    A) cost of direct labor = 1.10+0.55+0.92 = $2.57

    b. Labor content = 6 min + 3 min+5 min = 14 min

    c. idle time at resource 3 = (6+3) - 5 = 4 mins

    d. Average labor utilization = labor content / (labor content plus idle time)

    = 14 / (14+7) = 14/21 = 0.66666667*100 = 67%

    e. takt time = available time / demand

    = 60 min / 20 = 3 min

    f. Target man power = total labor content / Takt time

    = 14 / 3

    = 4.67 = 5 manpower

    Explanation:

    direct labor per unit

    Resource 1 = 6/60 = 0.1 hrs*11 = $1.10

    Resource 2 = 3/60 = 0.05 * 11 = $0.55

    Resource 3 = 5/60 = 0.08*11 = $0.92

    total idle time; resource 1 = 3 + 4 = 7
