A key joint in a precision machining process has a lower specification limit of a width of 0.99 mm and an upper specification limit of 1.01 mm. The standard deviation is 0.005 mm and the mean is 1 mm. The company wants to reduce its defect probability and operate a "Six Sigma process."

To what level would this company have to reduce the standard deviation in the process to meet this target?

Note: A "Six Sigma process" has a process capability index Cp value of 2.0.

A. 0.000001

B. 0.00001

C. 0.0017

Harwood company uses a job-order costing system that applies overhead cost to jobs on the basis of machine-hours. the company's predetermined overhead rate of $2.50 per machine-hour was based on a cost formula that estimates $240,000 of total manufacturing overhead for an estimated activity level of 96,000 machine-hours. required: 1. assume that during the year the company works only 91,000 machine-hours and incurs the following costs in the manufacturing overhead and work in process accounts: compute the amount of overhead cost that would be applied to work in process for the year and make the entry in your t-accounts. 2a. compute the amount of underapplied or overapplied overhead for the year and show the balance in your manufacturing overhead t-account. 2b. prepare a journal entry to close the company's underapplied or overapplied overhead to cost of goods sold.
