Activity: 1. A certain part is being welded by hand. It takes 5 minutes to weld one part. A jig is being proposed. With the jig, the welding time per part is reduced by 2 minutes. The welder receives P2.00 per hour and the rate for the welding unit is P1.00 per hour. The jig will cost P4,000 with 10 years lifespan without salvage value. It will be used 8 hours/day, 250 days a year. The annual maintenance is P250 per year. If interest is 8% a year, how many parts per day must be welded to pay itself in welding time saved? 2. A factory can produce a capacity of 500,000 units annually of a certain product which can be sold P1.75 each. If the factory only produces 70% of its capacity with a material cost of P300,000 and annual fixed costs of P150,000; a. What is the cost per unit at breakeven point? b. What is the net profit?
