An automobile final assembly plant is being planned for an annual production of 150,000 cars. The plant will operate one shift,

250 days per year, but the duration of the shift (hr/shift) is to be determined. The plant will be divided into three departments: (1) body shop, (2) paint shop, and (c) general assembly. The body shop welds the car bodies, and the paint shop coats the welded car bodies. Both of these departments are highly automated. The general assembly department has no automation, but a moving conveyor is used to transport the cars through the manual workstations. A total of 14.0 hours of direct labor (work content time) are accomplished in general assembly. Based on previous lines installed by the company, it is anticipated that the following design parameters will apply to the general assembly department:line efficiency = 95%, balance efficiency = 94%, repositioning time = 0.10 min, and manning level = 2.5. If the plant must produce 60 cars per hour, determine the following for the general assembly department: (a) The number of hours the shift must operate.(b) The number of workers required.(c) The number of workstations.

Answer:

a. Rp= 10.0hr

b. Tc= 1052 workers

c. n= 421 workstations

Explanation:

(a) Rp= Da/250Hsh. Rearranging, Hsh= Da/250Rp= 150,000/250(60) = 10.0 hr

(b) Tc= 60E/Rp= 60(0.95)/60 = 0.95 minTs= Tc– Tr= 0.95 – 0.10 = 0.85 minw= Min Int 14.0(60)/0.85(0.94) = 1051.3 rounded up to 1052 workers

(c) n= w/M= 1052/2.5 = 421 workstations

Svetlanka [38]

Answer: The present value of the new drug is $19.33 million

We follow these steps to arrive at the answer:

Expected Revenues from the drug in year 1(P)   $2 million

Growth Rate (g)                                                        2% p.a.

No. of years  (n)                                                      17 years  

Discount rate (r)                                                        9% p.a.

Since the revenues are expected to grow at a constant rate of 2% p.a, we can treat this series of cash flows as a <u>growing annuity. </u>

We calculate the Present Value of a growing annuity with the following formula:

PV = \frac{P}{r-g}*\left [ 1- \left (\frac{1+g}{1+r}\right)^{n}\right]

Substituting the values we get,

PV = \frac{2}{0.09-0.02}*\left [ 1- \left (\frac{1+0.02}{1+0.09}\right)^{17}\right]

PV = \frac{2}{0.07}*\left [1- 0.323558233\right]

PV = 28.57142857 * 0.676441767

PV = 19.32690763

Selling price per unit = £0.63
ikadub [295]

Answer:

368 units

Explanation:

The Break-even point is calculated by dividing fixed cost by the contribution margin per unit.

Fixed cost = £140

Contribution margin per unit = Selling price per unit - variable cost per unit

Selling price = £0.63 : Variable cost :  £0.25

Contribution margin per units =£0.63 - £0.25

=£0.38

Break-even point = £140 / £0.38

=368.42

=368 units

Darya [45]
The correct answer is side streets.
If you are in a hurry, it may be better to take a different route and drive through side streets in order to avoid the traffic which is usually present in the more 'popular streets.' However, side streets have a lot of traffic control lights, which may slow down your ride even more.
