Question:- Kusum Enterprises manufactures a wide range of fashion fabrics. The company
is considering whether to add a further product the “Lovely” to the range. A market research
survey recently undertaken at a cost of `5,00,000 suggests that demand for the “Lovely” will
last for only one year, during which 50,000 units could be sold at `180 per unit. Production and
sale of “Lovely” would take place evenly throughout the year. The following information is
available regarding the cost of manufacturing “Lovely”.
Raw Material:- Each “Lovely” would require 3 types of raw material P, Q and R. Quantities
required, current stock levels and cost of each raw material are shown below. P is used
regularly by the company and stocks are replaced as they are used. The current stock of Q is
the result of overbuying for an earlier contract. The material is not used regularly by Kusum
Enterprises and any stock that was not used to manufacture “Lovely” would be sold. The
company does not carry a stock of R and the units required would be specially purchased.

Q 2.00 60,000 33 28 11
R 0.50 - - 55 50
Labour:- Production of each “Lovely” would require a quarter of an hour of skilled labour and
two hours of unskilled labour. Current wage rates are `30 per hour for skilled labour and `20
per hour for unskilled labour. In addition, one foreman would be required to devote all his
working time for one year in supervision of the production of “Lovely”. He is currently paid an
annual salary of `1,50,000. Kusum Enterprises is currently finding it very difficult to get skilled
labour. The skilled workers needed to manufacture “Lovely” would be transferred from
another job on which they are earning a contribution surplus of `15 per labour hour,
comprising sales revenue of `100 less skilled labour wages of `30 and other variable costs of
`55. It would not be possible to employ additional skilled labour during the coming year.
If “Lovely” are not manufactured, the company expects to have available 2,00,000 surplus
unskilled labour hours during the coming year. Because the company intends to expand in the
future, it has decided not to terminate the services of any unskilled worker in the foreseeable
future. The foreman is due to retire immediately on an annual pension payable by the company
of `60,000. He has been prevailed upon to stay on for a further year and to defer his pension
for one year in return for his annual salary.
Machinery:- Two machines would be required to manufacture “Lovely” M1 and M2. Details of
each machine are as under:-
Start of the year End of the year

` `
M1: Replacement Cost 8,00,000 6,50,000
Resale Value 6,00,000 4,70,000
M2: Replacement Cost 1,30,000 90,000
Resale Value 1,10,000 80,000
Straight line depreciation has been charged on each machine for each year of its life. Kusum
Enterprises owns a number of M1 machines, which are used regularly on various products.
Each M1 is replaced as soon as it reaches the end of its life. M2 machines are no longer used
and the one which would be used for “Lovely” is the only one the company now has. If it was
not used to produce “Lovely”, it would be sold immediately.
Overheads:- A predetermined rate of recovery for overhead is in operation and the fixed
overheads are recovered fully from the regular production at `35 per labour hour. Variable
overhead costs for “Lovely” are estimated at `12 per unit produced. For the decision making,
incremental costs based upon relevant cost and opportunity costs are usually computed.
You are required to compute such a cost sheet for “Lovely” with all details of material, labour,
overhead etc., substantiating the figures with necessary explanations.

JUST IN TIME
Question:- Tushar Electronics is considering Just-in-time implementation in 2010. Tushar’s

annual demand for product ‘Power Strip’, is 20,000 units. If Tushar implements
JIT, the purchase price of the ‘Power Strip’ is expected to increase from `152 to `152.76
because of frequent deliveries by Premier Electromark Ltd., which enjoys a sterling reputation
for quality and reliability. Ordering costs will remain at `76 per order. However, the annual
number of orders placed will be 200 instead of the current 20. As a result of frequent ordering,
Tushar’s order size will decrease proportionally. Tushar’s required rate of return on
investment is 20%. Other carrying cost, (insurance, materials handling and so on) will remain
at `68.40 per unit. Currently Tushar has no stock out costs. Lower inventory levels from
implementing JIT will lead to `45.60 per unit stock out costs on 100 units during the year.
Required:-
Calculate the estimated savings (loss) for Tushar Electronics from the adoption of JIT
purchasing.
TOTAL QUALITY
MANAGEMENT
Question:- A Company manufactures a single product, which requires two components.

The company purchases one of the components from two suppliers: X Limited
and Y Limited. The price quoted from X Limited is `180 per hundred units of the component
and it is found that on an average 3 percent of the total receipt from this supplier is defective.
The corresponding quotation from Y Limited is `174 per hundred units, but the defective
would go up to 5 percent. If the defectives are not detected, they are utilized in production
causing a damage of `180 per hundred units of the component.
The company intends to introduce a system of inspection for the components on receipt. The
inspection cost is estimated at `24 per hundred units of the component. Such an inspection will
be able to detect only 90 percent of the defective components received. No payment will be
made for components found to be defective in inspection.
Required:
(i) Advise whether inspection at the point of receipt is justified?
(ii) Which of the two suppliers should be asked to supply?

SIMULATION
Question:- Bright Bakery keeps stocks of a popular brand of cake. Previous experience
indicates the daily demand as given here.
Daily Demand: 0 10 20 30 40 50
Probability: 0.01 0.20 0.15 0.50 0.12 0.02
Consider the following sequence of random numbers;
48, 78, 19, 51, 56, 77, 15, 14, 68, 09
(i) Using the sequence simulate the demand for next 10 days.
(ii) Find out the stock simulation if owner of the Bakery decides to make 30 cakes every
day. Also estimate the daily Average demand for the cakes on the basis of simulated
data.
Question:- Dr. STRONG is a dentist who schedules all her patients for 30 minutes
appointments. Some of the patients take more or less than 30 minutes
depending on the type of dental work to be done. The following summary shows the various
categories of work, their probabilities and the time needed to complete the work:
Category Time Required Probability of Category

Filling 45 Minutes 0.40
Crown 60 Minutes 0.15
Cleaning 15 Minutes 0.15
Extraction 45 Minutes 0.10
Checkup 15 Minutes 0.20
Simulate the dentist’s clinic for four hours and determine the average waiting time for the
patients as well as the idleness of the doctor. Assume that all the patients show up at the clinic
at exactly their scheduled arrival time starting at 8:00 a.m. Use the following random numbers
for handling the above problem:
40, 82, 11, 34, 25, 66, 17, 79

Question:- M/S B.P.Leathers, a shoe manufacturer has modern outlook and they depend heavily
on Business Forecasting methodology to plan their business activities like
manufacturing, marketing, finance etc. At the beginning of the year 2022 they have forecasted data of
demand of their shoes for the beginning of the month of March as 1000 pairs. But the actual demand
turned out to be 900 pairs. Using a Smoothing Coefficient of 0.1 forecast the demand at the beginning of
the 2nd week of March 2022.
Also forecast the demands using Exponential Smoothing technique at the beginning of each week till
mid April 2022 when the actual demands are as follows –
At the beginning of the 2nd week of March – 1010 pairs, At the beginning of the 3rd week of March –
1032 pairs, At the beginning of the 4th week of March – 976 pairs, At the beginning of the 1st week of
April – 934 pairs, At the beginning of 2nd week of April – 1008 pairs & At the end of the 2nd week of April
– 1020 pairs.
