Because the repetitive nature of the sewing can lead to carpal tunnel syndrome, workers take a 15-minute break after every 14 quilts. Before beginning each batch of 14 quilts, workers spend 5 minutes cleaning and setting up their sewing machines. Calculate the standard quantity of direct labor for one quilt.

Frieling Company installs granite countertops in customers' homes. First, the customer chooses the particular granite slab, and then Frieling measures the countertop area at the customer's home, cuts the granite to that shape, and installs it. The Tramel job calls for direct materials of $1,900 and direct labor of $1,000. Overhead is applied at the rate of 120 percent of direct labor cost. Unfortunately, one small countertop breaks during installation and Frieling must cut another piece and install it to properly complete the job. The additional rework required direct materials costing $400 and direct labor costing $100. Assume that the spoilage was due to the inherently fragile nature of the piece of stone picked out by the Tramels. Frieling had warned them that the chosen piece could require much more care and potentially additional work. As a result, Frieling considers this spoilage to be caused by the Tramels' job. Required: 1. Calculate the cost of the Tramel job. 2. Does a…

Rag Swag Inc. manufactures various styles of men’s casual wear. Shirts are cut and assembled by a workforce that is paid by piece rate. This means that they are paid according to the amount of work completed during a period of time. To illustrate, if the piece rate is $0.10 per sleeve assembled, and the worker assembles 800 sleeves during the day, then the worker would be paid $80 (800 × $0.10) for the day’s work. The company is considering adopting a lean manufacturing philosophy by organizing work cells around various types of products and employing pull manufacturing. However, no change is expected in the compensation policy. On this point, the manufacturing manager stated the following: “Piecework compensation provides an incentive to work fast. Without it, the workers will just goof off and expect a full day’s pay. We can’t pay straight hourly wages—at least not in this industry.” A garment company was following piece rate system for its employees and suddenly lean manufacturing…
