From Dec 2007 Paper
Production
• Division Q owns 5 machines, all of which are depreciated at a cost of £200,000 per month.
• Each machine can operate for a maximum of two 7.5 hour shifts a day for 20 days a month.
• Each machine can produce 120,000 games per month when operating at full capacity.
• Each game requires the same time in production.
• Other fixed production overheads are £40,000 per month per machine.
• Fixed production overheads are absorbed on the basis of budgeted machine hours.
Labour
• Each machine requires 5 operators who each cost £20 per hour. Operators work a flexible hours
system which means they are paid only for the number of hours required in production, which is the
same as the machine hours.
• Each month has 20 working days.
TASK 1.1 C number of games produced
(a) per machine hours
Each MACHINE is working at 15 hours (2 shifts @ 7.5 hrs) per day
there are 20 days in a month
therefore monthly machine hours = 15 x 20 = 300 hours per machine
Each Machine produces 120,000 games per month (3rd bullet point)
therefore for every machine hour (120,000 / 300=) 400 games can be produced.
(b) Each machine requires 5 operators
machine runs for 15 hrs therefore labour hrs = 15 x 5 = 75 hrs per day
there are 20 days in a month
therefore monthly labour hours = 20 x 75 = 1500 hours
Each Machine produces 120,000 games per month (3rd bullet point)
therefore (120,000 / 1500=) 80 games produced per Labour Hour
TASK 1.1 D Fixed production overheads
Depreciation costs ( 5 machines x £200,000 each ) = £1,000,000
Other production overheads (5 machinesx £40,000) = £ 200,000
Total Fixed production overheads = £1,200,000
