There are four cooks in the kitchen. The room service manager also sends the beverage included in the order to the bar at the same time the order is sent to the kitchen (that is, parallel processes). It takes 3 minutes for a bartender to fill the order. When the kitchen and bar orders are both ready. A waiter takes them to the room and bills the guest.

a. Capacity of each resource

Service manager capacity=60/2 minutes per order

Service manager capacity=30 orders per hour

Each chef capacity= 60/16 minutes per order

Each chef capacity= 3.75 orders per hour

4 chefs capacity= 4 ×3.75

4 chefs capacity= 15 orders per hour

Bartender capacity= 60/ 3 minutes

Bartender capacity=20 orders per hour

Each waiter capacity=60/20 minutes

Each waiter capacity=3 orders per hour

6 waiters capacity=6×3

6 waiters capacity=18 orders per hour

Based on the above calculation we can see that the minimum capacity will be the kitchen as the kitchen can only   handle  capacity of 15 orders per hour, which therefore means that the Bottleneck is the Kitchen .

b. Throughput time = 2 + 16 + 20

Throughput time  = 38 minutes

c. Orders that are in the system on average on Friday nights

Using this formula

I = T ×R

Let plug in the formula

I= 10 ×38/60

I = 6.33 orders

d. The total labor costs

Waiters= 6 x 9 = 54

Cooks=4 x 15 = 60

Bartender=1 x 10= 10

Manager=1 x 18= 18

Total Labor=$142

Overhead is added= 142 + 142 × .60

Overhead is added= 227.20

Labor cost per order at 10 orders per hour=227.20/10

Labor cost per order at 10 orders per hour=$22.70 per order

Average cost per order=22.70 + $6

Average cost per order= $28.70

Minimum cost per order

Labor cost per order at 15 orders per hour=227.2/15

Labor cost per order at 15 orders per hour= $15.15

Minimum cost per order =$15.15+$6

Minimum cost per order =$21.15

Woodland industries manufactures and sells custom-made windows. Its job costing system was designed using an activity-based cost
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

a.

Direct materials 101,500

Direct labour (13,600 * 13) 176, 800

Materials handling (508 * 0.28) 142.24

Cutting and lathe work (508 * 12.32) 6258.56

Assembly and inspection (13,600 * 17.5) 238,000

Total manufacturing cost 522,700.8

Cost per unit produced = 522,700.8 / 3,050 =  

= 171.377 per unit.

b.

Predetermined overhead rate = Estimated overhead costs / Estimated Direct labour hours

(61,600 + 2,710,400 + 3,850,000) / 220,000

= 30.1 per direct labour hour

Direct materials 101,500

Direct labour (13,600 * 13) 176,800

Manufacturing overhead (13,600 * 30.1) 409,360

Total manufacturing cost 687,660

Cost per unit produced = 687,660/ 3,050

= 225.46 per unit.
