- Manufacturing Company uses FIFO method of accumulating costs in a two-department process. Materials are introduced at the inception of the process except for a special material which is added in department 2 at 60% completion as to overhead. Inspection is done at the end of the process in both departments. Production data for Department 2 are given below: In process, beginning, (80% labor, 70% overhead)2,000 Transferred in 14,900 In process, ending (40% labor, 20% overhead) 3,000 Normal spoilage 200 Abnormal spoilage (found at 30% completion as to laborand 15% as to overhead due to internal failure) 400 Cost data for the month:In process beginning:Transferred in 15,020 Special materials 1,900 Direct labor 4,388 Overhead 11,044 Current costs:Transferred in 137,080 Special materials 14,030 Direct labor 46,000 Overhead 113,564 The cost of units transferred to finished goods is?The cost of spoilage charged to revenue is?A.J.’s Wildlife Emporium manufactures two unique birdfeed-ers (Deluxe and Super Duper) that are manufactured andassembled in up to three different workstations (X, Y, Z) us-ing a small batch process. Each of the products is producedaccording to the flowchart in Figure 5.14. Additionally, theflowchart indicates each product’s price, weekly demand,and processing times per unit. Batch setup times are neg-ligible. A.J. can make and sell up to the limit of its weeklydemand and there are no penalties for not being able to meetall of the demand. Each workstation is staffed by a workerwho is dedicated to work on that workstation alone and ispaid $16 per hour. The plant operates 40 hours per week,with no overtime. Overhead costs are $2,000 per week. Basedon the information provided, as well as the information con-tained in the flowchart, answer the following questions. a.

- Three departments- milling (M), drilling (D), andsawing (S)- are assigned to three work areas in Victor Berardis'smachine shop in Kent, Ohio. The number of workpieces movedper day and the distances between the centers of the work areas,in feet, follow. Pieces Moved between Work Areas Each Day lt costs $2 to move I workpiece I foot.What is the cost?Operation 1 Work Center A 2B 3 4 C D SE 5 Hourly Unit 70 80 100 50 60 60 Output Rate Product X is manufactured by starting with raw material and then processing it sequentially through 5 operations using work centers A to E resepectively (see diagram). The hourly rates for each machine are given in the table. What is the maximum output per hour for product X?The following diagram describes a service system where customers go through either of the two parallel three-step processes (A1-A2-A3 or B1-B2-B3) and then merge into a single line for the final step (F4). Each step has one worker assigned to it (total of 7 workers). The numbers in parentheses are the times in minutes for each step of the process. ( see attached image) What is the capacity of the entire system in terms of customers per hour? Hint: Start with calculating hourly capacity of A1-A2-A3 and B1-B2-B3. How much will the system capacity change if a second worker is assigned to step F4?
- 8 m 1 K Bill's Barbershop has two barbers available to cut customer's hair. Both barbers provide roughly the same experience and skill, but one is just a little bit slower than the other. The process flow below shows that all customers go through steps B1 and B2 and then can be served at either of the two barbers at step B3. The process ends for all customers at step B4. The numbers in parentheses indicate the minutes it takes that activity to process a customer. B1 (7) B2 (8) B3-a (10) B3-b (15) B4 (12) Q a. How long does it take the average customer to complete this process? minutes. (Enter your response rounded to one decimal place.) b. What single activity is the bottleneck for the entire process? B c. How many customers can this process serve in an hour? customers per hour. (Enter your response as an integer.)9K Canine Kennels Company (CKC) manufactures two different types of dog chew toys (A and B, sold in 1,000-count boxes) that are manufactured and assembled on three different workstations (W, X, and Y) using a small-batch process (see the figure below). Batch setup times are negligible. The flowchart denotes the path each product follows through the manufacturing process, and each product's price, demand per week, and processing times per unit are indicated as well. Purchased parts and raw materials consumed during production are represented by inverted triangles. CKC can make and sell up to the limit of its demand per week; no penalties are incurred for not being able to meet all the demand. Each workstation is staffed by a worker who is dedicated to work on that workstation alone and is paid $6 per hour. Total labor costs per week are fixed. Variable overhead costs are $3,500/week. The plant operates one 8-hour shift per day, or 40 hours/week. Product A $2 Step 1 Station W (11 min) Raw…
