Answer:
Actual Quantity Standard quantity Standard rate
1069 1004.8 $ 4
(785 * 1.28)
Direct Material
Quantity Variance= (Standard quantity - Actual quantity) * standard price
(1004.8 - 1069) * $4
$ (256.80) unfavorable
Hence,
Direct Material Quantity Variance = $257 unfavorable
Answer: $7,688
True Cash balance = Unadjusted cash balance + Interest earned + Note received from Nickleson by bank - NSF (Non-sufficient funds) check - bank charges
= 7,176 + 14 + 600 - 67 - 35
= $7,688
Outstanding checks and deposits in transit do not need to be accounted for as they are already included in the unadjusted book balance.
Answer:
1. Throughput time.
This is the length of time it takes to transform a raw material into finished goods.
= Inspection time + Process time + Move time + Queue time
= 0.7 + 2.8 + 1.3 + 4.1
= 8.9 days
2. Manufacturing Cycle Efficiency:
= Value added time / Throughput time * 100%
= 2.8 / 8.9 * 100%
= 31%
3. Percentage of time spent on none valuable activities:
= 1 - Manufacturing cycle efficiency
= 1 - 31%
= 69%
4. Delivery Cycle time:
= Wait time + Throughput time
= 16.2 + 8.9
= 25.1 days
5. New MCE.
Queue time is eliminated:
= 8.9 - 4.1
New Throughput time = 4.8 days
MCE = 2.8 / 4.8
= 58%
