Rough Stuff makes 2 products: khaki shorts and khaki pants for men. Each product passes through the cutting machine area, which is the chief constraint during production. Khaki shorts take 15 minutes on the cutting machine and have contribution margin per pair of shorts of $14. Khaki pants take 24 minutes on the cutting machine and have a contribution margin per pair of pants of $28. If it is assumed that Rough Stuff has 4,800 hours available on the cutting machine to service a minimum demand for each product of 3,000 units, how much will profits increase if 108 more hours of machine time can be obtained?

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…
