Chapter 11, Problem 47P
(Appendix 11A) Cycle Time, Velocity, Conversion Cost
The theoretical cycle time for a product is 30 minutes per unit. The budgeted conversion costs for the manufacturing cell are $2,700,000 per year. The total labor minutes available are 600,000. During the year, the cell was able to produce 1.5 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 unit (the amount of conversion cost actually assigned to the product).
- 3. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Discuss how this approach to assigning conversion costs can improve delivery time performance.

A specified part can be obtained by either of two methods. Method 1 will have fixed costs of $75,000 per year and a variable cost of $25 per unit. Method 2 will have fixed costs of $90,000 per year and a variable cost of $17 per unit. The number of units that must be produced each year for the two methods to be equally attractive is closest to _____.
Calculate the total incremental cost of making 78,000 and buying 78,000 units. Should the company continue to manufacture the part, or should it buy the part from the outside supplier?

- Lander Parts, Inc., produces various automobile parts. In one plant, Lander has a manufacturing cell with the theoretical capability to produce 450,000 fuel pumps per quarter. The conversion cost per quarter is 9,000,000. There are 150,000 production hours available within the cell per quarter. Required: 1. Compute the theoretical velocity (per hour) and the theoretical cycle time (minutes per unit produced). 2. Compute the ideal amount of conversion cost that will be assigned per subassembly. 3. Suppose the actual time required to produce a fuel pump is 40 minutes. Compute the amount of conversion cost actually assigned to each unit produced. What happens to product cost if the time to produce a unit is decreased to 25 minutes? How can a firm encourage managers to reduce cycle time? Finally, discuss how this approach to assigning conversion cost can improve delivery time. 4. Assuming the actual time to produce one fuel pump is 40 minutes, calculate MCE. How much non-value-added time is being used? How much is it costing per unit? 5. Cycle time, velocity, MCE, conversion cost per unit (theoretical conversion rate actual conversion time), and non-value-added costs are all measures of performance for the cell process. Discuss the incentives provided by these measures.arrow_forwardSchylar Pharmaceuticals, Inc., plans to sell 130,000 units of antibiotic at an average price of 22 each in the coming year.

Each year, the increase or decrease is equally likely Fixed costs of running the factory are $50M per year if the factory is implemented (not including rent) Rent is $10M, whether or not the factory is set-up We will assume risk neutrality and a 10% cost of capital For simplicity, we will assume that there is no initial (year 0) cashflow associated with the factory The production technology of the factory allows for flexible starting (but not stopping). This means that in year 1, the factory may be operated or not. If the factory is operational in year 1, it will also be operational in year 2.
