Ortega Industries manufactures 16,400 components per year. The manufacturing cost of the components was determined to be as follows:Direct materials $ 158,000 Direct labor 280,000 Variable manufacturing overhead 94,000 Fixed manufacturing overhead 160,000 Total $ 692,000 Assume that the fixed manufacturing overhead reflects the cost of Ortega's manufacturing facility. This facility cannot be used for any other purpose. An outside supplier has offered to sell the component to Ortega for $34. If Ortega Industries purchases the component from the outside supplier, the effect on operating profits would be a:

This exercise illustrates that poor quality can affect schedules and costs. a manufacturing process has 130 customer orders to fill. each order requires one component part that is purchased from a supplier. however, typically, 3% of the components are identified as defective, and the components can be assumed to be independent. (a) if the manufacturer stocks 130 components, what is the probability that the 130 orders can be filled without reordering components? (b) if the manufacturer stocks 132 components, what is the probability that the 130 orders can be filled without reordering components? (c) if the manufacturer stocks 135 components, what is the probability that the 130 orders can be filled without reordering components?
