Consider two different implementations, M1 and M2, of the same instruction set. There are three classes of instructions (A, B, and C) in the instruction set. M1 has a clock rate of 60MHz and M2 has a clock rate of 80MHz. The average number of cycles of each instruction class and their frequencies (for a typical program) are as follows: Instruction M1-cycles M2-cycles Frequency
Class /instruction class /instruction class
A 1 2 50%
B 2 3 20%
C 3 4 30%
a. Calculate the average CPI for each machine, M1 and M2.
b. Calculate the CPU execution time of M1 and M2.

Nichols inc. manufactures remote controls. currently the company uses a plantminuswide rate for allocating manufacturing overhead. the plant manager is considering switchingminusover to abc costing system and has asked the accounting department to identify the primary production activities and their cost drivers which are as follows: activities cost driver allocation rate material handling number of parts $5 per part assembly labor hours $20 per hour inspection time at inspection station $10 per minute the current traditional cost method allocates overhead based on direct manufacturing labor hours using a rate of $20 per labor hour. what are the indirect manufacturing costs per remote control assuming an method is used and a batch of 10 remote controls are produced? the batch requires 100 parts, 5 direct manufacturing labor hours, and 3 minutes of inspection time.

land, a building and equipment are acquired for a lump sum of $ 1,000,000. the market values of the land, building and equipment are $ 300,000, $ 800,000 and $ 300,000, respectively. what is the cost assigned to the equipment? (do not round any intermediary calculations, and round your final answer to the nearest dollar.)
