AccuSound Corporation manufactures printed circuits for stereo amplifiers. A common product defect is a "drift" caused by failure to maintain precise heat levels during the production process. Rejects from the 100 percent testing program can be reworked to acceptable levels if the defect is drift. However, in a recent analysis of customer complaints, Marie Allen, the assistant controller, and the quality control engineer determined that normal rework does not bring the circuits up to standard. Sampling showed that about half of the reworked circuits will fail after extended amplifier operation. The incidence of failure in the reworked circuits is projected to be about 10 percent over five years. 3. What should Marie Allen do?

Harrington Manufacturing Inc. began operation 5 years ago producing the probo, a new type of instrument it hoped to sell to doctors, dentist, and hospitals. The demand for probos far exceeded initial expectations, and the company was unable to produce enough probos to meet that demand. Harrington was manufacturing probos on equipment built at the start of its operations, but it needed more efficient equipment to meet demand. The company management decided to design and build the equipment, because no equipment currently available on the market was suitable for producing probos.    In 2021, a section of the plant was devoted to development of the new equipment and a special staff of personnel was hired. Within six months, a machine was developed at a cost of $170,000that increased production and reduced labor cost substantially. Sparked by the success the new machine, the company built three more machines of the same type at a cost of $80,000 each. Required: In addition to satisfying a…

Shady Fabrication Group (SFG) manufactures components for manufacturing equipment at several facilities. The company produces two, related, parts at its Park River Plant, the models SF-08 and SF-48. The differences in the models are the quality of the materials and the precision to which they are produced. The SF-48 model is used in applications where the precision is critical and thus requires greater oversight in the production process. Although sales remain reasonably strong, managers at SFG have noticed that the company is meeting more resistance to the pricing for SF-08, although there seems to be little need for negotiation on the price of the SF-48 model. As a result, the marketing manager at SFG has asked the financial staff to review the costs of the two products to understand better what might be happening in the market. Manufacturing overhead is currently assigned to products based on their direct labor costs. For the most recent month manufacturing overhead was $208,800.…

I need requirement 2 please.

Ashley Technology Inc. manufactures a scrambling device for cellular telephones. The device's main component is a delicate part, CT140. CT140 is easily damaged and requires careful handling. Once damaged, it must be discarded. The firm hires only skilled laborers to manufacture and install CT140; however, some are still damaged. Robotic instruments process all other parts. Ashley's operating data for 2 years are as follows: Units manufactured Number of CT140 used Number of direct labor hours spent Cost of CT140 per unit Direct labor wage rate per hour 2019 $ S 750,000 900,000 150,000 156 56 2018 1,000,000 1,050,000 200,000 $ 135 $ 62 Assume that fixed manufacturing costs are $50 million in both 2018 and 2019. Required: 1. Compute the total productivity ratios for 2018 and 2019.

California Circuits Company (3C) manufactures a variety of components. Its Valley plant specializes in two electronic components used in circuit boards. These components serve the same function and perform equally well. The difference in the two products is the raw material. The XL-D chip is the older of the two components and is made with a metal that requires a wash prior to assembly. Originally, the plant released the wastewater directly into a local river. Several years ago, the company was ordered to treat the wastewater before its release, and it installed relatively expensive equipment. While the equipment is fully depreciated, annual operating expenses of $260,000 are still incurred for wastewater treatment.   Two years ago, company scientists developed an alloy with all of the properties of the raw materials used in XL-D that generates no wastewater. Some prototype components using the new material were produced and tested and found to be indistinguishable from the old…

44. The design for the new electric car had been approved by the board and production was underway, but the VP of Manufacturing was nervous about the rate of defective parts from suppliers. See the screenshot below. If he chose to construct a pivot table to present the number of defects by subassembly name by month, which fields should appear in the Rows, Columns, and Values areas of the pivot table? Assume the three columns of the dataset have been named Subassembly_Name, Month, and Defects. 1 Subassembly Name 2 Master Cylinder 3 Master Cylinder 4 Wheel Hub 5 6 LED Assembly 7 LED Assembly 8 Airbag 9 Airbag 10 Cockpit Monitor 11 Airbag 12 Master Cylinder 13 Airbag 14 Airbag Master Cylinder 15 Airbag 16 Cockpit Monitor 17 Locking System 18 Master Cylinder 19 Locking System 20 Locking System 21 LED Assembly 22 Locking System 23 Cockpit Monitor 24 Locking System 25 Airbag 26 Wheel Hub Month May Feb March Jan June March Jan June April May June March June March Feb Feb June March Feb Feb…
