Question

MEDAL even for HELP - If 1,000 units are required per year, which is least costly?

Alternative Resources Required

A Skilled Operator at $25 per hour; 35 minutes per unit of
skilled labor time

B Unskilled operator at $12 per hour plus automated
equipment costing $50,000; 10 minutes of operator time per unit

Answer 1

Where'd you get 35 from?

Answer 2

min/unit

Answer 3

I don't quite get what you mean.

Answer 6

Alternative B at $12/unit

Alternative A at $10.50/unit

I tried 35*1000 = 35000
35000/60 = num
num*25 = 14.583 (or 14.6 per unit)

$14.6/unit is wrong

What am I doing wrong?

Answer 7

$2000+$50,000 for alternative B?

Answer 8

but that doesn't make sense at $52/unit
