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.

77julia77 [94]

Answer:

E:  a debt of $10.7 trillion and a deficit of zero.

Explanation:

Deficits are usually financed by debt. Here the government has incurred an extra debt of $700 billion. The previous debt of $10 trillion may have been due to any reason and not necessarily deficit. However, the passage does not state if the extra debt is due to deficit or not. So it is safe to select option E.

Hence, the government has incurred a total debt of $10.7 trillion and a deficit of zero.

The following information is available regarding the total manufacturing overhead of Olsen Company for a recent four-month perio
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

$33,000

Explanation:

The calculation of the fixed cost and the variable cost per machine hour by using high low method is shown below:

Variable cost per hour = (High manufacturing overhead cost - low manufacturing overhead cost) ÷ (High machine hours - low machine hours)

= ($198,000 - $153,000) ÷ (110,000 hours - 80,000 hours)

= $45,000 ÷ 30,000 hours

= $1.5

Now the fixed cost is

= High manufacturing overhead cost - (High machine hours × Variable cost per hour)

= $198,000 - (110,000 hours × $1.5)

= $198,000 - $165,000

= $33,000
