9. The initial cost for machine A is Rs.12000 and the unit production
cost of the machine is Rs.6.00 each. For the other machine B, the
TB1 68 8
initial cost is Rs. 48000 and the unit production cost is Rs.1.20 each.
Do the break even analysis.
10. A component can be produced on either a capstan lathe or an
automatic lathe. The different cost factors for the two machines
are given below.
Machine I
Fixed cost = Rs.500
Variable cost = Rs.3 per piece
Machine II May2015 TB1 67 16
Fixed cost = Rs.1500
Variable cost = Rs.1 per piece
Assume that cycle time for production of the component is same for
both the machines.Which machine will you select for producing (a)
800, (b) 700 components.

11. The annual requirement of an article (about 4000 pieces) can be met
by one semi-automatic turret lathe or by two engine lathes. The cost
of turret lathe is Rs.80,000(installed) and that of the engine lathe is
Rs.32,000. The useful life of each type of machine is 10 years. The
turret lathe takes up the same floor space as one engine, lathe,
saving Rs.480 per year in floor space. he turret lathe can produce
4000 parts in 2256 hours including set up time. Its operator
May2017 TB1 65 16
receives Rs.4 per hours. One operator is required on each engine
lathe, the wage rate being Rs.5 per hour. Both engine lathes are
operated for 2300 hours and produce a total of 3800 pieces. I = 6%,
T = 4%, D = d = 10%, M = m = 6%, B = b = 55%. A 4-hp motor is used
on turret lathe. and a 2 ½ hp motor on each of the engine lathe.
The power rate is Rs.0.35 per kwh. Which type of machine should be
selected for the job?
12. The following data is given for turret lathe and automatic lathe.

s = 2 hour S = 4 hours
l = Rs.4 per hour L = Rs. 4 per hour
d = Rs.1.50 per machine hour D = Rs.4.50 per
machine hour
Find the break even quantity which can be produced on either the
turret lathe or the automatic lathe.
13. Do the break even analysis for engine lathe and turret lathe, from
the following data.
Engine lathe Turret lathe
t = 12 min. T = 5 min.
TB1 72 8
l = Rs. 7 per hr. L = Rs. 5 per hr.
o = Rs. 4 per hr. O = Rs. 8 per hr.
s = 2 hrs. S = 8 hrs.
sr = Rs. 8 per hr.Sr = Rs. 8 per hr.
14. A semi-automatic turret lathe costs. Rs. 80000 and it produces
16 pieces per hour and its operator receives Rs. 2 per hour. An
engine lathe which costs Rs. 32000 produces to pieces per hour and May2016 TB1 72 8
its operator receives Rs. 2.50 per hour. Calculate the minimum
number of pieces which makes turret lathe more economical.
15. The aircraft flap nose rib can be produced either by hydro press or by
steel draw die. The following data is available for Nt = 500.
Pa = Rs. 8.40Pb = Rs. 14.80
May2016 TB1 74 8
Ta = Rs. 6480.00 Tb = Rs. 1616.00
