Question 1 FNG Paint (Pty) Ltd produces finger paint and sells them to pre‐schools.The following information relates to a set of finger paint. A set of finger paint is considered to be one unit.
Direct labour needed for the first set of paint += 4 hoursDirect labour costs per unit = R30 per hourDirect material costs per unit = R25Total Fixed costs = R2 000Learning curve = 80%
Required:Using the learning curve theory and information provided above, calculate the expected average cost for one set of paint should four and sixteen sets be produced, respectively. Round off to two decimal places.
Specifically, Mr. Schaefer wants you to do the following:
PART 1. Prepare a cost-volume-profit (CVP) analysis of the proposal's financial implications.
1. Specifically, prepare an analysis that includes the projected revenue, variable costs, and fixed costs for enrollment levels of 20, 25, 30 and 37 students using the monthly projections in Attachment A of the case.
2. Then, compute the weighted average contribution margin (CM) per student (computed as the total CM divided by the number of students enrolled) and
3. The number of students that need to enroll at each of the four levels of enrollment for the center to break even. For this analysis, I have provided an Excel template in which I have already sorted variable and fixed costs: I have included the raw data. Note: Your enrollment information has already been weighted so you will not need to calculate weights for your weighted average CM.
Cost estimation, learning curves (continuation of 10-44). Inbee is concerned that she still does not understand the relationship between output and labor consumption. She consults with Jim Park, the head of engineering, and shares the results of her regression estimation. Jim indicates that the production of new smartphone models exhibits significant learning effects—as Hankuk gains experience with production, it can produce additional units using less time. He suggests that it is more appropriate to specify the following relationship:
where x is cumulative production in units, y is the cumulative average direct labor-hours per unit (i.e., cumulative DLH divided by cumulative production), and a and b are parameters of the learning effect. To estimate this, Inbee and Jim use the original data to calculate the cumulative output and cumulative average labor-hours per unit for each month. They then take natural logarithms of these variables in order to be able to estimate a regression…
