The union manufacturing company is producing two types of products a and b. The demand forecasts, batch size, and time standards for Mark 1 operation are as follows: Product A. product B demand forecast (units/yr) 1,000 4,000 batch size (units/batch) 20 10 processing time (hr/unit) 3.2. 4.5 setup time (hr/batch) 10 20 the company works 250 days per yr and operates two shifts, each covering 8 hours. If a 20 percent capacity cushion is maintained how many new Mark 1 machines are required if union does not resort to any short term capacity options?

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?

XYZ Company produces and sells 2 products, Lambda and Gamma, and the production process goes through two departments. Traditionally Manufacturing Overhead (M/O) cost is applied on the basis of direct labor hours (DLH); estimated M/O cost is $ 5,757,500 and the estimated DLH is $12,250 for the most recent period.The team decided to replace traditional plantwide costing system to activity-based costing system. There are 3 activity cost pools which represent 3 activity areas at the plant. Direct Labor wage rate is $ 30 per hour. Compute total cost per unit (for lambda and gamma) using activity-based approach. (round your numbers).
The sales forecast for a certain product being sold at P300/bundle is P25M/month. Each bundle has 100 packs with a weight of 30grams/pack. The product undergoes the following manufacturing processes: PROCESS CAPACITY/UNIT COST/UNIT EFFICIENCY Kneading 200kg/hr P800,000 85% Cutting 60kg/hr 600,000 90 Drying 500kg/hr 1,200,000 100 Seasoning 75kg/hr 100,000 100 Packaging 2,400packs/hr 250,000 95 If the company is operating at 25 days/month @ 24-hour operation, how much money is needed for the procurement of the machines? How many factory workers are needed in a 2-shift operation if kneading requires 2 operators, cutting - 2, drying - 1, seasoning - 1 and packaging - 3?
Cablesplice, Inc.'s manufacturing process consists of five steps: making con- ductors, adding insulation, adding sheathing, irradiation, and printing and coil cuttingUnits are measured in meters. In 970,000 meters of cable, 700 defects were found in the conductors, and 75,000 defects were found in the insulation. In 440,000 meters of cable, 8,930 defects were found in the sheathing, and no defects were found in the remaining two steps. (a) Find DPU and the dpmo, and (b) the sigma level for each process step.

An organization is considering three process configuration options. There are two different intermittent processes, as well as a repetitive focus. The smaller intermittent process has fixed costsof $30000 per month, and variable costs of $9 per unit. The larger intermittent process has fixed costs of $11000 per month and variable costs of $2 per unit. A repetitive focus plant has fixed costs of $48000 and variable costs of $1 per unit.a. If the company produced 22000 units, what would be its cost under each of the threechoices?b. Which process offers the lowest cost to produce 39000 units? What is that cost?
