Assume that the inspection activity has an expected cost of 120,000. Expected direct labor hours are 3,000, and expected number of inspections is 600. The best activity rate for inspection is as follows: a. 40 per inspection b. 40 per hour c. 200 per inspection d. 200 per hour
A work element takes 20 hours of labor of a technician. Currently, the technician makes $22.50 per hour. For this project, the overhead charges are 72% of the direct labor charges and 10% personal time was assumed for this work element. What is the grand total cost to complete this work element? (the total be the sum of the direct labor, overhead, and personal time cost)?
A manual assembly line is being designed for a product with annual demand = 100,000 units. The line will operate 50 wks/year, 5 shifts/wk, and 7.5 hr/shift. Work units will be attached to a continuously moving conveyor. Work content time = 42.0 min. Assume line efficiency E = 0.97, balancing efficiency Eb = 0.92, and repositioning time Tr = 6 sec. Determine: (a) hourly production rate to meet demand, (b) number of workers required.
Boarders estimates overhead will utilize 160,000 machine hours and cost $80,000. It takes 4 machine hours per unit, direct material cost of $5 per unit, and direct labor of $5 per unit. What is the cost of each unit produced?
Use the following information for Exercises 5-44 through 5-46: The following six situations at Diviney Manufacturing Inc. are independent. a. A manual insertion process takes 30 minutes and 8 pounds of material to produce a product. Automating the insertion process requires 15 minutes of machine time and 7.5 pounds of material. The cost per labor hour is 12, the cost per machine hour is 8, and the cost per pound of materials is 10. b. With its original design, a gear requires 8 hours of setup time. By redesigning the gear so that the number of different grooves needed is reduced by 50%, the setup time is reduced by 75%. The cost per setup hour is 50. c. A product currently requires 6 moves. By redesigning the manufacturing layout, the number of moves can be reduced from 6 to 0. The cost per move is 20. d. Inspection time for a plant is 16,000 hours per year. The cost of inspection consists of salaries of 8 inspectors, totaling 320,000. Inspection also uses supplies costing 5 per inspection hour. The company eliminated most defective components by eliminating low-quality suppliers. The number of production errors was reduced dramatically by installing a system of statistical process control. Further quality improvements were realized by redesigning the products, making them easier to manufacture. The net effect was to achieve a close to zero-defect state and eliminate the need for any inspection activity. e. Each unit of a product requires 6 components. The average number of components is 6.5 due to component failure, requiring rework and extra components. Developing relations with the right suppliers and increasing the quality of the purchased component can reduce the average number of components to 6 components per unit. The cost per component is 500. f. A plant produces 100 different electronic products. Each product requires an average of 8 components that are purchased externally. The components are different for each part. By redesigning the products, it is possible to produce the 100 products so that they all have 4 components in common. This will reduce the demand for purchasing, receiving, and paying bills. Estimated savings from the reduced demand are 900,000 per year. 5-44 Nonvalue-Added Costs Refer to the information for Diviney Manufacturing on the previous page. Required: Estimate the nonvalue-added cost for each situation.
Crystal Pools estimates overhead will utilize 250,000 machine hours and cost $750,000. It takes 2 machine hours per unit, direct material cost of $14 per unit, and direct labor of $20 per unit. What is the cost of each unit produced?

Erie Company manufactures a mobile fitness device called the Jogging Mate. The company's labor standards for one Jogging Mate are as follows: Standard Standard Rate Hours 30 minutes per Hour $ 5.60 Standard Cost $ 2.80 During August, 10,660 hours of direct labor time were needed to make 19,900 units of the Jogging Mate. The direct labor cost totaled $58,630 for the month. Required: 1. What is the standard labor-hours allowed (SH) to makes 19,900 Jogging Mates? 2. What is the standard labor cost allowed (SH x SR) to make 19,900 Jogging Mates? 3. What is the labor spending variance? 4. What are the labor rate variance and the labor efficiency variance? 5. The budgeted variable manufacturing overhead rate is $4.30 per direct labor-hour. During August, the company incurred $51,168 in variable manufacturing overhead cost. Compute the variable overhead rate and efficiency variances for the month. Note: For requirements 3 through 5, indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for…
