The Pacific Boat Company, which is under contract to the U.S. Navy, assembles troop deployment boats. As part of its research program, it completes the assembly of the first of a new model (PT109) of deployment boats. The Navy is impressed with the PT109. It requests that Pacific Boat submit a proposat on the cost of producing another six PT109, Pacific Boat reports the following cost information for the first PT109 assembled and uses a 90% cumulative average-time leaming model as a basis for forecasting direct manufacturing labor hours for the next six PT109. (A 90% learning curve means b-0.152004) Click the icon to view the cost information) Read the couture Requirement 1. Calculato predicted total costs of producing the six PT109s for the Navy (Pacific Boat will keep the first deployment boat assembled, costed at $1,457,400, as a demonstration model for potential customers) Begin by determining the hours used to produce the six PT109s for the Navy (Round your answers to the nearest whole nurber) The total cumulative time in labor hours for seven PT109s is hours; therefore, the total time to produce sa PT1095 is hours Data table Direct materials cost $ 202,000 per PT109 Direct manufacturing labor time for first boat 15,700 direct manufacturing labor-hours Learning curve for manufacturing labor time per boat 90% cumulative average time! Direct manufacturing labor costs $ 37 per direct manufacturing labor-hour Variable manufacturing overhead costs $ 25 per direct manufacturing labor-hour Other manufacturing overhead 25% of direct manufacturing labor costs Tooling costs $ 282,000 In 0.90 - 0.105361 Using the formula for a 90% learning curve, b = = -0.152004 In 2 0.693147 2 Tooling can be reused at no extra cost because all of its cost has been assioned to the first deployment boat. 1 - Requirements 1. Calculate predicted total costs of producing the six PT109s for the Navy. (Pacific Boat will keep the first deployment boat assembled, costed at $1,457,400, as a demonstration model for potential customers.) 2. What is the dollar amount of the difference between (a) the predicted total costs for producing the six PT109s in requirement 1, and (b) the predicted total costs for producing the six PT109s, assuming that there is no learning curve for direct manufacturing labor? That is, for (b) assume a linear function for units produced and direct manufacturing labor-hours
