Answer:
Total working minutes available = { Number of employees × Number of weeks × Number of hours × Number of minutes per hour × (1–10%) }
Total working minutes available = ( 23 × 50 × 40 × 60 × 0.90 )
=2,484,000
Total actual minutes used = Taking orders + Picking orders + Packaging order
Total actual minutes used = (29000 × 18 minutes) + ( 34000 × 22 minutes) + (29300 × 36 minutes)
Total actual minutes used = 522,000 + 748,000 + 1,054,800
=2,324,800
a. Computation of Cost per minutes for Activities in distribution.
Cost per minute = Total cost of distribution ÷ Total working minutes available ( as shown above )
Cost per minute = $840,000 ÷ $2,484,000 = $ 0.34
b.Computation of cost of an order that requires all three Activities:
Total Cost of an Order = (Taking order + picking order + Packaging order)× cost per minute
Total Cost = (18+ 22+ 36) × $0.34
Total cost = $25.84
c. Computation of minutes of unused capacity:
Total minutes of unused capacity = Total Available minutes - Total Used minutes
Total minutes of unused capacity = 2,484,000 – 2,324,800
Total unused minutes = 159,200 minutes
d. Computation of Cost of the unused capacity in distribution.
Cost of unused capacity = Total minutes of unused capacity × cost per minute
Cost of unused capacity = 159,200 minutes × $0.34
Cost of unused capacity= $54,128
