Solution

(i) To determine the monthly output of products A and B, we need to calculate the total number of units processed by each machine and then multiply it by the number of hours each machine operates per day and the number of days in a month.

Let's start by calculating the output of machine I:

  • Machine I can process 25 units of product A per hour, so in 8 hours per day, it can process 25 * 8 = 200 units of product A.
  • Machine I can also process 10 units of product B per hour, so in 8 hours per day, it can process 10 * 8 = 80 units of product B.

Next, let's calculate the output of machine II:

  • Machine II can process 40 units of product B per hour, so in 7 hours per day, it can process 40 * 7 = 280 units of product B.
  • Machine II can also process 20 units of product A per hour, so in 7 hours per day, it can process 20 * 7 = 140 units of product A.

Now, let's calculate the monthly output:

  • For product A, the total output is (200 units/day from machine I) * (6 days/week) * (4 weeks/month) = 4800 units.
  • For product B, the total output is (80 units/day from machine I + 280 units/day from machine II) * (6 days/week) * (4 weeks/month) = 8320 units.

Therefore, the monthly output of product A is 4800 units and the monthly output of product B is 8320 units.

(ii) To calculate the per unit cost of production, we need to divide the total cost of operating each machine by the total number of units produced.

The cost of operating machine I per hour is 25,000, and it operates for 8 hours per day, so the total cost of operating machine I per day is 25,000 * 8 = 200,000. The cost of operating machine II per hour is 30,000, and it operates for 7 hours per day, so the total cost of operating machine II per day is 30,000 * 7 = 210,000.

Now, let's calculate the per unit cost of production:

  • For product A, the per unit cost is 200,000 / 4800 = 41.67.
  • For product B, the per unit cost is 210,000 / 8320 = 25.24.

Therefore, the per unit cost of production for product A is 41.67 and for product B is 25.24.

(iii) To calculate the total cost of production, we need to multiply the per unit cost of production by the total number of units produced.

The total cost of production for product A is 41.67 * 4800 = 200,016. The total cost of production for product B is 25.24 * 8320 = 210,156.8.

Therefore, the total cost of production is 200,016 for product A and 210,156.8 for product B.
