- The mean number of air conditioning units assembled per month by Freeze, Inc. is 750 and the standard deviation is 100 unit E the number of air conditioning units assembled per month follows a normal distribution, calculate the probability of Freeze, In assemble a quantity of air conditioning units greater than the monthly break-even point calculated in problem 3-a. An improved assembling process is proposed to Freeze, Inc. to reduce the variable cost from $500 per unit to $400 per unit. rease the mean number of air conditioning units assembled per month from 750 to 850 and reduce the standard deviation to 90 its. As a result of the improvements, monthly fixed costs would go up from $250,000 to $300,000. Once these improvements are plemented, calculate the new number of air conditioning units that Freeze Inc. must sell every month to break-even, discuss and stify if you would recommend the process improvement initiative. If the number of air conditioning units assembled per month still follows a normal distribution after the implementation of the mprovements described on item (b), calculate the probability of Freeze, Inc. to assemble a quantity of air conditioning units greater nan the new monthly break-even point.

The one in bold, I already sold. Spartan Castings must implement a manufacturing process that reduces the amount of particulates emitted into the atmosphere. Two processes have been identified that provide the same level of particulate reduction. The first process is expected to incur $340,000 of fixed cost and add $40 of variable cost to each casting Spartan produces. The second process has fixed costs of $100,000 and adds $70 of variable cost per casting. a. What is the break-even quantity beyond which the first process is more attractive? The break-even quantity is 8000 castings. b. What is the difference in total cost if the quantity produced is 5,000? The total cost of process 1 is greater. Find the difference in total cost?
Select the right answer. 1. The crossover point between two processes A and B can be stated as - [ ] a. variable costs of process A = Variable costs of process B - [ ] B.

On the average, a firm has an 8-week lead time for work-in-process, and annual cost of goods sold is $12 million. Assuming that the company works 50 weeks a year: a. What is the dollar value of the work-in-process? b. If the lead time could be reduced to 6 weeks, what would be the reduction in WIP?
5 A ) A small office has 4, 4-lamp fixtures. It takes 45 minutes to clean and re-lamp the entire room. Determine the per lamp LABOR cost for group re-lamping the office if each lamp costs $1.50 to buy and the labor rate is $35/hour. B) If the result of the previous calculation where 1.70 $/lamp with a lamp purchase price of $1.50 each and all lamps were replaced at 80% of their average life, compute the per lamp replacement cost for the office

39 The Svenson Furniture Company sells a popular coffee table that comes unassembled and includes three baskets to into the lower part of the assembled table. The percentage of good quality tables is 80%. It costs $32.00 to manufacture one table. Of the defective tables, 70% can be reworked at an additional cost of $9. If the company wants to yield 120 units per week, how many tables should they plan to build per week? Round to the nearest whole number to achieve this goal.
Susan Williams runs a small Flagstaff job shopwhere garments are made. The job shop employs eight workers.Each worker is paid $10 per hour. During the first week ofMarch, each worker worked 45 hours. Together, they produceda batch of 132 garments. Of these gam1ents, 52 were "seconds"(meaning that they were flawed). The seconds were sold for $90each at a factory outlet store. The remaining 80 garments weresold to retail outlets at a price of $198 per gannent. What wasproductivity, in dollars per labor-hour, at this job shop duringthe first week of March?
Manufacturing Company uses FIFO method of accumulating costs in a two-department process. Materials are introduced at the inception of the process except for a special material which is added in department 2 at 60% completion as to overhead. Inspection is done at the end of the process in both departments. Production data for Department 2 are given below: In process, beginning, (80% labor, 70% overhead)2,000 Transferred in 14,900 In process, ending (40% labor, 20% overhead) 3,000 Normal spoilage 200 Abnormal spoilage (found at 30% completion as to laborand 15% as to overhead due to internal failure) 400 Cost data for the month:In process beginning:Transferred in 15,020 Special materials 1,900 Direct labor 4,388 Overhead 11,044 Current costs:Transferred in 137,080 Special materials 14,030 Direct labor 46,000 Overhead 113,564 The cost of units transferred to finished goods is?The cost of spoilage charged to revenue is?

“How many dozen should I put in the proofer?” asked Elizabeth, the new baker at the Sands Cafeteria. Rami El‐Hussieny was the day shift operations manager, and, unfortunately, he did not know how to answer Elizabeth's question. What she wanted to know was simple enough: How many dozen rolls should be placed in the proofer in anticipation of the night's dinner business? The problem was that the frozen dinner roll dough used at the Sands Cafeteria needed to be proof for at least 2 hours prior to being baked for 15 minutes. If too many rolls were proofed, they would never be needed, but they would still have to be baked and made into bread dressing or even tossed out. If too few dozen were proofed and the night was busier than anticipated, they would run out of “Fresh Baked Rolls” (one of the restaurant's signature items), and Rami knew that the night manager would be really upset. It was a daily guess, and sometimes Rami missed the guess! He wondered if a prebaked roll with a shelf life…
