Lead Time
Sound Tek Inc. manufactures electronic stereo equipment. The manufacturing process includes printed circuit (PC) board assembly, final assembly, testing, and shipping. In the PC board assembly operation, a number of individuals are responsible for assembling electronic components into printed circuit boards. Each operator is responsible for soldering components according to a given set of instructions. Operators work on batches of 50 printed circuit boards. Each board requires 4 minutes of board assembly time. After each batch is completed, the operator moves the assembled boards to the final assembly area. This move takes 10 minutes to complete.
The final assembly for each stereo unit requires 20 minutes and is also done in batches of 50 units. A batch of 50 stereos is moved into the test building, which is across the street. The move takes 20 minutes. Before conducting the test, the test equipment must be set up for the particular stereo model. The test setup requires 30 minutes. The units wait while the setup is performed. In the final test, the 50-unit batch is tested one at a time. Each test requires 9 minutes. The completed batch, after all testing, is sent to shipping for packaging and final shipment to customers. A complete batch of 50 units is sent from testing to shipping. The Shipping Department is located next to testing. Thus, there is no move time between these two operations. Packaging and labeling requires 9 minutes per unit.
Determine the amount of value-added and non-value-added lead time and the value-added ratio in this process for an average stereo unit in a batch of 50 units. Categorize the non-value-added time into wait and move time. Round the percentage to one decimal place.

In the Forming Department, the concrete is poured into silicone molds where it is allowed to cure and set. Once set, the birdbaths are removed from the mold and sent to the Finishing Department where any imperfections are removed and the birdbaths are sprayed with a special sealant. Information for the Forming Department for the month of May is provided below. Assume that Concrete Creations uses the weighted-average method for cost allocation. Calculate the total cost of ending work in process inventory as well as total cost of units transferred out for May.arrow_forward

- Carson Paint Company, which manufactures quality paint to sell at premium prices, uses a single production department. Production begins by blending the various chemicals that are added at the beginning of the process and ends by filling the paint cans. The gallon cans are then transferred to the shipping department for crating and shipment. Direct labor and overhead are added continuously throughout the process. Factory overhead is applied at the rate of $3 per direct labor dollar. The company combines direct labor and overhead in computing product cost. Prior to May, when a change in the manufacturing process was implemented, Work - in - Process Inventories were insignificant. The changed manufacturing process, which has resulted in increased equipment capacity, allows increased production but also results in considerable amounts of Work-in - Process Inventory.
