An order for 50 units of product a and 60 of b has been placed. there are currently 25 units of product b on hand. each a requires 2 units of part c; each b requires 5 units of
c. there are 160 units of c available. what are the net requirements for c?

Respuesta :

To determine the net requirement for c, we determine first the number of c’s that are required for the production of a and b given that there are already 25 units of b available.

 

   Number of c needed = (50 units of a)(2 c/unit of a) + (60 – 25 units of b)(5 c/unit of b)

      Number of c needed = 275 c’s

 

There are currently 160 units of c; hence,

 

   Net requirement for c = 275 c – 160 c

    Net requirement for c = 115

 

Answer: 115
