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?
a.$0.53; no
b.$0.32; no
c.$0.48; no
d.$0.22; yes
Setup cost per unit = 80/100
= 0.80
When re-engineered, this 0.80 will reduce by 60%
= 0.80 - (0.80*60%)
= 0.32

Gordon Company produces custom-made machine parts. A setup activity is required for the batches of parts that it produces. Activity output is measured using setup hours. The value-added standard (SQ) for this activity is zero. On July 1, at the beginning of the fiscal year, 15 setup hours were allowed and used per batch. The standard wage rate for setup labor is $24 per setup hour. During the first quarter of the new fiscal year, the company is planning to...

Costs associated with the manufacture of miniature high-sensitivity piezoresistive pressure transducers is $76,000 per year. A clever industrial engineer found that by spending $20,000 now to reconfigure the production line and reprogram two of the robotic arms, the cost will go down to $51,000 next year and $50,000 in years 2 through 5. Using an interest rate of 13% per year, determine the present worth of the savings due to the reconfiguration. The present worth of the savings is determined...
