A given machining operation is being performed and managements wants to know the cost for performing the work. The information you’ve collected shows the following: Machining Time = 7.680 min., Part Handling Time = 2.650 min., and the Tool Change Time = 15.535 min. The tool requires changing every 585 work pieces and the cost of the cutting tool is $100.75 per tool. The hourly rate for performing the machining and handling within the operation is $118.84 per hour. Determine the total cost required to perform the operation per part.

Expert Solution

Given:

machining time=7.68 min  

Part handling time=2.65 min

tool changing time=15.535min , hourly rate for perform operation =118.84$/hr

since cost of changing tool is not given, assuming cost of changing tool=118.84$/hr

so cost of performing machining and handling operation per part = (7.68+2.65)*118.84/60

=20.46 $

cost of changing tool per part= tool changing time*cost of tool changing/60/total workpieces requiring tool change

=15.535*118.84/60/585

= 0.0526$

cost of cutting tool per part= cost of cutting tool/total workpieces

= 100.75/585

= 0.1722 $

Total Cost=cost of cutting tool per part + cost of changing tool per part +  cost of performing machining and handling operation per part

= 0.1722+ 0.0526+20.46

= 20.684$

total cost per part= 20.684 $

let's say the Pentagon wants to know what the cost of the War in Iraq has been. It then wants to compare that to the cost of the War in Vietnam.

Suppose a given market is served by a monopoly with constant marginal cost, c. We know that 1st degree price discrimination increases total surplus compared to the outcome where the monopoly charges a single price, pm. One of the criticisms of this result is that price discrimination can be costly to the monopoly, e.g., because it must gather information on willingness-to-pay. Suppose the marginal cost with price discrimination rises to c' > c. Explain with words and a diagram whether...
