Three departments- milling (M), drilling (D), andsawing (S)- are assigned to three work areas in Victor Berardis'smachine shop in Kent, Ohio. The number of workpieces movedper day and the distances between the centers of the work areas,in feet, follow. Pieces Moved between Work Areas Each Day lt costs $2 to move I workpiece I foot.What is the cost?
Manufacturing Company uses FIFO method of accumulating costs in a two-department process. Materials are introduced at the inception of the process except for a special material which is added in department 2 at 60% completion as to overhead. Inspection is done at the end of the process in both departments. Production data for Department 2 are given below:
In process, beginning, (80% labor, 70% overhead)2,000 Transferred in 14,900 In process, ending (40% labor, 20% overhead) 3,000 Normal spoilage 200 Abnormal spoilage (found at 30% completion as to laborand 15% as to overhead due to internal failure) 400 Cost data for the month:In process beginning:Transferred in 15,020 Special materials 1,900 Direct labor 4,388 Overhead 11,044 Current costs:Transferred in 137,080 Special materials 14,030 Direct labor 46,000 Overhead 113,564
The cost of units transferred to finished goods is?The cost of spoilage charged to revenue is?
Francis Johnson’s plant needs to design an efficient assembly line to make a new product. The assembly line needs to produce 15 units per hour, and there is room for only four workstations. The tasks and the order in which they must be performed are shown in the following table. Tasks cannot be split, and it would be too expensive to duplicate any task.

What is the workstation cycle time required to produce 15 units per hour?
Note: Round your answer to 1 decimal place.
Balance the line to use the fewest possible workstations to meet the cycle time found in part (b). Use whatever method you feel is appropriate. What is the efficiency of your line balance, assuming the line operates at the cycle time from part (b)?
Note: Round your answer to 1 decimal place.

Batch setup times are negligible. The flowchart denotes the path each product follows through the manufacturing process, and each product’s price, demand per week, and processing times per unit are indicated as well. Purchased parts and raw materials consumed during production are represented by inverted triangles. CKC can make and sell up to the limit of its demand per week; no penalties are incurred for not being able to meet all the demand. Each workstation is staffed by a worker who is dedicated to work on that workstation alone, and is paid $6 per hour. Total labor costs per week are fixed. Variable overhead costs are $3,500/week.
