of brushes. Hazlett uses activity-based costing and has classified all overhead costs as shown in the following table. Budgeted fixed overhead costs vary with capacity. Hazlett operates at capacity so budgeted fixed overhead cost per unit equals the budgeted fixed overhead costs divided by the budgeted quantities of the cost allocation base. Delivery trucks transport units sold in delivery sizes of 1,000 combs or 1,000 brushes. Do the following for the year 2018 : 1. Prepare the revenues budget. 2. Use the revenues budget to: a. Find the budgeted allocation rate for marketing costs. b. Find the budgeted number of deliveries and allocation rate for distribution costs. 3. Prepare the production budget in units. 4. Use the production budget to: a. Find the budgeted number of setups and setup-hours and the allocation rate for setup costs. b. Find the budgeted total machine-hours and the allocation rate for processing costs. c. Find the budgeted total units produced and the allocation rate for inspection costs. 5. Prepare the direct material usage budget and the direct material purchases budget in both units and dollars; round to whole dollars. 6. Use the direct material usage budget to find the budgeted allocation rate for materials-handling costs. 7. Prepare the direct manufacturing labor cost budget 8. Prepare the manufacturing overhead cost budget for materials handling, setup, processing, and inspection costs 9. Prepare the budgeted unit cost of ending finished-goods inventory and ending inventories budget 10. Prepare the cost of goods sold budget. 11. Prepare the nonmanufacturing overhead costs budget for marketing and distribution. 12. Prepare a budgeted income statement (ignore income taxes). 13. How does preparing the budget help Hazlett's management team better manage the company?
Head-First Company plans to sell 5,000 bicycle helmets at $75 each in the coming year. Unit variable cost is $45 (includes direct materials, direct labor, variable factory overhead, and variable selling expense). Total fixed cost equals $49,500 (includes fixed factory overhead and fixed selling and administrative expense). Break-even units equal 1,650. Required:1. Calculate the margin of safety in terms of the number of units.2. Calculate the margin of safety in terms of sales revenue.
