A machine cell uses 207 pounds of a certain material each day.
Material is transported in vats that hold 37 pounds each. Cycle
time for the vats is about 3.00 hours. The manager has assigned an
inefficiency factor of .20 to the cell. The plant operates on an
eight-hour day.
How many vats will be used? (Round up your answer to the
next whole number.)
Number of vats
D = 207 pounds per day
C = 37 pounds per vat
X = .2
T = 3/8 days
So,
Number of vats = 207*(3/8)*(1+.2)/37
Number of vats = 2.52 or 3 vats
So, 3 number of vats will be used.

A company manufactures a product using machine cells. Each cell has a design capacity of 250 units per day and an effective capacity of 230 units per day. At present, actual output averages 200 units per cell, but the manager estimates that productivity improvements soon will increase output to 224 units per day. Annual demand is currently 60,000 units. It is forecasted that within two years, annual demand will triple. How many cells should the company plan to acquire to...
Problem 5-9 A company manufactures a product using two machine cells. Each cell has a design capacity of 250 units per day and an effective capacity of 230 units per day. At present, actual output averages 200 units per cell, but the manager estimates that productivity improvements soon will increase output to 222 units per day. Annual demand is currently 60,000 units. It is forecasted that within two years, annual demand will triple. How many cells should the company plan...
A manager is trying to decide whether to buy one machine or two. If only one machine is purchased and demand proves to be excessive, the second machine can be purchased later. Some sales would be lost, however, because the lead time for delivery of this type of machine is six months. In addition, the cost per machine will be lower if both machines are purchased at the same time. The probability of low demand is estimated to be 0.20...

Wallis Company manufactures only one product and uses a standard cost system. The company uses a predetermined plantwide overhead rate that relies on direct labor-hours as the allocation base. All of the company's manufacturing overhead costs are fixed-it does not incur any variable manufacturing overhead costs. The predetermined overhead rate is based on a cost formula that estimated $2,884,000 of fixed manufacturing overhead for an estimated allocation base of 288,400 direct labor-hours. Wallis does not maintain any beginning or ending...
