Required Information [The following information applies to the questions displayed below] For many years, Thomson Company manufactured a single product called LEC 40. Then three years ago, the company automated a portion of its plant and at the same time introduced a second product called LEC 90 that has become Increasingly popular. The LEC 90 is a more complex product, requiring 0.80 hours of direct labor time per unit to manufacture and extensive machining in the automated portion of the plant. The LEC 40 requires only 0.40 hours of direct labor time per unit and only a small amount of machining. Manufacturing overhead costs are currently assigned to products on the basis of direct labor-hours. Despite the growing popularity of the company's new LEC 90, profits have been declining steadily. Management is beginning to believe that there may be a problem with the company's costing system. Direct material and direct labor costs per unit are as follows: Direct materials Direct labor…

A production manager finds that for every 1,000 units of output his company produces, 5.8% is defective (i.e. waste). If the production process of this company uses 40 units of material to produce 120 units of output, determine the quantity of material and the output level that will be required to produce 142,500 non-defective units. Use it to answer questions 48-52. 48. What is the number of defective units for every 1000 units of output? (a) 58 (b) 580 (c) 600 (d) 700 49. To produce 142,500 non-defective units, the output level required is: (a) 142,500 (b) 142,765 (c) 150,675 (d) 150,765 50. How many defective units will be produced for an output of 136,000? (a) 6580 (b) 7888 (c) 8250 (d) 9000 51. If 40 units of material is required to produce 120 units of output, what quantity of material will be used to produce the output in Q63 above? (a) 47500 (b) 47588 (c) 50225 (d) 50255 52. If the company produced the output of 136,000 instead of the 142,500, what will be the percentage in…
