For example, suppose phone assembly department A’s phones were finished at 9:00 AM., and that department B delivered its kits at 1:00 PM and they were completed at 7:00 PM the same day. Department B would be charged for 10 hours of the board department’s costs even though the board department was idle for 4 of the 10 hours.
