A company asked one of their analysis team to analyze and create models that help decide whether they should manufacture a particular product or outsource its production. The different components are given below: Fixed Cost, FC = $25,000 Material Cost per Unit, MC = $2.15 Labor Cost per Unit, LC = $2.00 Outsourcing Cost per Unit, O = $4.50 Note that per-unit material and labor cost together make up the variable cost per unit. Use a two-way data table to show how the savings due to outsourcing changes as a function of different production volume and different bids on per-unit cost for outsourcing. Vary the production volume from 0 to 100,000 in increments of 10,000. The six bids are $3.11, $3.49, $4.50, $4.98, $5.12, and $5.45.

Suppose you have $1100 and decided to purchase a new model of television that costs you $1100. You find an electronics store where a gift voucher, worth $50, is offered with this TV model if payment is made in full during the time of purchase, or it can be financed at 0 percent interest for 5 months with a monthly payment of $220. You now have two options: either invest your amount for an annual interest rate of 10% and opt for 0 percent financing option for the TV purchase; or choose full payment option. Develop a spreadsheet model to find the better option that results in a good saving? Also, find the discount rate for 0 percent financing option. Hint: Use Goal Seek to find the discount rate that makes the net present value of the payments = $1050.

An electronics store sells two models of television. The sales of these two models, X and Y, are dependent, that is, if the price of one increases, the demand for the other increases. A study is made to find the relationship between the demand (D) and the price (P) in order to maximize the revenue from these products. The result of the study is shown below: DX = 476 - 0.54 PX + 0.22 PY DY = 601 + 0.12 PX - 0.54 PY a. Construct a model for the total revenue and implement it on a spreadsheet. b. Develop a two-way data table to estimate the optimal prices of each of the two products in order to maximize the total revenue. Vary price of each product from $600 to $900 in increments of $50.
