Given the following forecast and steady regular output of 550 every month, what total cost would result if overtime is limited to a maximum of 40 units a month, and subcontracting is limited to a maximum of 10 units a month? Unit costs are: Regular output = $20 Overtime = $30 Subcontract = $25 Average Inventory = $10 Backlog =

Answer:

The resulting total cost would be $12,450 per month.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Steady regular output = 550 units per month

Overtime limit = 40 units per month

Subcontract limit = 10 units

Therefore, total output = Regular output + Overtime limit + Subcontract limit

= 550 + 40 + 10 units

= 600 units

The total cost:

Regular output, 550 * $20 = $11,000

Overtime limit, 40 * $30 =        1,200

Subcontract limit, 10 * $25 =      250

Total cost =                           $12,450
