Q11) Product A - TIme required For 1000 units
NO.of batches= 1000/20 = 50
Process time = 3.2 hr * 1000 units= 3200 hrs
Setup time= 10hr * 50 batches= 500 hrs
Total time for Product A= 3200+500= 3700 hrs
Time required for prduct B (4000 units):
NO.of batches= 4000/10 = 400
Process time = 4.5 hr * 4000 units= 18000 hrs
Setup time= 20hr * 400 batches= 8000 hrs
Total time for Product A= 18000+8000= 26000 hrs
Total time required for Product A and B = 3700hr+ 26000hrs=29700 HRS
Hence the Ans. is option B.
Q12.
Days of working250
Hours of working in a day 8hrs* 2 shifts= 16 hrs.
Total working hours in a year= 250* 16= 4000 hrs..
Hence the ans. is option C.
Q13 . no. of Mark1 machines required are:
As ans. in Q11. The total required time for producing the total ouput is 29700 hrs.
A mark1 machine can function for 4000 hrs in a year ( ref. Q12)
So no. of machines required are = 29700/4000 = 7.4 ( approx. 8 machines)
Hence the ans. is option C .
