How do you calculate the operation time for a work order requiring 220 units, with setup time of 2 standard hours and run time of 0.2 standard hours per unit?

44.0 standard hours
44.4 standard hours
46.0 standard hours
46.6 standard hours

The correct answer is: 46.0 standard hours

To calculate the operation time for a work order, you need to include both the setup time and the run time. Setup time is a fixed cost that occurs once for the entire work order, while run time is incurred for each unit produced. In this case, the setup time is provided as 2 standard hours. The run time for each unit is 0.2 standard hours, and with a requirement of 220 units, you would multiply the run time per unit by the total number of units: Run time = 0.2 standard hours/unit * 220 units = 44 standard hours. Now, you add the setup time to the total run time: Total operation time = Setup time + Total run time = 2 standard hours + 44 standard hours = 46 standard hours. Therefore, the correct answer is the total operation time of 46 standard hours.
