(3 points) c) What is the expected value of the total cost in July? (3points) 21.50 t 315 tzzo fo22.50

Explanation / Answer

a) Total Hours for 3 Cashiers each working for 8 Hours Shift: 3 x 8 = 24 Hours

Order Taken = 360

Labor Productivity= 360 / 24 = 15 Order Per hour

b) Total Payment for one Hour = $10

Labor Productivity in order per Labor Dollar = 15 / 10 = 1.5 Order Per dollar

c) New Labor Productivity = 450 / 24 = 18.75 Order per Labor Hour

d) Growth in Labor Producitvity= 3.75 / 15 = 25%

Problem 2 )

a) BEP = Fixed Cost / Conrtibution Per Unit

July BEP = 90,000 / 125 (175 - 50) = 720 Units

b) Variable Cost Per Unit = $50

Total Variable Cost at High Demand = 1,600 x 50 = $80,000

Add: Fixed Cost = $90,000

Total Cost = $170,000

c) Expected Value of the Total Cost:

Expected Sales = (425 x .30) + (750 x .50) + (1,600 x .20) = 822.50

Total Cost = 822.50 x 50 = $41,125 + 90,000 = $131,125
