    (a) 450 minutes

    (b) 275 minutes

    (c) 725 minutes

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given,

    Number of units in one batch = 25

    move time for raw materials to Cutting Department per unit = 6 minutes

    Time taken by Cutting Department per unit = 4 minutes

    move time to Sewing Department per unit = 3 minutes

    Time taken by sewing Department per unit = 10 minutes

    move time to Packaging Department per unit = 2 minutes

    time taken by packaging Department per unit = 4 minutes

    (a) value added time for one unit = Time taken by Cutting Department per unit

    +Time taken by sewing Department per unit

    +time taken by packaging Department per unit

    = (4 + 10 + 4) minutes

    = 18 minutes

    Value added time for 25 units = 18 x 25

    = 450 minutes

    (b) within batch wait time per unit = move time for raw materials to Cutting department per unit + move time to Sewing Department per unit + move time to Packaging Department per unit

    = (6+3+2) minutes

    = 11 minutes

    Total within batch wait time = 11 x 25

    = 275 minutes

    (c) total lead time for batch = Value added time for 25 units

    +Total within batch wait time

    = 450 + 275

    = 725 minutes
