A process that produces computer chips has a mean of .04 defective chip and a standard deviation of .003 chip. The allowable var

Anarel [89]

Answer:

a) 0.667

b) Yes

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Mean = 0.04

Standard Deviation = 0.003

Upper Specification Limit, USL = 0.046

Lower Specification Limit, LSL = 0.034

Now,

a) Capability Index is given as:

Cp = $\frac{(USL-LSL)}{(6\sigma)}$

or

Cp = $\frac{(0.046-0.034)}{(6\times0.003)}$

or

Cp = 0.667

Also,

Cpk = min( $\frac{(USL-Mean)}{(3\sigma)},\frac{(Mean-LSL)}{(3\sigma)}$

or

Cpk = min( $\frac{(0.046-0.04)}{(3\times0.003)},\frac{(0.04-0.034)}{(3\times0.003)}$

or

Cpk = min( 0.667 , 0.667 )= 0.667

Since,

Cp and Cpk are same in this case

therefore, it is ideal condition and process is capable

b) yes

Assume that Corn Co. sold 7,500 units of Product A and 2,500 units of Product B during the past year. The unit contribution marg

myrzilka [38]

Answer:

Break-even point (units)= 8,464 units

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Assume that Corn Co. sold 7,500 units of Product A and 2,500 units of Product B during the past year. The unit contribution margins for Products A and B are $33 and $56, respectively. Corn has fixed costs of $328,000.

First, we need to calculate the proportion of sales:

Product A= 7,500/10,000= 0.75

Product B= 2,500/10,000= 0.25

Now, using the following formula, we can determine the break-even point in units:

Break-even point (units)= Total fixed costs / Weighted average contribution margin

Break-even point (units)= 328,000/ (0.75*33 + 0.25*56)

Break-even point (units)= 328,000/38.75

Break-even point (units)= 8,464 units

The Rowe Corporation uses a standard cost system. The company applies manufacturing overhead to units of product based on machin

Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

Allocated overhead= $216,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Estimated overhead= $225,000

Estimated machine-hours= 25,000

At standard, each unit of finished product requires 3 machine-hours. Units of product completed 8,000 units

<u>To allocate overhead, we need to use the standard number of machine-hours that would take to produce 8,000 units.</u>

First, we need to determine the estimated overhead rate:

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= 225,000/25,000= &9 per machine hour

Now, we can allocate overhead:

Allocated overhead= 9*(8,000*3)= $216,000
