Chapter 13, Problem 8E

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. 1. Compute the theoretical conversion cost per unit.
  2. 2. Compute the applied conversion cost per minute (the amount of conversion cost actually assigned to the product).
  3. 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.
