US Apparel (USA) manufactures plain white and solid-colored T-shirts. Budgeted inputs include the following Price Quantity Cost per unit of output
fabric $8 per yard 0.75 yards per unit $6 per unit
labor $16 per DMLH 0.25 DMLH per unit $4 per unit
dye $0.50 per ounce 4 ounces per unit $2 per unit

For colored T-shirts only

Budgeted sales and selling price per unit is as follow:s:

Budgeted Sales Selling Price per Unit
White T-shirts 10,000 units $12 per T-shirt
Colored T-shirts 50,000 units $15 per T-shirt

The USA has the opportunity to switch from using the dye it currently uses to using an environmentally friendly dye that costs $1.25 per ounce. The company would still need 4 ounces of dye per shirt. The USA is reluctant to change because of the increase in costs (and decrease in profit), but the Environmental Protection Agency has threatened to fine the company $130,000 if it continues to use the harmful but less expensive dye

a. Given the preceding information, would the USA be better off financially by switching to the environmentally friendly dye? (Assume all other costs would remain the same.)
b. Assume the USA chooses to be environmentally responsible regardless of cost, and it switches to the new dye. The production manager suggests trying Kaizen costing. If the USA can reduce fabric and labor costs each by 1% per month on all the shirts it manufactures, by how much will overall costs decrease at the end of 12 months? (Round to the nearest dollar for calculating cost reductions.)
c. Refer to requirement 2. How could the reduction in material and labor costs be accomplished? Are there any problems with this plan?.

The third program provides families with $50 in food stamps each week, redeemable for both perishable and nonperishable food. the fourth policy instead provides a family with a box of nonperishable foods each week, worth $50. use two graphs to illustrate that a family may be indifferent between the two programs, but will never prefer the $50 box of nonperishable foods over the $50 in food stamps. state your answer and use a consumer choice model for perishable food and nonperishable food to graphically justify your choice.
