Problem 5-1determine the utilization and the efficiency for each of these situations: a. a loan processing operation that processes an average of 4 loans per day. the operation has a design capacity of 11 loans per day and an effective capacity of 9 loans per day. (round your answer to 1 decimal place. omit the "%" sign in your response.) utilization % efficiency % b. a furnace repair team that services an average of 3 furnaces a day if the design capacity is 7 furnaces a day and the effective capacity is 6 furnaces a day. (round your answer to 1 decimal place. omit the "%" sign in your response.) utilization % efficiency % c. would you say that systems that have higher efficiency ratios than other systems will always have higher utilization ratios than those other systems? this is not necessarily (click to select)truefalse. if the design capacity is relatively (click to select)lowhigh, the utilization could be (click to select)highlow even though the efficiency was (click to select)highlow.

Lambert manufacturing has $100,000 to invest in either project a or project b. the following data are available on these projects (ignore income taxes.): project a project b cost of equipment needed now $100,000 $60,000 working capital investment needed now - $40,000 annual cash operating inflows $40,000 $35,000 salvage value of equipment in 6 years $10,000 - both projects will have a useful life of 6 years and the total cost approach to net present value analysis. at the end of 6 years, the working capital investment will be released for use elsewhere. lambert's required rate of return is 14%. the net present value of project b is:

Laval produces lamps and home lighting fixtures. its most popular product is a brushed aluminum desk lamp. this lamp is made from components shaped in the fabricating department and assembled in the assembly department. information related to the 22,000 desk lamps produced annually follows.direct materials $280,000direct labor fabricating department (8,000 dlh × $24 per dlh) $192,000assembly department (16,600 dlh × $26 per dlh) $431,600machine hours fabricating department $15,200mhassembly department $20,850mhexpected overhead cost and related data for the two production departments follow.fabricating assemblydirect labor hours 150,000dlh 295,000dlhmachine hours 161,000mh 128,000mhoverhead cost $400,000 430,000required1. determine the plantwide overhead rate for laval using direct labor hours as a base.2. determine the total manufacturing cost per unit for the aluminum desk lamp using the plantwide overhead rate.3. compute departmental overhead rates based on machine hours in the fabricating department and direct labor hours in the assembly department.4. use departmental overhead rates from requirement 3 to determine the total manufacturing cost per unit for the aluminum desk lamps.

Problem page a medical equipment industry manufactures x-ray machines. the unit cost c (the cost in dollars to make each x-ray machine) depends on the number of machines made. if x machines are made, then the unit cost is given by the function =cx+−0.3x2126x31,935 . how many machines must be made to minimize the unit cost?
