Process Activity AnalysisThe Brite Beverage Company bottles soft drinks into aluminum cans. The manufacturing process consists of three activities:1. Mixing: water, sugar, and beverage concentrate are mixed.2. Filling: mixed beverage is filled into 12-0z. cans.3. Packaging: properly filled cans are boxed into cardboard "fridge packs."The activity costs associated with these activities for the period are as follows:Mixing$574,000Filling509.000Packaging152,000Total$1,235,000The activity costs do not include materials costs, which are ignored for this analysis. Each can is expected to contain 12 ounces of beverage. Thus, after being filled, each can is automatically weighed. If a can is too light, it is rejected, or "kicked,"from the filling line prior to being packaged. The primary cause of kicks is heat expansion. With heat expansion, the beverage overflows during filling, resulting in underweight cans.This process begins by mixing and filling 9,880,000 cans during the period, of which only 9,500,000 cans are actually packaged. 380,000 cans are rejected due to underweight kicks.A process improvement team has determined that cooling the cans prior to filling them will reduce the amount of overflows due to expansion. After this improvement, the number of kicks is expected to decline from 380,000 cans to 95,000 cans, thusincreasing the number of filled cans to 9,785,000 [9,500,000 + (380,000 - 95,000)].a. Determine the total activity cost per packaged can under present operations. Round to the nearest cent.per canb. Determine the amount of increased packaging activity costs from the expected improvements.c. Determine the expected total activity cost per packaged can after improvements. Round to three decimal places.per can

Taguchi Loss Function Lanman, Inc., estimates its hidden external failure costs using the Taguchi loss function. Lanman produces plastic sheets that vary in thickness and grade. For one of its large-volume products, it was determined that k = $40,000 and T = 0.28 inches in diameter. A sample of four units produced the following values: Unit No. 1 2 3 $ 4 Required: Actual Diameter (y) 0.28 0.30 0.26 0.27 1. Calculate the average loss per unit. Round your intermediate calculations to six decimal places. If required, round your answer to the nearest cent and use the same in subsequent requirements. per unit 2.
