Explanation / Answer

b) Determine the gross quantities needed of each item if you are to assemble 60 brackets.

In this case gross quantities of material will be used for further calculation of its components in following manner -

c) Compute the net quantities needed if there are 25 of the base and 100 of the clamp in stock.

In this case the net requirement for material will be used for further calculation of its components in following manner.

1.            Base: 60 (gross)-25 (in stock) = 35 units (net requirement for brackets)

2.            spring: 60*2 = 120 units (for brackets)

3.            Clamp: 60*3 (for brackets) + 35*2 (for Base) = 250(gross) -100 (in stock) = 150 units (net requirement)

4.            Housing: 35*2 (for base) = 70 units

5.            Handle: 150 *1 (for clamp) = 150 units

6.            Casting: 150 *2 (for clamp) = 300 units

7.            Bearing: 70 *2 (for housing) = 140 units

8.            Shaft: 70 *1 (for housing) = 70 units
