Complete Question:
You are considering the purchase of a new machine to help produce a new product line being introduced. The machine is expected to have a setup time of 10 minutes per batch and a processing time of 2 minutes per part. You plan to have batch sizes of 50 parts. The plant operates 8 hours per day.
What is the capacity of the machine in batches per day?
Answer:
The capacity of the machine in batches = 4 batches per day.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Set up time per batch = 10 minutes
Processing time per part = 2 minutes
Batch sizes = 50 parts
Plant operation = 8 hours per day
b) Capacity in batches per day:
Total batch time = 10 + 50 * 2 = 110 minutes
Total minutes of operation per day = 8 * 60 = 480 minutes
Capacity in batches = 480/110 = 4.36 or approximately 4 batches
c) Each batch produces 50 parts with each part taking some 2 minutes and an additional batch setup time of 10 minutes, giving a total of 110 minutes per batch. Since there are some 480 (8 * 60) minutes available per day, it means that the entity can only run about 4 batches (480/110) per day. These 4 batches will consume a total of 440 minutes (110 x 4), leaving some 40 minutes as unutilized time.
Answer:
The correct answer is D.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Total Cost Production (units)
April $119,400 281,300
May 92,000 162,800
June 99,000 238,000
<u>To calculate the variable cost per unit and the total fixed cost, we need to use the following formula:</u>
Variable cost per unit= (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost)/ (Highest activity units - Lowest activity units)
Variable cost per unit= (119,400 - 92,000) / (281,300 - 162,800)
Variable cost per unit= $0.231
Fixed costs= Highest activity cost - (Variable cost per unit * HAU)
Fixed costs= 119,400 - (0.231*281,300)
Fixed costs= $54,701
Answer:
a. Mr Smith's orange business because it's a small fraction of the economy
a. a discount of 2 percent will be allowed if the invoice is paid within 10 days of the invoice date.
So for example if the bill is $100 "2/10 net 30" and you pay within 10 days, you get a 20 cent discount and the balance is $9.80. If you pay in 30 days, the full 10 dollars is due.
