b3. Consider a process consisting of three resources. Assume there exists unlimited demand for the product.
a. Resource 1 has a processing time of 6 minutes per unit.
The cost of direct labor is the total wages per unit of time divided by the flow rate.
The flow rate is (1/6) parts per minutes
Total wages per unit of time = $12*3/60= $12/20 per minute
So, cost of direct labor =(12/20)/(1/6)= $3.6 per part
b. Resource 2 has a processing time of 3 minutes per unit.
c. Resource 3 has a processing time of 5 minutes per unit.
All three resources are staffed by one worker.
