ound Tek Inc. manufactures electronic stereo equipment. The manufacturing process includes printed circuit (PC) board assembly, final assembly, testing, and shipping n the PC board assembly operation, a number of individuals are responsible for assembling electronic components into printed circuit boards. Each operator is responsib or soldering components according to a given set of instructions. Operators work on batches of 50 printed circuit boards. Each board requires 4 minutes of board ssembly time. After each batch is completed, the operator moves the assembled boards to the final assembly area. This move takes 11 minutes to complete. The final assembly for each stereo unit requires 18 minutes and is also done in batches of 50 units. A batch of 50 stereos is moved into the test building, which is across che street. The move takes 20 minutes. Before conducting the test, the test equipment must be set up for the particular stereo model. The test setup requires 30 minutes. The units wait while the setup is performed. In the final test, the 50-unit batch is tested one at a time. Each test requires 9 minutes. The completed batch, after all testing, is sent to shipping for packaging and final shipment to customers. A complete batch of 50 units is sent from testing to shipping. The Shipping Department is located next to testing. Thus, there is no move time between these two operations. Packaging and labeling requires 11 minutes per unit. 1.

Process Costing
Process costing is a sort of operation costing which is employed to determine the value of a product at each process or stage of producing process, applicable where goods produced from a series of continuous operations or procedure.
Job Costing
Job costing is adhesive costs of each and every job involved in the production processes. It is an accounting measure. It is a method which determines the cost of specific jobs, which are performed according to the consumer’s specifications. Job costing is possible only in businesses where the production is done as per the customer’s requirement. For example, some customers order to manufacture furniture as per their needs.
ABC Costing
Cost Accounting is a form of managerial accounting that helps the company in assessing the total variable cost so as to compute the cost of production. Cost accounting is generally used by the management so as to ensure better decision-making.

Sound Tek Inc. manufactures electronic stereo equipment. The manufacturing process includes printed circuit (PC) board assembly, final assembly, testing, and shipping.
In the PC board assembly operation, a number of individuals are responsible for assembling electronic components into printed circuit boards. Each operator is responsible
for soldering components according to a given set of instructions. Operators work on batches of 50 printed circuit boards. Each board requires 4 minutes of board
assembly time. After each batch is completed, the operator moves the assembled boards to the final assembly area. This move takes 11 minutes to complete.
The final assembly for each stereo unit requires 18 minutes and is also done in batches of 50 units. A batch of 50 stereos is moved into the test building, which is across
the street. The move takes 20 minutes. Before conducting the test, the test equipment must be set up for the particular stereo model. The test setup requires 30
minutes. The units wait while the setup is performed. In the final test, the 50-unit batch is tested one at a time. Each test requires 9 minutes. The completed batch, after
all testing, is sent to shipping for packaging and final shipment to customers. A complete batch of 50 units is sent from testing to shipping. The Shipping Department is
located next to testing. Thus, there is no move time between these two operations. Packaging and labeling requires 11 minutes per unit.
1. Determine the amount of value-added and non-value-added lead time and the value-added ratio in this process for an average stereo unit in a batch of 50 units.
Categorize the non-value-added time into wait and move time. Round the percentage to one decimal place.
