13) Brix, Inc., prepares frozen food for fast-food restaurants. It has two workstations,
cooking and assembly. The cooking station is limited by the cooking time of the food.
Assembly is limited by the speed of the workers. Assembly normally waits on food
from cooking. Because the demand has increased in recent months to 2,800 dozen units,
management is considering adding another cooking station or else having the cooks
start to work earlier. The monthly cost of operating the cooking station one more hour
each day is $2,400. The cost of adding another cooking station would add an average of
$10 per hour. The current operating hours total eight hours a day, 22 days a month. The
contribution margin of the finished products is currently $8 per dozen. Inventory
carrying costs average $2.00 per dozen per month. Either the extra hour or the new
cooking station would increase production by 20 dozen a day, with a long-run increase
of 80 dozen units in finished goods inventory to 280 dozen.
