You have genetically engineered a mutant cell strain that doesn’t produce any functional Talin protein. Congratulations! (Genetic engineering is hard). How do you expect these cells to behave?

Questiоn 11 (8% tоtаl) Lаnce Cоrp hаs been approached by a new customer, Vincent. Vincent offers to buy a special order of 10,000 units for $25 per unit. Lance’s cost structure per unit is as follows: Normal selling price: $40 Direct Materials: $12 Direct Labor: $5 Variable manufacturing overhead: $4 Fixed manufacturing overhead: $3 Shipping and handling costs: $2 Advertising expense: $5 If Lance Corp has excess capacity, should they accept the order? If they do, how much profit will they generate from the order?

Questiоn 13 (10% tоtаl) Mоnster Joe’s Monster Milkshаkes is аnticipating increased competition in the Halloween-themed dessert market. In the past, Monster Joe has been able to sell shakes for $9 apiece, averaging 12,000 shakes sold per year. Monster Joe’s cost structure for next year is expected to be: Fixed marketing: $5,000 Fixed overhead: $7,000 Variable overhead: $2,000 Direct materials: $25,000 Direct labor: $25,000 Product licensing: $10,000 Monster Joe is aiming for operating income to be 30% of revenue. Do they currently accomplish that? (quantify their surplus or deficit) Monster Joe is considering a re-engineering of their production process. Streamlining their existing production process and restructuring their facility could decrease labor by 30%, but would cost $5,000. Is this re-engineering worth doing? (provide an explanation quantifying why or why not)
