Question:

Refer to the information in Exercise 9-47. The manager of the Personnel Department decides that her estimate of the activities might be too simple in two ways. First, the time to interview depends on the level of the position for which a candidate is sought. She estimates that for a candidate at the manager level, the additional interviewing time is 120 minutes. (Personnel Department employees only conduct the initial interview, but they accompany the candidate for interviews by the hiring executive or CEO.) For a candidate at the executive level, the additional time for interviewing is 360 minutes (in addition to the time required for a manager).
The second issue she identified is that the time for separation processing depends on whether the separation is voluntary. She estimates that an involuntary separation requires an additional 180 minutes of personnel time.
Required
a. Write out the time equation for the interviewing activity.
b. Write out the time equation for the separation processing activity.
c. Based on the information in Exercise 9-47 and in this problem, what is the cost of interviewing a manager? An executive?
d. Based on the information in Exercise 9-47 and in this problem, what is the cost of a voluntary separation? An involuntary separation?
