Help with ECR June 2008 paper

debbieh

Can anyone help with Section 2 Task 2.4 Contribution/unit price is £1.03
How do you work out the material hours/unit, and Contribution/machine hour£

I got the answer of 0.20 and £5.15 but how?

Many Thanks

Take machine hours per units made and sold, divide hours into number of units, that gives you no. of hours per uint.

you then take your answer for contirbuion/unit and divide your macine hours into it.

Hi,

I'm stuck on the same section - it may seem really stupid, but how you work out how many machine hours to allocate to each product? I've been staring at it for ages now.....I know the answers are 30,000 for Product A and 40,000 for Product B, but how do you get there?Any help would be really appreciated.

Product..................................A........B
Contribution/unit (£)...............1.03.....0.62
Machine hours/unit...............£0.20.....0.08
Contribution/machine hr. (£)....5.15.....7.75

The above is from the AAT June 08 Model Answer

Shown below is the understanding and workings


Unit A takes 0.2 Machine Hour to make. So many units of Unit A can be made in 1 Machine hour

1 divide by 0.2 = 5 units

Contribution per unit A = 1.03 therefore for 5 unit = 1.03 times 5 = £5.15 per machine hour



Unit B takes 0.08 Machine Hour to make. So many units of Unit B can be made in 1 Machine hour

1 divide by 0.08 = 12.5 units

Contribution per unit A = 0.62 therefore for 12.5 unit = 0.62 times 12.5 = £7.75 per machine hour

Which figure for machine hours from task 2.2, do you divide hours into number of units, to give you machine hours/unit figure to get the answer 0.20

Thanks
