- Assume that at the beginning of 20x2, Cicleta trained the 2 assembly workers in a new approach that had the objective of increasing the efficiency of the assembly process. Cicleta also began moving toward a JIT purchasing and manufacturing system. When JIT is fully implemented, the demand for expediting is expected to be virtually eliminated. It is expected to take two to three years for full implementation. Assume that receiving cost is a step-fixed cost with steps of 1,500 orders. The other three activities employ resources that are acquired as used and needed. At the end of 20x2, the following results were reported for the four activities: Required: 1. Prepare a trend report that shows the non-value-added costs for each activity for 20x1 and 20x2 and the change in costs for the two periods. Discuss the reports implications. 2. Explain the role of activity reduction for receiving and for expediting. What is the expected value of SQ for each activity after JIT is fully implemented? 3. What if at the end of 20x2, the selling price of a competing product is reduced by 27 per unit? Assume that the firm produces and sells 20,000 units of its product and that its product is associated only with the four activities being considered. By virtue of the waste-reduction savings, can the competitors price reduction be matched without reducing the unit profit margin of the product that prevailed at the beginning of the year? If not, how much more waste reduction is needed to achieve this outcome? In this case, what price decision would you recommend?arrow_forwardHarriman Industries manufactures engines for the aerospace industry.

- Sample Exercise opens EA2. Rene is working with the operations manager to determine what the standard labor cost is for a spice chest. He has watched the process from start to finish and taken detailed notes on what each employee does. The first employee selects and mills the wood, so it is smooth on all four sides. This takes the employee 1 hour for each chest. The next employee takes the wood and cuts it to the proper size. This takes 30 minutes. The next employee assembles and sands the chest. Assembly takes 2 hours. The chest then goes to the finishing department. It takes 1.5 hours to finish the chest. All employees are cross-trained so they are all paid the same amount per hour, $17.50. A. What are the standard hours per chest? B. What is the standard cost per chest for labor?arrow_forwardUse the following information to answer the next 2 questions: Henry Incorporated manufactures a high volume of identical flashlights called the Illumin-8.

The beginning inventory was 60% complete with respect to conversion, and ending inventory was 90% complete with respect to conversion. 4. What is Henry's equivalent units for materials in August using the weighted average method? a. 84, 000. b. 90,000. c. 108, 000. d. 66,000. 5.

Bear Co has developed a new model of television. The estimated labour time for the first unit is 12 hours but a learning curve of 75% is expected to apply for the first eight units produced Note: The learning index for a 75% learning curve is-0-415. Overhead production costs must be estimated based on a previous model, the Leonardo, that was made by Bear Co. Production quantities and total overhead costs for the last four months of production of the Leonardo were as follows: Month Output Total overhead cost (units) $ September 1,800 278,200 October 2,000 310,000 November 1,700 252,900 December 1,000 200,000 The first phase of production has now been completed for the new television.
