A major customer, Z Co, who orders 500 of each type of plate each week insists that
their plates are painted in?house and not sub?contracted.
How many oval plates should be sent to the sub?contractors for painting?
_________ Oval plates
…
I didn’t understand how to calculate the no of plates…I can do till ranking..n I didn’t understand how they did it Kaplan500 of each plate have to be painted in house.
This will use up 2,000 hours of painting labour. The remaining 5,250 hours will be used according to the rankings.
The cost of contracting out per unit is Oval: $2, Clover: $3, and Leaf: $6
Therefore the cost per hour of contracting out the painting is Oval: $4, Clover: $2, and Leaf: $3.After making 500 of each in-house, there are 5,250 hours remaining. These hours will be used firstly to make Oval in house so they will make the remaining 3,500 Ovals in house, which uses up another 1,750 painting hours, which means there are now 3,500 hours remaining.
They use these hours to make the remaining 1,300 Leafs in-house which uses up another 2,600 painting hours.That means there are now 900 hours remaining. They will use these to make 600 Clovers inhouse. That means they are now making 1,100 Clovers in-house leaving 3,400 to be subcontracted.
