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.
Suppose that a company is spending 60,000 per year for inspecting, 30,000 for purchasing, and 40,000 for reworking products. A good estimate of nonvalue-added costs would be a. 70,000. b. 130,000. c. 40,000. d. 90,000. e. 100,000.
NUBD Company is planning to introduce a new product with a 75 percent incremental unit-time learning curve for production in batches of 1,500 units. The variable labor costs are P55 per unit for the first 1,500-unit batch. Each batch requires 200 hours. There are P15,000 in fixed costs not subject to learning. What is the cumulative total time (labor hours) to produce 3,000 units?
ABC Company is producing and selling Product X. Company management anticipates that a 70% learning curve will apply to the production of a new item. The cost of first item is $1,500 in materials. First item will take 500 labor hours. The cost per labor hour is $4 per hour. Variable overheads are 130% of labor costs. ABC Company has a profit mark-up for its products in amount of 20%. What is the cost of the third unit of Product X? O $3.238 $3,420 O $2.620 O $2.788
The manufacturing process of a new product is very labor intensive. The learning curve percentage (LC) for the process is 90%. It took 30 hours with 15 workers together to produce the first product. The average labor cost including overhead expenses is about $20 per hour. (a) Estimate the labor cost (including overhead expenses) to produce the tenth product? (Hint: 2 steps. How long is T_10? How much is the cost?) (b) A new training program is intended to lower the learning-curve percentage by 10% (minus 10%). If the program is successful, what cost savings will be realized for the tenth unit? (Hint: How long is the new T_10? How much is the new cost? How much is the cost saving?)
Fruit Computer Company makes a fruit themed computer. Variable costs are $200 per unit, and fixed costs are $31,000 per month. Fruit Computer Company sells 500 units per month at a sales price of $320. The company believes that it can increase the price if the computer quality is upgraded. If so, the variable cost will increase to $230 per unit, and the fixed costs will rise by 25%. The CEO wishes to increase the company's operating income by 10%. Which sales price level would give the desired results? (Round your answer to the nearest cent.) O $371.30 per unit O $262.00 per unit O $378.00 per unit. O $1056.00 per unit < Previous
Sonora, Inc. is launching a new product that it estimates will sell for $95 per unit. Annual demand is estimated to be 98,000 units. Sonora estimates that using its current manufacturing technology, it can manufacture the units for $37 per unit, but if it purchases a new machine, the units can be manufactured for $36 per unit. Sonora has a target profit of 20% return on sales. Under target costing, what is the target cost for the new product?
An all-wood furniture manufacturer operates 8 hours per day for 340 days per year, and has a demand of 2,000 units per day. There are four production cycles per day. Assume the following: 7,700 units produced per day, holding cost per unit is $5 per year, labor rate to do line set-ups is $13 per hour. With quick set-ups, the production line must be quickly re-organized. What is the target set-up cost? Please round to two decimals and do not include a dollar sign. What is the set-up time in minutes? Please round to the nearest two decimals, and do not write the word "minutes" in your answer just enter your number with the two decimals.
A consulting engineering company is proposing a project that it estimates will require 210hours of technical work. Their company-wide labor rate is $70.00 per hour. Based on workthe company has performed in recent years, their Labor Utilization Rate is 62.5% and theirBreak Even Multiplier is 2.1. The company wants to target a Profit of 30% for this project. I need to solve for direct labor cost, total labor cost, indirect cost, total cost, how much the company should charge, effective labor multiplier and non-labor indirect costs
Gordon Corporation produced 10,000 digital watches in the current year. Variable costs are $8 per watch. Overhead assigned is $2.25 per watch. A supplier offers the watches for $9.50 each. Gordon's production manager reports the incremental overhead is $1.25 per watch. Gordon should: a.Continue making the watches as an additional $1.50 per watch would be incurred if bought from the supplier. b.Buy the watches as they would save $0.75 per watch. c.Buy the watches as they would save $1.50 per watch. d.Buy the watches as they would save $1.75 per watch. e.Continue making the watches as an additional $0.25 per watch would be incurred if bought from the supplier.
Zarget Ltd produce hand held medical equipment and are developing a new product to bring to the market. The prototype took 5 labour hours to produce at a cost of £15 per labour hour. Other variable costs amount to £45 per unit. It is estimated that an 80% learning curve will apply and that steady state will be reached after 100 units have been produced. They expect to be able to produce and sell 300 units in the next 12 months. (b=-0.3219) Required: Calculate the total variable cost of producing 300 units taking into consideration the learning curve effect.
Amanufacturermakes 7,900,000 memory chips per year. Each chip takes 0.4minutes of direct labor at the rate of $8 per hour. The overhead costs are estimated at $11 per direct labor hour. A new process will reduce the unit production time by 0.01 minutes. If the overhead cost will be reduced by $5.50 for each hour by which total direct hours are reduced, what is the maximum amount you will pay for the new process? Assume that the new process must pay for itself by the end of the first year. (a) $25,017 (b) $1,066,500 (c) $10,533 (d) $17,775 (e) $711,000.
