Kinnear Plastics manufactures various components for the aircraft and marine industry. Kinnear buys plastic from two vendors: Tappan Corporation and Hill Enterprises. Kinnear chooses the vendor based on price. Once the plastic is received, it is inspected to ensure that it is suitable for production. Plastic that is deemed unsuitable is disposed of. The controller at Kinnear collected the following information on purchases for the past year: Tappan Hill Total purchases (tons) 4,500 7,500 Plastic discarded 135 375 The purchasing manager has just received bids on an order for 170 tons of plastic from both Tappan and Hill. Tappan bid $1,358 and Hill bid $1,349 per ton. Required: 1-a. Assume that the average quality, measured by the amounts discarded from the two companies, will continue as in the past.

Answer from: ACE7RITZ

With the effective cost estimate, the purchasing manager can provide a more accurate budget.

The effective cost per ton for Tappan is $1,400The effective cost per ton for Hill is $1,420

Reasons:

The effective cost of a good is the worth of the goods that are to be used;

The purchases for the last year are;

$\begin{tabular}{c|c|c|}&Tappan & Hill\\Total purchases&4,500&7,500\\Plastic discarded&135&375\end{array}\right]$

$\displaystyle \mathbf{Percentage} \ of \ discarded} \ for \ Tappan = \frac{135}{4,500} \times 100 = 3\%$

Therefore;

Usable plastic supplied by Tappan = 100% - 3% = 97%

Percentage of the plastics supplied by Tappan that is used = 97%

$\displaystyle Percentage \ discarded \ for \ Hill = \mathbf{\frac{375}{7,500} \times 100} = 5\%$

Used plastic supplied by Hill = 100% - 5% = 95%

Cost per ton in the Tappan bid = $1,358

Therefore;

1,358 = 0.97 × 1 ton

$\displaystyle 1 \, ton \, of \ to \ be \ used \, plastic \, from \ Tappan \, cost = \frac{1,358}{0.97} = 1,400$

The effective cost per ton of plastic from Tappan = $1,400

Similarly

Cost per ton in the bid by Hill = $1,349

$\displaystyle 1 \, ton \, of \, usable \, plastic \, from \, Hill \ costs = \frac{1,349}{0.95} = 1,420$

The effective cost per ton of plastic from Hill = $1,420

Tappan is $1400

Hill is $1420

Step-by-step explanation:

Particulars Tappan Hill

Tons purchased 4500 7500

Tons discarded 135 375

% plastic discarded 3% 5%

% plastic accepted for 97% 95%

Quoted price 1358 1349

% accepted for 97% 95%

Effective cost per ton

= Quoted price / % accepted for

Answer from: Quest

the required function is $y=-x+4$ .

step-by-step explanation:

from the given table it is noticed that the graph passing through (-3,7), (0,4), (3,1) and (8,-4).

it is a linear function because the value of y is decrease by one as the value of x increase by 1.

the slope of the function is

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\frac{4-7}{)}=\frac{-3}{3}=-1$

the slope of the function is -1 and the y-intercept is 4.

the slope intercept form is

$y=mx+b$

where, m is slope and b is y-intercept.

$y=-1x+4$

$y=-x+4$

therefore the required function is $y=-x+4$ . the graph of this function is shown below.
