5. How much money (Profit) does the Moon Friend factory make in a year? Janet found out
that their rent and all other overhead totaled $500,000, annually. (2 points)
6. Janet remembered that her favorite class in the program, P501 had a course about Toyota.
She was planning on implementing Toyota principles at the facility. What would that
mean? Building on Toyota principles idea. If they adopted ALL of Toyota’s principles,
and discovered there was something wrong with the polymer and took 30 minutes to
figure out the solution and solve it. How much would this cost them? (3 points)

7. After working through all her numbers, Janet checked her email and found a recent note
from her boss. It mentioned that Magic Company recently invented a machine, “The
Magic 500.” This machine would create 250 molded Moon Friends per hour, only needs
1 operator to supervise it, and uses $2 of electricity a shift. This could be bought and
added to the Molding process. This machine costs $ 300,000 and lasts two years, before
magically evaporating. What kind of impact would this have on the financials of the
firm? (5 points)
