A project consists of three activities: A, B, and C. Activities A and B can begin at time 0 (start of the project), but activity

C can only start after B is completed. The project ends when all activities are completed. The durations of the activities were simulated 10 times and the following values were obtained: Run A Duration B Duration C Duration 1 51 48 17 2 60 48 19 3 30 39 19 4 31 48 22 5 30 31 14 6 41 16 17 7 44 12 6 8 44 12 10 9 45 43 9 10 60 41 10 Based on the simulated numbers given above, what is the average completion time of the whole project?

Answer:

Explanation:

Run A Duration B Duration C Duration 1 51 48 17 2 60 48 19 3 30 39 19 4 31 48 22 5 30 31 14 6 41 16 17 7 44 12 6 8 44 12 10 9 45 43 9 10 60 41 10 Based on the simulated numbers given above, what is the average completion time of the whole project?

Since B is the predecessor of C.

Project completion time for each run will be calculated as Maximum (Duration of A, Duration of B +Duration of C).

Represent

Run = R

Duration of A  = DA

Duration of B  = DB

Duration of C = DC

Project Completion time = PT

<u>R       DA          DB                        DC               PT</u>

1       51            48                        17             48 + 17 = 65

2      60          48                        19             48 + 19 = 67  

4      31           48                       22              48 + 22 = 70

5      30         31                         14              31 + 14 = 45

6      41           16                       17                 41

7     44            12                       6                 44

8     44            12                      10                44

9     45           43                     9              43 + 9 = 52

10     60          41                     10                60

                                                                <u> Total = 546</u>

Total Project completion time in 10 Stimulations = 546

Average project Completion time = 546/10 = 54.6

Therefore, average Project completion time is between 53 and 56 days.

Ratling [72]

Answer:

a) The materials price variance 19026.33 unfav

b) Material Quantity Variance= $ 267 Unfav

c) Direct Labor Rate variance= $ 6127 Unfav

d) Direct labor Efficiency variance= 7710 Fav

e) Variable Overhead Rate Variance= 13099 fav

f) Variable Overhead Efficiency Variance= 3256.25  unfav

Explanation:

<em>First We find the missing figures such as standard quantity ,hours allowed , actual price, rate. Then we list the formulae to use. After that we put in the values of the amounts in the formulae to get the results. Unfavorable variances are those in which the actual quantities are greater than the standard quantities or input .</em>

Kropf Inc.

Given Standards

Direct materials 9.30 liters $ 8.90 per liter

<em>Standard Quantity allowed = 9.3 * 11500= 106950 Litres </em>

Direct labor 0.70 hours $ 25.70 per hour

Variable manufacturing overhead 0.70 hours $ 7.80 per hour

<em>Standard Hours Allowed </em>= $ 0.7 *11500= 8050

Actual Results Given

Actual output 11,500 units

Raw materials purchased 107,900 liters

Actual cost of raw materials purchased $ 979,500

<em>Actual Price</em><em>=</em> Cost/ Purchases=  $ 979,500/107,900 = $9.08

Raw materials used in production 106,980 liters

Actual direct labor-hours 7,750 hours

Actual direct labor cost $ 205,302

<em>Actual Rate</em><em>=</em>$ 205,302 / 7,750 = $ 26.49

Actual variable overhead cost $ 55,414

Actual Overhead Rate= $ 55,414/7,750 = $ 7.15

<u>Formulae to use </u>

1)The materials price variance = (Actual Price * Actual Quantity)- (Standard Price * Actual Quantity)

2) Material Quantity Variance= (Standard Price * Actual Quantity)-(Standard Price * Standard Quantity)

3) Direct Labor Rate variance= (actual hours* actual rate)- (actual hours * standard rate)

4) Direct labor Efficiency variance= (actual hours* standard rate)- (standard hours * standard rate)

5) Variable Overhead Rate Variance= Actual Variable Overhead- Standard Variable Overhead

6)Variable Overhead Efficiency Variance=( Actual Hours * Standard Variable Overhead Rate)-( Standard Hours * Standard Variable Overhead Rate)

<u>Working</u>

1)The materials price variance = (Actual Price * Actual Quantity)- (Standard Price * Actual Quantity)

The materials price variance = ( $9.08*106,980 )- ($ 8.90 *106,980)

The materials price variance = (971148.38)- (952122)=19026.33 unfav

2) Material Quantity Variance= (Standard Price * Actual Quantity)-(Standard Price * Standard Quantity)

Material Quantity Variance=($ 8.90 *106,980)-($ 8.90 *106,950)= $ 267 Unfav

3) Direct Labor Rate variance= (actual hours* actual rate)- (actual hours * standard rate)

Direct Labor Rate variance= ( 7,750*$ 26.49)- (7,750*$ 25.70)= $ 6127 Unfav

4) Direct labor Efficiency variance= (actual hours* standard rate)- (standard hours * standard rate)

Direct labor Efficiency variance=(7,750*$ 25.70)-(8050*$ 25.70)= 7710 Fav

5) Variable Overhead Rate Variance= Actual Variable Overhead- Standard Variable Overhead

Variable Overhead Rate Variance=$ 55,414-( Actual Hours * Standard Variable Overhead Rate)

Variable Overhead Rate Variance=$ 55,414-(7,750*0.70 * $ 7.80)

Variable Overhead Rate Variance=$ 55,414- 42315= 13099 fav

6)Variable Overhead Efficiency Variance=( Actual Hours * Standard Variable Overhead Rate)-( Standard Hours * Standard Variable Overhead Rate)

Variable Overhead Efficiency Variance= (7,750*0.70 * $ 7.80)- (7,750*0.70 * $ 7.15)=42315- 38788.15= 3256.25  unfav

Cost of Producing Guitars Carlota Music Company estimates that the marginal cost of manufacturing its Professional Series guitar
diamong [38]

Answer:

The total monthly cost C(x) incurred by Carlota in manufacturing x guitars/month is <u>C(x) = 0.004x^2 + 90x + 8,500</u>.

Explanation:

Given,

C '(x) = 0.008x + 90 ................................... (1)

To obtain the the total monthly cost C(x) incurred by Carlota in manufacturing x guitars/month, we obtain the integral of equation (1) as follows:

C(x)=\int\limits {C'(x)} \, dx = \int\limits {[0.008x + 90]} \, dx

C(x) = (0.008 / 2) x^2 + 90x + F

C(x) = 0.004x^2 + 90x + F .......................... (2)

Where F is the constant.

Since total cost is the addition of the total cost and total variable cost, the F in equation (2) represents the total fixed cost per month.

Since the fixed costs incurred by Carlota are $8500/month, this implies that F = 8,500.

Substituting F = 8,500 into equation (2), we have:

C(x) = 0.004x^2 + 90x + 8,500 <-------------- Total cost per month

Therefore, the total monthly cost C(x) incurred by Carlota in manufacturing x guitars/month is <u>C(x) = 0.004x^2 + 90x + 8,500</u>.
