Explain the computation needed. We have been producing product A for several years and look forward to several more years of sales at 500,000 units per year or 2,000 units per day. The present method requires a standard time of 2.0 mins per unit or 30 pcs per hour. At this rate, it takes 33.33 hrs to make 1,000 units. All production will run on the day shift. Present Method and Costs- with a labor rate of $10.00/hr, the labor cost will be $333.30 to produce 1,000 units. The cost of 500,000 units per year would be $166,650.00 in direct labor. New Method and Cost- we have a reduction idea. If we buy this new machine attachment for $1000, the new time standard would be lowered to 1.5 minutes per unit. Will this investment be good for us?
Currently, you sell 1,000 units of product A per month at a price of $40 per unit. The variable costs are: direct materials $10/unit, direct labor $4/unit, and variable overhead $2/unit. Fixed costs are unknown. You are planning to increase the price to $50 per unit. You expect sales volume to decrease by 20% (from the original level of 1,000 units per month) after this price increase. How much will the profit change in the short term if you increase the price? increase by $7,200 increase by $3,200 no change decrease by $2,800 decrease by $800
Graham Company wants to reduce activity costs by $0.30 per unit. The setup activity for a batch of 100 units of Part RR110 currently costs $80 per setup. A process engineer proposes reengineering the setup activity so that it takes 60% of the original cost per setup. By how much will this reduce activity costs per unit? Will more cost savings need to be found?
