Edwards Manufacturing Company purchases two component parts from three different suppliers. The suppliers have limited capacity, and no one supplier can meet all the company’s needs. In addition, the suppliers charge different prices for the components. Component price data (in price per unit) are as follows: Supplier

Component 1 2 3

1 $12 $13 $10

2 $15 $12 $10

Each supplier has a limited capacity in terms of the total number of components it can supply. However, as long as Edwards provides sufficient advance orders, each supplier can devote its capacity to component 1, component 2, or any combination of the two components, if the total number of units ordered is within its capacity. Supplier capacities are as follows:

Supplier 1 2 3

Capacity 525 975 900

If the Edwards production plan for the next period includes 1025 uni

A)

                                      Supplier

Component               1            2             3      

1                                             125          900

2                               525       300                

B) Cost Table

                               1                2                3         Total

Component 1                       1625             9000     10625

Component 2      7875        3600                            11475

Total cost             7875        5225           9000   22100

Step-by-step explanation:

Table 1:

                                      Supplier

Component               1         2         3

1                                  $12    $13     $10

2                                 $15    $12     $10

Table 2:

Supplier                       1          2         3

Capacity                   525      975    900

Now we are supposed to find  production plan for the next period includes 1025 units of component 1 and 825 units of component 2

So,

                                      Supplier

Component               1            2             3      

1                                               125          900

2                               525       300                

Cost Table :

                          1                2                3

Component 1                              

Component 2        

Cost Table

                               1                2                3         Total

Component 1                       1625             9000     10625

Component 2      7875        3600                            11475

Total cost             7875        5225           9000   22100
