    The incremental time for 8th unit was 3.04 hours, you multiple this by 15 llabor cost and add 230 of material cost then

    Was it precisely 70% and if yes could you please share calculations?
    I got 68,6%.

    Actual time for 1st – 12,5
    Total for 8 – 34,3
    Average for 1 =4,2875
    For 2 average time = 8,575
    L rate = 8,575/12,5 = 68,6%. Compared 1st with 2nd as they are next to each other (doubling rule exist).
    Probably i am wrong but this seemed reasonable and good enough under the pressure in exam. 🙂

    Strategic planning is external focus. D & b we’re correct as $24 per hour and $5.25 respectively. Do not employ manager as 1309 loss. TPAR were 1.4 and 1.6.most seem to have forgotten that total time available was 2400 x 3 stylists = 7200 hours. Not 2400 hrs which gives less than 1 for ratio.

    Think I got 9455.
    No fixed should have been apportioned as they were not incremental therefore regardless of the project would have been included

    1300 loss – typo. Previous poster was correct on relevant costing I last point. Only overtime of supervisor was relevant. One of the mats needed 30 kilos of new price ($8.50) and 20 of current as in continued use ($8.20 x 20) from memory.

    Sure, mate))) 12.5 hours for first unit, then this is the average time as well. As you tightly stated, average time for 8 units is 4.2875. Then, 4.2875 = 12.5 multiplied by r in powevof 3, then you just find r

    Got the D and B like yourself, however didn’t catch the 3 stylists bit for some reason, quite annoying!
    Will I lose only one mark if everything else was right?

    Mate, in this case 20 is irrelevant, as there is no use for it in general. But 30, as you rightly stated, should be purchased additionally at 8.50

    Nah, only a couple at most. Also James, I think you took off $8 as
    Mats for throughput on both services. The cuts only had mats of $0.40 and other one had $0.40 + $7.60.

    20 is relevant as in constant use. Therefore needs replacing and is relevant cost.

    Senior stylist was the only bottleneck resource, so that you do not multipy by three, i think you just missed this point

    material price is always relevant. either as cost, or as saving.

    Gvt. You’re wide of mark mucker. You wanna take Pepsi challenge on highest pass mark? Tpar covers total time available on scarce resource. Are 3 stylists not the the bottleneck and therefore 3 x 2400 hrs?

    Again, mate, check the book please, if there is no further use for material and it cant be resold, then its relevant cost is zero. As for our question, you just use these for the order. If i were wrong, i would not have been able ti calculate cost of 9455, as many others got

    From memory they were to be used on a product in 4
    Weeks time and therefore would need replacing and therefore all relevant. Cost per hour = all costs except materials/TOTAL time on bottleneck. 3 x stylists at 2400 hours each = 7200 hours. You think an acca paper is gonna how both TPAR lower than 1 when never before…..
