Part B Wild Bill is thinking about adding a second employee to load bricks and to do other tasks around the business. The priority job for the new employee will be to load trucks, but the other tasks will keep the new employee productively busy. Trucks still arrive to be loaded at the same arrival rate, but when the two loaders work together, trucks can be loaded at the rate of 8 per hour. The new employee also makes $10 per hour. NOTE: BOTH loaders can be productive doing other tasks when they are not loading trucks, so changes in productivity are to be ignored. Based solely on direct labor costs, does it make financial sense for the new employee to load trucks? Yes, because total cost is less than with one loader. No, because total cost is more with two loaders. No, because productivity and utilization is too low with two loaders. Question 10 12 pts What is the cost to load a truck with two loaders?
