3.How much of your own and your roommate's valuable time will it take to fill each order?

Based upon the table in question number 1’s answer, we see a breakdown of duties between Kristen and her roommate. From start-to-finish of the process, Kristen spends 7-8 minutes working and her roommate spends 6-7 minutes as the oven does the actual baking stage. There is a range of 1 min as either person could be the one accepting customer payment.

4.For Kristen's Cookies, develop a Gantt chart of the activities and the resources (Kristen, Roommate, and Oven). Determine the amount of idle time Kristen and Roommate has for each dozen cookies produced. What is the time for Kristen and Roommate if the orders are for two-dozen cookies (of the same type) or three-dozen?

Because the bottle neck occurs at the baking stage and there is only enough room for one dozen cookies in the oven, we could expect that it will take 33 minutes to provide 2 orders of cookies and 43 minutes to provide 3 orders of cookies. For only one order there is Kristen has 16 mins of idle time and the roommate has 16 mins of idle time. Kristen has 22 mins of idle time and the roommate has 19 minutes of idle time for 2 orders. Kristen has 28 mins of idle time and her roommate has 23 minutes of idle time for three orders.

5.If the cost of the dough used for cookies is $1, the wages that Kristen and Roommate make is $12 per hour, and the overhead rate is 100% of direct labor, what is the cost of one dozen cookies?

Cost of dough (CD): $1/dozen

Cost of Packaging (CP): $0.10/dozen

Wages (W): $12/hr./worker

Shift Length (SL): 23 mins (0.383 hrs.)

Overhead (O): 100% of labor

Total Cost = (W x SL x 2) + CD + CP + O

= (12 x 0.383 x 2) + 1 + 0.10 + (12 x 0.383 x 2)

Total Cost = $19.48

MFP= 12 / (W x SL x 2) + CD + CP + O

= 12 / (12 x 0.383 x 2) + 1 + 0.10 + (12 x 0.383 x 2)

= 12 / 9.19 + 1 + 0.10 + 9.19

= 12 / 19.48

MFP= 0.616 donuts/ $ spent
