Cycle Time, Conversion Cost per Unit, MCE

Lander Parts, Inc., produces various automobile parts. In one plant, Lander has a manufacturing cell with the theoretical capability to produce 450,000 fuel pumps per quarter. The conversion cost per quarter is $9,000,000. There are 150,000 production hours available within the cell per quarter.

Required:

1. Compute the theoretical velocity (per hour) and the theoretical cycle time (minutes per unit produced).

Theoretical velocity    
Theoretical cycle time    

2. Compute the ideal amount of conversion cost that will be assigned per subassembly.
$___________ per unit

3 (a). Suppose the actual time required to produce a fuel pump is 40 minutes. Compute the amount of conversion cost actually assigned to each unit produced.
$________  per unit

3 (b). What happens to product cost if the time to produce a unit is decreased to 25 minutes?
$__________ per unit

4. Assuming the actual time to produce one fuel pump is 40 minutes, calculate MCE. If required, round your answer to two decimal places.
f____________
