a) Sales and Customers: In the equation (which is not provided, but the concept applies), if: Y is annual sales: This represents the outcome or effect we're interested in measuring. It's likely influenced by other factors. X is customers: This represents a factor that might influence sales. We might manipulate it to see its effect on sales. Therefore, in this case: Independent variable: Customers (X) - This is the variable we can potentially control or change to see its effect on sales. Dependent variable: Annual Sales (Y) - This is the variable that depends on or is influenced by the independent variable (customers). b) Studying and Test Scores: In the professor's scenario: Independent variable: Studying - This is the factor the professor wants to see if it affects test scores. The professor might control the amount of studying assigned or create different study groups. Dependent variable: Test Scores - This is the outcome the professor wants to measure. It's likely influenced by studying but also by other factors like student abilities.

CASE 6-1: PREPARE A PRODUCTION PLAN: WHAT PROBLEMS ARRIVE? Midwest Plastics Company has conducted profit planning for several years. The president stated (with justification) that inventory control and planning had not been satisfactory, which was mainly due to poor planning of production and inventory budgets. Please analyze and provide recommendations, in detail, on the issue regarding the 20B profit plan, which is now being prepared. Their analysis and recommendations will be presented to the executive committee. Despite the seasonality factor, the sales department has been successful in developing a sales plan, on a monthly basis, for each year. The following sales data is available for 20B. 1. Sales plan summary for 20B: 2. Finished goods inventory, as of January 1, 20B, is 96,000 units. 3. Work-in-process inventory will remain constant. 4. Actual annual sales in 20A, including the estimate for December, were 350,000 units. 5. The average finished goods inventory during 20A was 70,000 units. IT IS REQUESTED. 1. Prepare the annual production budget, assuming that management policy is to budget ending finished goods inventory at a standard quantity, based on the ratio of historical sales of 20A to inventory turnover. 2. Prepare a schedule showing sales, production, and inventory levels for each month, assuming: 1) stable inventory, 2) stable production, and 3) recommended inventory-production levels. In developing your recommendations, assume that the following policies have been established: a) The president has set the policy that a maximum inventory of 85,000 units and a minimum inventory of 75,000 units should be used, except in abnormal circumstances. b) A stable level of production is definitely preferred, except that during the holiday season in July and August, production may be reduced by 25 percent. Likewise, a variation in production of 7.5 percent above and below the average level is acceptable. 3. What are the main problems faced by the company in production planning? Make your general recommendations.
