Hatch Manufacturing produces multiple machine parts. The theoretical cycle time for one of its products is 65 minutes per unit. The budgeted conversion costs for the manufacturing cell dedicated to the product are 12,960,000 per year. The total labor minutes available are 1,440,000. During the year, the cell was able to produce 0.6 units of the product per hour. Suppose also that production incentives exist to minimize unit product costs. Required: 1. Compute the theoretical conversion cost per unit. 2. Compute the applied conversion cost per minute (the amount of conversion cost actually assigned to the product). 3. Discuss how this approach to assigning conversion cost can improve delivery time performance. Explain how conversion cost acts as a performance driver for on-time deliveries.
Identify cost graphs The following cost graphs illustrate various types of cost behavior: For each of the following costs, identify the cost graph that best illustrates its cost behavior as the number of units produced increases: A.

The expected costs for the Maintenance Department of Stazler, Inc., for the coming year include: Fixed costs (salaries, tools): 64,900 per year Variable costs (supplies): 1.35 per maintenance hour Estimated usage by: Actual usage by: Required: 1. Calculate a single charging rate for the Maintenance Department. 2. Use this rate to assign the costs of the Maintenance Department to the user departments based on actual usage. Calculate the total amount charged for maintenance for the year. 3. What if the Assembly Department used 4,000 maintenance hours in the year? How much would have been charged out to the three departments?
