for two engineers. One is paid $100,000, while the other earns $50,000. The $100,000 engineer spends 40% of his

time training employees in new processes and 60% of his time on improving processes. The remaining engineer

spends equal time on all activities. Supplies are consumed in the following proportions:

Creating BOMs

25%

Studying capabilities

10%

Improving processes

20%

Training employees

25%

Designing tooling

20%

A. What is the cost assigned to the creating BOMs activity?

B. What is the cost assigned to the improving processes activity?

C. What is the cost assigned to the training employees activity?
