Project Management Practice ProblemBragg’s Bakery is building a new automated bakery downtown Sandusky. Here are the activities that need to be completed to get the new bakery built and the equipment installed.
ACTIVITYPREDECESSORNORMAL TIME (WEEK)CRASH TIME (WEEK)EXPEDITING COST/WEEKA-963000BA853500CA15104000DB,C532000EC1062500FD,E215000
Hint: I have directly provided the crashing cost per unit time.
a. What is the normal project length?
b. What is the critical path in this project?
c. Which activity will you choose to crash first to reduce the duration of the project by one week?
d. What is the project length if all activities are crashed to their minimum?
e. What is the slack for activity D?
Answer:
a. The normal project length is 36 weeks.
b. The critical path in this project is A-C-E-F.
c. The activity that you choose to crash first to reduce the duration of the project by one week is E because it has the least expediting cost/week amongst A, C, E, F.
d. The project length if all activities are crashed to their minimum is 23 weeks.
e. The slack for activity D is 5 weeks.
Explanation:
a) The normal length of the project = completion time of last activity = 36 weeks.
b) The criteria for critical activity:
[tex]LC_{i} = ES_{i} ,\\LC_{j} = ES_{j} ,\\[/tex]
[tex]ES_j - ES_i = LF_j - LF_{i} =[/tex] duration of the activity
where ES = Earliest start time, EF = Earliest finish time , LC = latest completion time, LF = latest finish time ,
The suffix- i refers to the preceding node, suffix-j refers to the succeeding node.
activities satisfying above all criteria are A, C, E, F
therefore critical path is A-C-E-F.
c) To reduce the project duration by 1 week. we should choose to crash among critical activities A, C, E, F. thus we choose to crash activity E because it has the least expediting cost/week amongst A, C, E, F.
d) if we crash all the activities to their minimum, then the project length = sum of crash time of all critical activities
= [6 + 10 + 6 + 1]
= 23 weeks.
e) The slack of activity d = LS - ES = 34 - 29
= 5 weeks
The critical path is given in the diagram,
Summer 20 Corp estimates overhead based on direct labor hours and has given you the following information:
Estimated Manufacturing Overhead Costs 2020 $405,000
Estimated Direct Labor Hours for 2020 220,000
Actual Direct Labor Hours for 2020 202,000
Manufacturing Overhead Account Debit Entries total $380,000
1. Determine the predetermined overhead allocation rate stated with cents.
2. Determine the amount of manufacturing overhead that was allocated.
3. Calculate the amount Summer 20 Corp is over or under allocated during the year.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
To calculate the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 405,000 / 220,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $1.841 per DLH
Now, we can allocate overhead:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Allocated MOH= 1.841*202,000
Allocated MOH= $371,882
Finally, the over/under allocation:
Under/over applied overhead= real overhead - allocated overhead
Under/over applied overhead= 380,000 - 371,882
Underapplied overhead= $8,118
Output from a process contains 0.02 defective units. Defective units that go undetected into final assemblies cost $25 each to replace. An inspection process, which would detect and remove all defectives, can be established to test these units. However, the inspector, who van test 20 units per hour, is paid $8 per hour, including fringe benefits. Should an inspection station be established to test all units
Answer: Inspection station should be established.
Explanation:
Cost to company if defect is not detected:
= Cost to replace * percentage defects * number of units tested per hour
= 25 * 0.02 * 20 units
= $10 per hour
Inspector is paid $8 per hour.
The fees to the inspector are less than the cost of replacement so the Inspection station should be established as it saves costs.

A company is planning to purchase a machine that will cost $57,000 with a six-year life and no salvage value. The company expects to sell the machine's output of 3,000 units evenly throughout each year. A projected income statement for each year of the asset's life appears below. What is the payback period for this machine?
Sales $138,000
Costs:
Manufacturing $68,000
Depreciation on machine 9,500
Selling and administrative expenses 46,000 (123,500)
Income before taxes $14,500
Income tax (35%) 5,075
Net income $9,425
a. 6.00 years.
b. 1.99 year.
c. 6.05 years.
d. 12.10 years.
e. 3.01 years.
Answer:
e. 3.01 years
Explanation:
Cost of Asset = $57,000
Net annual cash Inflow = Net Income after Tax + Depreciation
Net annual cash Inflow = $9,425 + $9,500
Net annual cash Inflow = $18,925
Payback Period = Cost of Asset (Investment) / Net annual cash Inflow
Payback Period = $57,000 / $18,925
Payback Period = 3.01188904
Payback Period = 3.01 years
The cost of direct materials transferred into the Rolling Department of Kraus Company is $3,000,000. The conversion cost for the period in the Rolling Department is $462,600. The total equivalent units for direct materials and conversion are 4,000 tons and 3,855 tons respectively. Determine the direct materials and conversion costs per equivalent unit.
Answer:
the direct material & conversion cost per equivalent unit is $750 per ton and $120 per ton
Explanation:
The calculation of the direct material & conversion cost per equivalent unit is given below:
Direct materials per equivalent unit is
= $3,000,000 ÷ 4,000 tons
= $750 per ton
And,
Conversion costs per equivalent unit is
= $462,600 ÷ 3,855 tons
= $120 per ton
Hence, the direct material & conversion cost per equivalent unit is $750 per ton and $120 per ton
Given D: Annual use of a particular item, in number of items per year Q: Number of items ordered in one purchase order, in units SS: Safety stock, in units L: Lead time, in fraction of a year I: Current inventory on hand, units Reorder point can be expressed as ______ (x below denotes the multiplication sign).
Answer:
D×L + SS
Explanation:
The reorder point (ROP) is the inventories or stock level for a certain product that, when attained, initiates the reordering of more inventories. The lead time it will take to refill inventories is taken in when computing the reorder points for different stock holding units. This ensures inventory levels do not approach zero.
Computing reorder points necessitates a thorough understanding of purchase habits over a specific time period. The more ROP you compute for each product, the better you'll be able to anticipate future demand and guarantee you're using the reorder quantity calculation appropriately.
From the given information in the question:
The reorder point can be determined by using the formula:
Reorder point = Demand (D) at the point of leas time (L) with the addition of safety stock (SS)
Reorder point = D×L + SS
Ortega Company manufactures computer hard drives. The market for hard drives is very competitive. The current market price for a computer hard drive is $54. Ortega would like a profit of $14 per drive. What target cost Ortega should set to accomplish this objective
Answer:
$40
Explanation:
Target cost is the cost per unit arrived at after having deducted the required profit margin from the competitive market price.
It is a management technique that makes management think about ways to achieve a set target cost rather than forcing their actual cost plus profit margin on customers.
In this case, the competitive market price is $54 per unit of hard drive whereas the company expects to achieve a total profit of $14 per unit
Profit margin per unit=$14
competitive market price=$54
Target cost=competitive market price-profit margin per unit
Target cost=$54-$14
Target cost=$40
The demand rate for raw material A is normally distributed with an average of 300 pints per day. The standard deviation of daily demand is 15 pints. If the lead time for this material is 4 days, what is the standard deviation of demand during the 4-day lead time
Answer:
the standard deviation of demand during the 4-day lead time is 30
Explanation:
the computation of the standard deviation of demand during the 4-day lead time is given below;
= Sqrt(Lead time) × Std deviation daily demand
= Sqrt(4) × 15
=2 × 15
= 30
Hence, the standard deviation of demand during the 4-day lead time is 30

If the price of product L increases, then how will the demand curve for the close-substitute product J shift? If X is a normal good, will an increase in money income shift the supply or demand curve and in which direction?
Answer:
demand curve for product J would shift rightwards or outwards
If X is a normal good, an increase in income would shift the demand curve rightwards or outwards
Explanation:
Substitute goods are goods that can be used in place of another good.
If the price of product L increases, the quantity demanded of product L declines. this is line with the law of demand
According to the law of demand, the higher the price, the lower the quantity demanded and the lower the price, the higher the quantity demanded.
Consumers would then shift to the consumption of the close substitute. As a result, there would be an increase in the demand for product J. This would lead to a rightward or outward shift of the demand curve for product J
Normal goods are goods that are goods whose demand increases when income increases and falls when income falls
Since X is a normal good, when income increases, the demand for good X increases. this would shift the demand curve outward

Five individuals organized Miami Music Corporation on January 1. At the end of January 31, the following monthly financial data are available:
Total Revenues…………………………....... $131,000
Operating Expenses………………………… 90,500
Cash…………………………………………...........30,800
Accounts Receivable……………………… .25,300
Supplies……………………………………..........40,700
Accounts Payable…………………………... 25,700
Common Stock………………………………...30,600
Required:
a. Did Miami Music Corporation generate a profit? Which financial statement indicates this?
c. Does Miami Music Corporation have sufficient resources to pay its liabilities? Which financial statement indicates this?
Answer:
a. Profit(loss) = Total revenue - Total expenses
= 131,000 - 90,500
= $41,000
The company did in fact generate profit of $41,000 and this can be shown from the Income Statement which is where profit or loss is calculated.
b. A company uses its assets to pay off its liabilities so if the liabilities are less than the assets then the company is capable of paying off its liabilities:
Assets = Cash + Accounts Receivable + Supplies
= 30,800 + 25,300 + 40,700
= $96,800
Liabilities are just the Accounts Payable of $25,700.
Liabilities are less than Assets so Miami Music does indeed have sufficient resources to pay its liabilities.
This information comes from the Balance Sheet which is where assets and liabilities are shown.
Diamond Boot Factory normally sells its specialty boots for $22 a pair. An offer to buy 100 boots for $15 per pair was made by an organization hosting a national event in Norfolk. The variable cost per boot is $9, and special stitching will add another $1 per pair to the cost.
Determine the differential income or loss per pair of boots from selling to the organization.
Answer: $5.00
Explanation:
Differential income per pair is:
= Revenue per pair - Total cost per pair
= Selling price of pair - (Variable cost + Additional stitching cost)
= 15 - (9 + 1)
= 15 - 10
= $5.00
Steven Washington's weekly gross earnings for the week ending March 9 were $3,340, and her federal income tax withholding was $567.80. Assuming the social security tax rate is 6% and Medicare tax is 1.5% of all earnings, what is Washington's net pay?
Answer:
Washington's net pay was $ 2,564.28.
Explanation:
Given that Steven Washington's weekly gross earnings for the week ending March 9 were $ 3,340, and her federal income tax withholding was $ 567.80, assuming the social security tax rate is 6% and Medicare tax is 1.5% of all earnings, to determine what is Washington's net pay the following calculation must be performed:
(3,340 - 567.80) x (1 - 0.06 - 0.015) = X
2,772.2 x 0.925 = X
2,564.28 = X
Therefore, Washington's net pay was $ 2,564.28.

Benny is the manager of an office-support business that supplies copying, binding, and other services for local companies. He must replace a worn-out copy machine that is used for black-and-white copying. He is considering two machines, and each of these has a monthly lease cost plus a cost for each page that is copied. Machine 1 has a monthly lease cost of $619, and there is a cost of $0.030 per page copied. Machine 2 has a monthly lease cost of $675, and there is a cost of $0.028 per page copied. Customers are charged $.16 per page copied. If Benny expects to make 105,000 copies per month, what would be the monthly cost for each machine
Answer:
Machine one cost:
= Fixed cost + Variable cost
The Fixed cost is the lease cost and the variable cost is the cost per page copied. The number of pages is 105,000 and the cost per page for machine 1 is $0.030
= 619 + (0.030 * 105,000)
= $3,769 monthly
Machine two cost:
= 675 + (0.028 * 105,000)
= $3,615 monthly
