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

A 14-week construction activity requires a crane that rents for $1,000 per week and a crew of general laborers that costs $5,000
Helen [10]

Answer: C) $2,000 per week.

Explanation:

The slope of the project refers to the additional amount that it would cost to be able to finish the project faster than schedule.

In the question, the construction activity is for 14 weeks at a rate of $5,000 for the laborers per week. If you wanted to reduce this project duration to 10 weeks, you will have to spend an additional $2,000 more per week.

This $2,000 is therefore the slope of the activity.
