Chapter 1, Problem 1P
- The Toyota truck plant in Indiana produces 150,000 trucks per year. The plant runs one eight�hour shift and makes 400 trucks per day. About 1300 people work on the final assembly line. Each truck has about 20 direct labor hours per car in it.
- Assuming the truck sells for $26,000 and workers earn $50 per hour in wages and benefits, what percentage of the cost of the truck is in direct labor?
- What is the production rate of the final assembly line?

In a casting machining company, it takes an operator 30 seconds to load ,15 seconds to unload each machining center. There are several same centers, all working on the same type of part, and the duration of the automatic operation is 1 minute. The travel time between machines is 15 seconds. Given that the cost per hour of the operator $8 and the cost per hour of the machine is $10, using the man-machine diagram, determine the value of the highest production rate for the system

A CNC milling machine has a purchase price of £120,000 and it is considered from an accounting standpoint to be depreciated to zero value over a period of 5 years. If the machine is to be used for 2 shifts with each shift working for 37 hours/ week and 45 weeks/ year. What is the machine cost/ hr which must be charged in order to amortise/repay the costs over the 5 year period?
To make the calculation simpler, you can assume that over the 5 year period you will be required to pay back 8% interest on the sum borrowed.
