A machine project is tasked to you, as shown below. Figure 1: Garbage Collection Robot Using Wireless Communication Technology (nevonprojects.com) 1. The actual machine will be mass-produced based on the machine in Figure 1. The tooling (fixtures, moulds & dies) is estimated at RM100,000 with expected product lifespan of 10,000 sets. Material cost is RM200 per set. Administration and overhead cost are at RM250,000 per year. Production planning per month for the machine is at 300 sets. Determine the machine cost per set.
A manager must decide between two machines. The manager will take into account each machine's operating costs and initial costs, and its breakdown and repair times. Machine A has a projected average operating time of 131 hours and a projected average repair time of 4 hours. Projected times for machine B are an average operating time of 61 hours and a repair time of 5 hours. What are the projected availabilities of each machine? (Round your answers to 3 decimal places.) Answer is complete but not entirely correct. Availability 0.952 0.945 Machine A Machine B

A process control manager is considering two robots to improve materials-handling capacity in the production of rigid shaft couplings that make dissimilar drive components. Robot X has a first cost of $74,000, an annual M&O cost of $31,000, and $35,000 salvage value, and it will improve revenues by $96,000 per year. Robot Y has a first cost of $146,000, an annual M&O cost of $28,000, and $47,000 salvage value, and it will increase revenues by $120,000 per year. The company's MARR is 10% per year, and it uses a 3-year study period for economic evaluations. Calculate the incremental ROR, and identify the robot the manager should select.

Mozaic Inc. has decided to introduce a new product, which can be manufactured by either a computer-assisted manufacturing system (CAM) or a labor-intensive production system (LIP). The manufacturing method will not affect the quality of the product. The estimated manufacturing costs by the two methods are as follows: www CAM System LIP System Direct Material $5.00 $5.60 Direct Labor (DLH) 0.5 DLH x $12 $6.00 0.8 DLH x $9 $7.20 Variable Overhead 0.5 DLH x $6 $3.00 0.8 DLH x $6 $4.80 Fixed Overhead* $2,440,000 $1,320,000 * These costs are directly traceable to the new product line. They would not be incurred if the new product were not produced. The company's marketing research department has recommended an introductory unit sales price of $30. Selling expenses are estimated to be $500,000 annually plus $2 for each unit sold. (Ignore income taxes.) Required: 1. Describe the circumstances under which the firm should employ each of the two manufacturing methods. 2. Identify some business…

Jobs, Inc. has recently started the manufacture of Tri-Robo, a three-wheeled robot that can scan a home for fires and gas leaks and then transmit this information to a smartphone. The cost structure to manufacture 20,000 Tri-Robos is as follows. Direct materials ($50 per robot) Direct labor ($40 per robot) Variable overhead ($6 per robot) Allocated fixed overhead ($30 per robot) Total Cost (a1) $1,000,000 800,000 120,000 600,000 $2,520,000 Jobs is approached by Tienh Inc., which offers to make Tri-Robo for $115 per unit or $2,300,000. Following are independent assumptions. Assume that $405,000 of the fixed overhead cost can be avoided. (Enter negative amounts using either a negative sign MA W P s X f E
Consider the information below for a company whose products goes through two processes; material cost of GH¢100000 for a quantity of 10000kg, labour cost- GH¢50000 and overhead cost as twice the cost of labour. The company expected an output of 9500kg from process 1 but eventually obtained 9400kg. What value should the output be transferred to process 2?
