Bronzit company estimated the following at the beginning of the year: assembly department testing department total overhead $700,000 $100,000 $800,000 direct labor hours 150,500 hrs. 40,500 hrs. 191,000 hrs. machine hours 37,000 hrs. 72,000 hrs. 109,000 hrs. bronzit uses departmental overhead rates. in the assembly department, direct labor hours are used to apply overhead. machine hours are used to apply overhead in the testing department. actual data for the month of may is as follows: assembly department testing department total overhead $50,000 $11,000 $61,000 direct labor hours 20,000 hrs. 2,500 hrs. 22,500 hrs. machine hours 3,500 hrs. 14,000 hrs. 17,500 hrs. if bronzit uses a plant wide overhead rate based on direct labor hours, instead of departmental rates, what is the predetermined overhead rate rounded to the nearest cent? a.$4.19 per direct labor hour b.$8.65 per direct labor hour c.$4.50 per direct labor hour d.$0.33 per direct labor hour e.$5 per direct labor hour

Imagine us is a startup that offers high definition 3d prenatal ultrasounds for high-end customers. the service process includes four activities that are conducted in the sequence described below. (the time required for each activity is shown in parentheses): activity 1: welcome a patient and explain the procedure. (20 minutes)activity 2: prep the patient (e.g., show them to the room, apply ultrasound gel). (17 minutes) (*your id number represents the amount of time needed to complete this task)activity 3: take images. (5 minutes)activity 4: discuss diagnostic with patient. (20 minutes)at each location there are employees (servers) s1, s2, and s3. the assignment of tasks to servers is the following: s1 does activities 1 and 2.s2 does activity 3.s3 does activity 4.a. what is the capacity of this process (in customers per hour)? b. suppose 3 patients arrive every hour on average. ignoring any “start of day” or “end of day” effects, what are the utilizations of all three servers (%)? c. suppose each activity can be done by any server and any server can do any set of activities. however, each activity is done by only one server. for example, a possible assignment includes: s1 does activity 1, s2 does activity 2, and s3 does activities 3 and 4. of course, the original assignment of servers to activities is also feasible. what is the maximum capacity of the process (in customers per hour)? d. now consider the capacity measures in (c) and (a), what is the percentage change? why can you improve capacity without using additional resources? (there is no free lunch, right? )note: for all hw assignments, show your process of getting the results. only providing the final answers is not acceptable and will get 0%. if necessary, use a separate sheet of paper to show your work.
