Cost Analysis and Deviations in Manufacturing: A Comprehensive Guide

1. Standard Unit Cost Calculation

Product X Cost Breakdown

The standard unit cost of Product X is calculated by dividing the cost of sales by the number of units sold. In this case, the standard unit cost is €34.00 (510,000 / 15,000).

Material (MP) Cost

  • Technical Standard: 7 kg per unit (105,000 kg / 15,000 units)
  • Economic Standard: €2 per kg
  • Standard Unit Cost: €14 per unit (7 kg/unit * €2/kg)
  • MP Budget: €210,000 (15,000 units * €14/unit)

Direct Labor (MOD) Cost

  • Technical Standard: 3 hours per

Statistical Inferences on Means: Confidence Intervals and Hypothesis Tests

1.       One category of lymphoma is non-Hodgkin lymphoma, which is the classification of many different types. Of interest is to estimate m = the mean survival time, in years, of a patient diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma. For this problem only, assume that the standard deviation of the survival times for all patients diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma is 9.2 years. What is the minimum number of non-Hodgkin lymphoma patients that would need to be selected to allow the calculation of a

Little’s Law and Process Capacity

Little’s Law states that the average inventory in a system is equal to the product of the average flow rate and the average flow time:

Average Inventory = Average Flow Rate * Average Flow Time

The capacity of a single resource is calculated as the reciprocal of its activity time:

Capacity of a single resource = 1 / activity time

For resources in parallel, the capacity is the sum of individual capacities:

Capacity of resources in parallel
