solution

1. The following is a list of components required to produce one unit of end item P:
P: 2 A’s, 3 B’s, 3 C’s
A: 5 M’s, 2 R’s
B: 1 D, 3 N’s.
C: 1 T, 4 N’s
M: 1 N
Determine the number of N’s that will be needed to make 60 P’s in each of these cases:
(A) There are currently 10 P’s on hand.
(B) On-hand inventory consists of 15 P’s, 10A’s, 100 N’s. (please show step on how you got the answer)

tree:

A) A) [1 N per M x 5 M per A x 2 A per P] + [3 N per B x 3 B per P] + [4 N per C x 3 C per P] = 31 N per P. For 60 P, N requirements are: [31 N per P x (60 P – 10 OH)] = 1,500 N.

B) ?? (please show how you got this answer.)
