Target CostingLaser Impressions Inc. manufactures color laser printers. Model J20 presently sells for $400 and has a product cost of $320, as follows:Direct materials$230Direct labor60Factory overhead30Total$320It is estimated that the competitive selling price for color laser printers of this type will drop to $380 next year. Laser Impressions has established a target cost tomaintain its historical markup percentage on product cost. Engineers have provided the following cost-reduction ideas:1. Purchase a plastic printer cover with snap-on assembly, rather than with screws. This will reduce the amount of direct labor by 9 minutes per unit.2. Add an inspection step that will add six minutes per unit of direct labor but reduce the materials cost by $8 per unit.3. Decrease the cycle time of the injection molding machine from four minutes to three minutes per part. Thirty percent of the direct labor and 42% of the factoryoverhead are related to running injection molding machines.The direct labor rate is $25 per hour.a. Determine the target cost for Model J20, assuming that the historical markup on product cost and selling price are maintained. Round your final answer to twodecimal places.2$304per unitb. Determine the required cost reduction. Enter as a positive number. Round your final answer to two decimal places.16per unitc. Evaluate the three engineering improvements together to determine if the required cost reduction (drift) can be achieved.

(Chapter 4: Process Improvement) Consider a process consisting of three resources. Assume the demand rate is 8 units/hour. The process activities are always performed in the following sequence. Resource 1 has a processing time of 5 minutes per unit. Resource 2 has a processing time of 4 minutes per unit. Resource 3 has a processing time of 6 minutes per unit. Resource 1 is staffed by worker A and A's wage rate is $13 per hour. Resource 2 is staffed by worker B and B's wage rate is $13 per hour. Resource 3 is staffed by worker C and C's wage rate is $20 per hour. If one additional worker could be hired, to which resource should this worker be assigned? Calculate the new process capacity in units/hr. O Assign the new worker to Resource 3. The process capacity is 12 units per hour. O Assign the new worker to Resource 3. The process capacity is 10 units per hour. O Assign the new worker to Resource 1. The process capacity is 20 units per hour. O Assign the new worker to Resource 2. The…
