Chapter 11, Problem 47P
(Appendix 11A) Cycle Time, Velocity, Conversion Cost
The theoretical cycle time for a product is 30 minutes per unit. The budgeted conversion costs for the manufacturing cell are $2,700,000 per year. The total labor minutes available are 600,000. During the year, the cell was able to produce 1.5 units of the product per hour. Suppose also that production incentives exist to minimize unit product costs.
Required:
- 1. Compute the theoretical conversion cost per unit.
- 2. Compute the applied conversion cost per unit (the amount of conversion cost actually assigned to the product).
- 3. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Discuss how this approach to assigning conversion costs can improve delivery time performance.

In order to meet annual demand for all products, how many machines in each type are needed? Based on fixed annual cost (Alternative A with $40,000, B with $30,000 and C with $80,000), which type of machine and how many will cost least to satisfy the demand? Consider the operation of machines 10 hours per day and 200 days a year.
