Erin Rogers, UW-M graduate, creates the following standards for the two jogging suits:
| Nylon Jogging Suits | Cotton Jogging Suits | ||
| Std.qty/suit | Std.price/input | Std.qty/suit | Std.price/input |
Direct Materials | 2 yds/suit | $10/yd | 3 yds/suit | $20/yd |
Direct Labor | 5 dlh/suit | $10/dlh | 4 dlh/suit | $5/dlh |
VOH utilities/grease | 2 mh/suit | $10/mh | 4 mh/suit | $10/mh |
VOH indirect labor | 5 dlh/suit | $10/dlh | 4 dlh/suit | $10/dlh |
Assume the above standards are 100% accurate and that nylon suits sell for $200, whereas cotton jogging suits sell for $250. Answer the following questions:
- If there is no capacity issue with the sewing machine, which suit would ASC rather sell, nylon or cotton?
- Assume that there IS a capacity issue, in that the sewing machine can ONLY work 3600 (about 10 hours a day) hours (or it will break). Also, assume that annual demand for nylon suits is 800 and annual demand for cotton is also 800. What is the optimal product mix in terms of making/selling nylon and cotton suits? SHOW YOUR WORK.
