Arrange six departments into a 2 × 3 grid so that these conditions are satisfied: 1 close to 2, 5 close to 2 and 6, 2 close to 5, and 3 not close to 1 or 2.
The following production data were taken from the records of the finishing department for June:
Inventory in process, June 1, 25% completed
260 units
Transferred to finished goods during June
5,000 units
Equivalent units of production during June
5,495 units
Determine the number of equivalent units of production in the June 30, finishing department inventory, assuming that the first-in, first-out method is used to cost inventories. The completion percentage of 25% applies to both direct materials and conversion costs.
a.448 units
b.840 units
c.672 units
d.560 units
Ripeka, the warehouse manager at Hine would like to update the company’s inventory locator system so that the picking operation can be streamlined. While conceptually simple to do, she knows that there will be several steps to the update process that will have to be carefully managed. She needs to complete upgrade and train her staff in operating the new system before the busy season, which is only 4 months away. She identifies the various activities, expected time duration, predecessors and costs, as shown in the table.
Identify the project cost.
Ripeka is interested to complete the project three weeks early before starting the busy
season. How much additional cost the project will incur for completing the project three weeks early?
