Explanation:

The Sheridan Inc., a manufacturer of low-sugar, low-sodium, low-cholesterol TV dinners, would like to increase its market share in the Sunbelt. In order to do so, Sheridan has decided to locate a new factory in the Panama City area. Sheridan will either buy or lease a site depending upon which is more advantageous. The site location committee has narrowed down the available sites to the following three very similar buildings that will meet their needs.
Building A: Purchase for a cash price of $612,100, useful life 26 years.
Building B: Lease for 26 years with annual lease payments of $71,490 being made at the beginning of the year.
Building C: Purchase for $655,200 cash. This building is larger than needed; however, the excess space can be sublet for 26 years at a net annual rental of $6,850. Rental payments will be received at the end of each year. The Sheridan Inc. has no aversion to being a landlord.
In which building would you recommend that The Sheridan Inc. locate, assuming a 11% cost of funds?

Nature's Garden Inc. produces wood chips, wood pulp, and mulch. These products are produced through harvesting trees and sending the logs through a wood chipper machine. One batch of logs produces 20,304 cubic yards of wood chips, 14,100 cubic yards of mulch, and 9,024 cubic yards of wood pulp. The joint production process costs a total of $32,000 per batch. After the split-off point, wood chips are immediately sold for $25 per cubic yard while wood pulp and mulch are processed further. The market value of the wood pulp and mulch at the split-off point is estimated to be $22 and $24 per cubic yard, respectively. The additional production process of the wood pulp costs $5 per cubic yard, after which it is sold for $30 per cubic yard. The additional production process of the mulch costs $4 per cubic yard, after which it is sold for $32 per cubic yard.
Allocate the joint costs of production to each product using the net realizable value method.

Four Types of Organizational Culture Organizational culture is a system of shared beliefs and values that develops within an organization and guides its members' behavior. Culture can vary considerably across organizations, with each placing different emphases on risk-taking, treatment of employees, teamwork, rules and regulations, conflict and criticism, and rewards. This activity is important because different types of cultures are better suited to achieving different strategic goals, and managers can use this knowledge to their benefit.
The goal of this activity is to challenge your knowledge of the four types of organizational culture.
Read the description of an organization's culture and write each name to the type of organizational culture it best depicts.

Hilary sells bottled water from a small stand by the beach. On the last day of summer vacation, many people are on the beach, and Hilary realizes that she can make a lot more money this day if she hires someone to walk up and down the beach selling water. She finds a college student named Edison and makes him the following offer: They'll each sell water all day and split their earnings (revenue minus the cost of water) equally at the end of the day. Hilary knows that if they both work hard, Edison will earn $90 on the beach and Hilary will earn $240 at her stand, so they will each take home half of their total revenue: If Edison shirks, he'll generate only $60 in earnings. Hilary does not know that Edison estimates his personal cost (or disutility) of working hard as opposed to shirking at $30. Once out of Hilary's sight, Edison faces a dilemma: work hard (put in full effort) or shirk (put in low effort).In terms of Edison's total utility, it is worse for him to ____(work hard or shirk). Taking into account the loss in utility that working hard brings to Edison, Hilary and Edison together ___ (are or are not) better off if Edison shirks instead of working hard.Hilary knows Edison will shirk if unsupervised. She considers hiring her good friend Carrie to keep an eye on Edison. The most Hilary should be willing to pay Carrie to supervise Edison, assuming supervision is sufficient to encourage Edison to work hard, is ____ .
a. 55.
b. 30.
c. 25.
d. 20.It turns out that Hilary's friend Carrue is unavilable that day, so Hilary cannot find a reliable person to watch Edison. Which of the following arrangements will ensure that Edison works hard without making Hilary any worse off than she is when Edison shirks?A. Pay Edison $20, regardless of how many bottles of water he sells.B. Allow Edison to keep 75% of the revenue from the bottles of water he sells instead of 50%.C. Allow Edison to keep 57% of the revenue from the bottles of water he sells instead of 50%.D. Make Edison promise to work hard.

The ultimate goal of operations management is to provide high-quality goods and services instantaneously in response to customer demand. Over the years, low cost often came at the expense of quality and flexibility. Furthermore, suppliers didn't always deliver when they said they would, so manufacturers had to carry large inventories of raw materials and components to keep producing. Such inefficiencies made U.S. companies vulnerable to foreign competitors who were using more advanced production techniques As a result of new global competition, companies have had to make a wide variety of high-quality custom-designed products at a very low cost. Something had to change on the production floor to make that possible. Several major developments have made U.S.companies more competitive:
(1) computer-aided design and manufacturing
(2) flexible manufacturing,
(3) lean manufacturing, and
(4) mass customization,
(5) CAD
(6) CAM
Match the company or role with the most appropriate manufacturing technique.
Dress designer: In addition to helping in the design of products, the use of this system allows designers to work in three dimensions
Shoe designer: The manufacturer programs the computer to make a simple design change, and then that change is readily Incorporated into production
Purse designer: Software programs unite these two computer-aided support systems. While the software is expensive, it cuts as much as 80 percent of the time needed to program machines to make parts.
Motor starters: Orders come in daily and, within 24 hours, the company's machines and robots manufacture, test, and package the starters-which are untouched by human hands. This system is so efficient it can even accommodate a special order (even a single item) in the assembly without slowing down the process.
Toyota corporation: This company utilizes the strategy of using half the human effort, halving the defects in the finished product, using one-third of the normal engineering effort, using half the floor space, and carrying 90 percent less inventory
Dell computers: Dell has set up its manufacturing process so that all its computers can be quickly assembled to individual customer orders.
