Ron Satterfield's excavation company uses both Gantt scheduling charts and Gantt load charts. Today, which is the end of day 7, Ron is reviewing the Gantt chart depicting these schedules: Job # 151 was scheduled to begin on day 3 and to take 6 days. It got started on time and is 1 day ahead of schedule. Job # 177 was scheduled to begin on day 1 and take 6 days. It is currently on time. Job #179 was scheduled to start on day 5 and take 3 days. It actually got started on day 4 and is progressing according to plan. Job # 211 was scheduled to begin on day 4, but missing equipment delayed it until day 5. It is progressing as expected and should take 3 days. Job # 215 was scheduled to begin on day 4 and take 5 days. It got started on time but has since fallen behind 2 days. This exercise contains only part a. a) Add the actual progress to the Gantt schedule shown on the right (on which the planned timings have been already plotted as blue lines). Using the line drawing tool, plot the actual progress showing the actual start and the expected finish on top of (overlapping) the maroon dashed line provided just above the job number for each of the tasks.

Overhead for one month at the Allimore Department store totaled $6000. Find the overhead for each of the departments, based on sales, if the store had the following monthly sales by department: toys, $4000; appliances, $6000; children's clothing, $6900; books, $4800; and furniture, $8000. Enter the overhead values for each department. Department Overhead Toys Appliances $ Children's $ Clothing Books $ Furniture (Do not round until the final answer. Then round to the nearest cent as needed.)

A heavy equipment manufacturing company has produced its first unit using 3500 hours and $300,000 overhead cost. The next unit, i.e. the second unit took 3300 hours. Overhead cost for this unit was $200,000. Suppose the labor was $20 per hour. Being the production manager, you need to decide what would be the total production costs for additional 10 units after the completion of the second unit. Round the final amount to nearest integer. $1,597,832 C$1,003,183 (DNone of the above
Eileen is a hard-working college sophomore. One Sunday, she decides to work nonstop until she has answered 250 practice problems for her math course.

Store Local Shoe Store Different Neighborhood in Town Rural Outlet Travel Time Each Way (Minutes) 15 30 60 Juanita earns an hourly wage of $34 at her job. In order to purchase her boots she will have to take time off work, so each hour away from her job costs her $34 in lost income. Assume that Juanita's travel time is the same each way (to and from the store) and that it will take her 30 minutes once she reaches a store to complete her shopping. Assume throughout the question that Juanita incurs no additional costs other than the boots, such as gas.

8. Engineers sometimes rely on the "0.6 rule," which states that the increase in cost is given by the increase in capacity raised to the 0.6 power; that is, C, = C,(X,/X,)06 where C, and C, are the costs of two pieces of equipment, and X, and X, are their respective capacities. a. Does the 0.6 rule suggest economies of scale? b. Some experts have stated that in the chemical and metal industries, the 0.6 rule can be applied to entire plants rather than individual pieces of equipment. If so, will the long-run average cost curve in these industries tend to be negatively sloped? c. Can you think of a way to test whether this rule is correct?
