The Crunchy Potato Chip Company sells chips in boxes with a net weight of 846 grams per box . Each box contains ten individual 3

-ounce packets of chips. Product design specifications call for the packet-filling process average to be set at 853 grams so that the average net weight per box will be 853 grams. Specification width is set for the box to weigh 846±12grams. The standard deviation of the packet-filling process is 5 grams per box. The production manager has just learned that the packet-filling process average weight has dropped down to 846 grams. Calculate process capability index.

Answer:

0.8

Explanation:

Given:

Number of chips contained in each box = 10

Weight of each packet of chips = 3 ounce

Average weight per box = 853 grams

Upper specification limit of the weight = 846 + 12 grams = 858 grams

Lower specification limit of the weight = 846 - 12 grams = 834 grams

Standard deviation, σ = 5 grams

Now,

Capability index = \frac{\textup{Upper limit - Lower limit}}{6\sigma}

or

Capability index = \frac{858 - 834}{6\times5}

or

Capability index = 0.8

kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

Instructions are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Schell has a total of $39,060 in overhead.

Direct labor hours:

Standard= 400

Deluxe= 200

Machine hours:

Standard= 4,150

Deluxe= 3,000

To calculate the estimated manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:

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

1) Direct labor hours as allocation rate

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= 39,060/600= $65.1 per direct labor hour

Now, we can allocate to each product line:

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Standard= 65.1*400= $26,040

Deluxe= 65.1*200= $13,020

2) Machine hour as allocation rate:

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= 39,060/7,150= $5.46 per machine hour

Now, we can allocate to each product line:

Standard= 5.46* 4,150= $22,659

Deluxe= 5.46*3,000= $16,380

I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

30 in total

Explanation:

In order to calculate how many items A we can produce we need to check how many units required we have, in this case, we have:

40 B's

50 C's

15  D's

We require 2 units of C, 1 Unit of B, and 1 unit of C.

As you can see in our inventory we only have 15 units of D's, meaning that that is our maximum number of items A produced this week, since we already have 15 A items, we can deliver 30 A products this week.

victus00 [196]

Answer:<u><em> Elle's coffee has lots of close substitutes while coffee has few substitutes, so the demand for Elle's coffee is more elastic than the market demand for coffee.</em></u>

Here, it can be seen that when Elle's Espresso Bar raised its price by 10​ percent, the quantity of coffee that Elle sold decreased by 40 percent, whereas when Elle and all her competitors cut their prices by 10​ percent, the quantity of coffee sold by Elle increased by only 4 percent.

∴<em><u> The demand for Elle's coffee is more elastic than the market demand for coffee.</u></em>
