Q1) ABC Ltd. Produces room coolers. The company is considering whether it should continue to manufacture air circulating fans itself or purchase them from outside. Its annual requirement is 25000 units. An outsider vendor is prepared to supply fans for Rs 285 each. In addition, ABC Ltd will have to incur costs of Rs 1.50 per unit for freight and Rs 10,000 per year for quality inspection, storing etc of the product.
In the most recent year ABC Ltd. Produced 25000 fans at the following total cost :
Material Labour Supervision & other indirect labour Power and Light Depreciation Factory Rent Supplies
Rs. 50,00,000 Rs. 20,00,000 Rs. 2,00,000 Rs. 50,000 Rs. 20,000 Rs. 5,000 Rs. 75,000
Power and light includes Rs 20,000 for general heating and lighting, which is an allocation based on the light points. Indirect labour is attributed mainly to the manufacturing of fans. About 75% of it can be dispensed with along with direct labour if manufacturing is discontinued. However, the supervisor who receives annual salary of Rs 75,000 will have to be retained. The machines used for manufacturing fans which have a book value of Rs 3,00,000 can be sold for Rs 1,25,000 and the amount realized can be invested at 15% return. Factory rent is allocated on the basis of area, and the company is not able to see an alternative use for the space which would be released. Should ABC Ltd. Manufacture the fans or buy them?

    From this data, as well as the data given on manufacturing methods and hours per method, a solution could be found utilizing the linear programming method of analysis. To analyze the data, the actual profit on each material was first calculated. This was done by taking the selling price and subtracting each cost associated with the given material. The results are $34.00 for the 75C, $30.00 for the 33C, $60.00 for the 5X, and $25.00 for the 7X. The next step was to determine how many constraints would be part of the analysis. There was determined to be 10 constraints in the analysis, 4 for the April orders, 4 for the manufacturing methods and 2 for the minimum orders promised by Vivian. With this data, the amount of each product to be produced to maximize profit for April could be determined. The results can be seen in Table 3.…
