Question

The company BAGS FOR ALL OCCASIONS, manufactures Leather and denim bags, each bag takes an hour and a half (1.5) or 90 minutes to manufacture. Three clients come to have the following orders manufactured: YANERIS 50, MARIA ALEJANDRA 30, and MAYLEN 20. The company has one worker who works 240 hours a month; the total for the month was $1,200,000 from the payroll record. The CIF (tax identification number) is applied at a rate of $6,000 per unit. It is requested: 1. Calculation of the unit cost of labor. 2. Calculation of the unit cost of indirect manufacturing cost. (with mathematical procedures each point)

Given

  • Time per bag = 1.51.5 hours (90 minutes).

  • Orders: Yaneris = 50, Maria Alejandra = 30, Maylen = 20. ⇒ Total units = 100.

  • One worker works 240 hours/month.

  • Total payroll for the month = $1,200,000.

  • CIF (indirect manufacturing cost) = $6,000 per unit.


1) Unit cost of labor — step-by-step

Step 1 — hourly wage

Hourly wage=Total payrollHours worked=$1,200,000240 hours=$5,000 per hour.\text{Hourly wage}=\frac{\text{Total payroll}}{\text{Hours worked}}=\frac{\$1,200,000}{240\ \text{hours}}=\$5,000\ \text{per hour}.

Step 2 — direct labor hours per unit

Hours per unit=1.5 hours.\text{Hours per unit}=1.5\ \text{hours}.

Step 3 — direct labor cost per unit

Direct labor cost per unit=Hourly wage×Hours per unit=$5,000×1.5=$7,500.\text{Direct labor cost per unit}=\text{Hourly wage}\times\text{Hours per unit}=\$5,000\times1.5=\$7,500.

Check totals (optional):

  • Total production hours required =100×1.5=150=100\times1.5=150 hours.

  • Direct labor cost consumed by production =$7,500×100=$750,000=\$7,500\times100=\$750,000.

  • Paid but not directly used (idle/other time) =$1,200,000$750,000=$450,000=\$1,200,000-\$750,000=\$450,000.

Alternative common costing convention (allocate entire payroll to produced units):

Unit labor cost (full payroll allocated)=$1,200,000100 units=$12,000 per unit.\text{Unit labor cost (full payroll allocated)}=\frac{\$1,200,000}{100\ \text{units}}=\$12,000\ \text{per unit}.

This $12,000 includes the worker’s paid time not used directly in the 100 produced bags.


2) Unit cost of indirect manufacturing cost (CIF) — step-by-step

The problem states CIF is applied at a rate of $6,000 per unit. Therefore:

  • Unit CIF = $6,000.

  • Total CIF for 100 units = $6,000\times100 = $600,000.


Final answers (clear)

  1. Unit cost of labor (direct, based on hours used to make each bag): $7,500 per unit\boxed{\$7{,}500\ \text{per unit}}.

    (If you allocate the entire payroll to output, unit labor cost = $12,000 per unit\boxed{\$12{,}000\ \text{per unit}}.)

  2. Unit indirect manufacturing cost (CIF): $6,000 per unit\boxed{\$6{,}000\ \text{per unit}}.

    Total CIF for 100 units = $600,000.


Combined cost-per-unit examples

  • Using direct labor + CIF: $7,500+$6,000=$13,500\$7{,}500+\$6{,}000=\$13{,}500 per unit.

  • Using allocated payroll labor + CIF: $12,000+$6,000=$18,000\$12{,}000+\$6{,}000=\$18{,}000 per unit.



Given (recap)

  • Time per bag = 1.5 hours.

  • Orders: 50 + 30 + 20 = 100 units.

  • Worker hours/month = 240 hours.

  • Total payroll (month) = $1.200.000.

  • CIF rate = $6.000 per unit.


Workings (math steps)

  1. Hourly wage:

Hourly wage=$1.200.000240 hours=$5.000 per hour.\text{Hourly wage}=\frac{\$1.200.000}{240\ \text{hours}}=\$5.000\ \text{per hour}.

  1. Direct labor cost per unit (based on 1.5 h/unit):

Direct labor/unit=$5.000×1.5=$7.500.\text{Direct labor/unit}=\$5.000\times1.5=\$7.500.

Total direct labor for 100 units: $7.500×100=$750.000.\$7.500\times100=\$750.000.

  1. If we allocate the entire payroll to output (alternate convention):

Unit labor cost (allocated)=$1.200.000100=$12.000.\text{Unit labor cost (allocated)}=\frac{\$1.200.000}{100}=\$12.000.

  1. CIF (given):

Unit CIF=$6.000,Total CIF=$6.000×100=$600.000.\text{Unit CIF}=\$6.000,\qquad \text{Total CIF}=\$6.000\times100=\$600.000.

Short Spanish summary (resumen en español)

Cálculos principales

  • Salario por hora = $1.200.000 ÷ 240 h = $5.000 /h.

  • Mano de obra directa por unidad = $5.000 × 1,5 h = $7.500 por bolso. (Total mano de obra directa = $750.000.)

  • Alternativa — asignando toda la nómina a la producción: $12.000 por bolso. (Total = $1.200.000.)

  • CIF por unidad = $6.000. (Total CIF = $600.000.)

Costos por unidad

  • Usando mano de obra directa + CIF = $7.500 + $6.000 = $13.500 por bolso.

  • Usando nómina total asignada + CIF = $12.000 + $6.000 = $18.000 por bolso.

Exercise 1 An ejidal association wishes to determine the distribution for the three different crops that it can plant for the next season on its available 900 hectares. Information on the total available and how many resources are required for each hectare of cultivation is shown in the following tables: Total available resource Water 15,000 m3 Fertilizer 5,000 kg Labor 125 day laborers Requirements per cultivated hectare Corn Soybeans Wheat Water 15 25 20 Fertilizer 5 8 7 Labor** 1/8 1/5 1/4 *The data in fraction means that with one day laborer it will be possible to care for 8, 5 and 4 hectares respectively. * Sales of crops 1 and 3, according to information from the Department of Agriculture, are guaranteed and exceed the capacity of the cooperative. However, soybeans must be limited to a maximum of 150 hectares. On the other hand, the profits for each hectare of crop obtained are estimated at: $7,500 for corn, $8,500 for soybeans and $8,000 for wheat. The objectives are to determine: • How many hectares of each crop must be allocated so that the profit is maximum. R= • The estimated profits for the ejidal cooperative in the next growing season. R=
