1. The AHASI Company produces various types of fans. In May, the company
produced 1,728 window fans at a standard price of P400.00. The company has 12
direct labor employees. During May, window fans were produced on 9 working days
(of 8 hours each), and other products were produced on other days. Determine the
labor productivity of the window fans.

Window fans = 1728


Standard price = 400php
Direct labor employees = 12
Working days = 9
Working hours = 8
=1728/12*9*8 = 2

2. The Company (see 1) also produces desk fans at a standard price of P250.00. During
May, 1,872 desk fans were produced on 11 working days (of 8 hours each). On one
day, two employees called in sick.
a. Determine the labor productivity of the desk fans.
P = Productivity
F = Number of desk fans = 1,872
H = Number of direct labor hours = 8 hours per day
E1 = Number of employees = 12; E2= Number of employees = 12 - 2 = 10
D1= Number of days = 11 - 1 = 10 D2= Number of days = 1a.
Answer and Solutions:

1872/ (12 * 10 * 8) + (10 * 1 * 8) = 1.8

b. Was productivity higher for the window fans or for the desk fans in May?
Ans. The productivity of the window fans is higher.

3. The data below consist of the closing price of the common stock of the Pilipinas
Telephone and Telegraph Corporation on 10 recent trading days.
Time(t) Price Time(t) Price
1 24.10 6 22.73
2 23.80 7 22.60
3 23.39 8 21.76

4. A product is manufactured in distinct batches of various sizes. The cost accountant


wished to obtain an equation to use for estimating the cost of a batch. He obtained
data on a number of batches, consisting of the size of the batch, measured in number
of pieces, and the total cost of the batch, consisting of the setup cost and the variable
costs of labor, material, etc. Costs are stated in thousands of pesos.
Size of Cost of
Batch Batch
20 1.4
30 3.4
40 4.1
50 3.8
70 6.7
80 6.6
100 7.8
120 10.4
150 11.7

Create the regression model and interpret the results.

5. The Goode and Cooke Company produces several models of frying pans. There is
little difference in the production time required for the various models; the plant is
designed to produce 160 frying pans per eight-hour shift, and there are two shifts per
working day. However, the plant does not operate for the full eight hours: the
employees take two 12-minute breaks in each shift, one in the first four hours and one
in the second four hours; two hours per week are devoted to cleaning the factory and
performing maintenance on the machines; one four-hour period every four weeks is
devoted to the meeting of the quality circle. The plant usually produces about 3,500
frying pans per four-week period. You may ignore holidays in solving this problem.
Answer the following questions by adjusting the data to a four-week time period.
a. What is the design capacity in frying pans?
b. What is the effective capacity in frying pans?
c. What is the actual output?
d. What is the efficiency?
e. What is the utilization?

Answers:
a. Design capacity = 160 frying pans x 2 shifts x 20 working days = 6,400 frying pans
per four weeks.
b. Effective capacity percent = (100) (5840)/6400 = 91.25%
c. Actual output = 3,500 frying pans.
d. Efficiency = Actual output/Effective Capacity = (100) (3500)/5840 = 59.93%.
e. Utilization = Actual output/Design capacity = (100) (3500)/6400 = 54.69%.
6. Create a QFD of any chosen company (preferably the one you belong with), using this,
formulate strategies (minimum of 3) that would help the company to excel on the industry
they are part of.
