ii. Group 2 (repeat customers): 80% of cases
This year, there are 50 income tax statements arriving each week. In order to prepare the income tax statement, GV has three resources. The activities are carried out by the following three persons:

ii. Senior accountant (who is also the owner): who processes only tax statements for new customers
iii. Junior accountant: who only processes tax statements for repeat customers.
Processing times for both groups and all resources are shown in the table below. Assume that everyone works 40 hours per week.
Group Administrator [min/unit] Handling by senior accountant
[min/unit] Handling by junior accountant
[min/unit]
1 20 40 n/a

Answer:

a. To find bottleneck resource, we need to determine the utilization of each resource

Processing capacity of Administrator = Available time per week / Processing time = 40*60/20 = 120 cases per week

There are 50 cases per week. So utilization of Administrator = 50/120 = 41.7%

Processing capacity of Senior accountant = 40*60/40 = 60 cases per week.

New cases are 20% of 50 cases per week Therefore utilization of Senior accountant = 20%*50/60 = 16.7%

Processing capacity of Junior accountant = 40*60/15 = 160 cases per week.

Repeat cases are 80% of 50 cases per week Therefore utilization of Junior accountant = 80%*50/160 = 25%

Utilization of Administrator is maximum. Therefore it is the bottleneck resource for 20:80 mix of New and Repeat cases.

b. Flow rate of New cases per week = 50*20% = 10 cases per week

c. Flow rate of Repeat cases per week = 50*80% = 40 cases per week

d. In (a) we have seen that for 20:80 mix between new and repeat cases, Administrator is the bottleneck resource with a capacity of 120 cases per week. Therefore capacity for new cases = 120*20% = 24 per week

e. Capacity for Repeat customers = 120*80% = 96 per week

oksano4ka [1.4K]

1. Department A  (manufactures parts in a highly automated process): Machine hours

2. Department B  (assembles the parts by hand): Direct labor hours

3. Department C (places completed units in a heat chamber to sterilize the before they are shipped out): Batches

Machine hours is used to measure factory overhead as against the goods produced. This method is usually applied in production environment using machine, and where the most activities are done by machines.  On the other hand direct labor is used when the production of goods and services is done by human hands, and not machines. While Machine hours is the appropriate overhead allocation rate for Department A, Direct Labor hours will be appropriate for Department B. Hence Batches will be appropriate for Department C.

Why is there no competition in a monopoly?
barxatty [35]
A) there are no close substitutes

Explanation:

A monopoly results when there is a single provider of a particular good or service. Since they’re the only company providing that good or service, the consumer must conduct their business with that specific provider. For example, imagine that Walmart is the only store you can buy food from. Walmart would dominate the entire supply market as it would be the only store from which you can buy your food.
