It takes 3 minutes to load and 2 minutes to unload a machine. Inspection and packing times total 1 minute; travel between machin

es takes 2 minutes. Machines run automatically for 20 minutes. Operators cost $10 per hour; machines cost $30 per hour. Document all answers completely.

Answer:

(a) The ideal machine assignment time is 7 minutes

(b) Duration of the repeating cycle is 25 minutes. Yes, there will be idle operator time of 7 minutes

(c) Cost per unit produced if three machines are assigned to an operator is $13.88 per unit

Explanation:

Loading = 3 minutes

Unloading = 2 minutes

Run time = 20 minutes

Inspection and packing times = 1 minute

Operators cost $10 per hour

Machines cost $30 per hour

(a) Ideal machine assignment = Machine cycle time ÷ Operator time per machine

Here, Machine cycle time = run time + load time + unload time

= 20 + 3 + 2

= 25  minutes

Operator time per machine = load time + unload time + inspection and packing time = 3 + 2 + 1 = 6

Hence, Ideal machine assignment = 25 ÷ 6 = 4.166=4.17 machine

(b) The number of machine assigned is less than ideal machine assignment hence, Operator will be idle.

Duration of repeating cycle = loading time + unloading time + machine run time = 3+2+20 = 25 minutes

Idle operator time = Cycle time - (number of machines assigned × (load time+ unload time+ inspection and packaging time))= 25- [3×(3+2+1)]

=25-18

=7 minutes

(c) Total cost of per unit produced = ((cost per operator hour + number of machines assigned × cost of per machine hour) × ((loading & unloading time + machine run time)÷60) )) ÷ number of machine

=( (10+[3×30]) × ((3+2+20) ÷ 60)) ÷ 3

=(100 × .416) ÷ 3

= 25 ÷ 3

= $13.88 per unit.

Answer:

Standard direct labour cost = $20.00   per hour

Explanation:

The computation of the value for your position at the end of the trading day is shown below;

Given that

Settled price  = $1296.10

And, the

Two contracts are

= 2 × 100

= 200 troy ounces

Now the position at the end of the day is

= Two contracts × settled price

= $200 × 1296.10

= $259,220

We simply multiplied the two contracts with the settled price so that the value could arrive

hence. the correct option is d.

Arisa [49]

Answer:

the  cash disbursements for manufacturing overhead on the manufacturing overhead budget should be $51,760

Explanation:

The computation of the cash disbursements for manufacturing overhead is as follows

= company's budgeted fixed manufacturing overhead - depreciation + variable manufacturing overhead

= 2,500 direct labor hours × $5 - $3,750 + $43,010

= $12,500 + $39,260

= $51,760

Hence, the  cash disbursements for manufacturing overhead on the manufacturing overhead budget should be $51,760
