Atoy manufacturer makes its own wind-up motors, which are then put into its toys. while the toy manufacturing process is continuous, the motors are intermittent flow. data on the manufacture of the motors appears below. annual demand (d) = 50,000 units daily subassembly production rate = 1,000setup cost (s) = $85 per batch daily subassembly usage rate = 200carrying cost = $.20 per unit per year(a) to minimize cost, how large should each batch of subassemblies be? (b) approximately how many days are required to produce a batch? (c) how long is a complete cycle? (d) what is the average inventory for this problem? (e) what is the total annual inventory cost (holding plus setup) of the optimal behavior in this problem?

What are the general categories of capital budget scenarios? describe the overall decision-making context for each.

The cost of the beginning work in process inventory was comprised of $3,000 of direct materials, $10,000 of direct labor, and $10,000 of factory overhead. costs incurred during the period were comprised of $15,000 of direct materials costs, and $100,000 of conversion costs. the equivalent units of production (eup) for the period were 9,000 for direct materials and 6,000 for conversion. the costs per eup were:
