Answer:
To evaluate the choice, we have to calculate the present value of future cash flows and compare it with the cost. We use the following formula
present value = C × [
]
where
C = yearly payments = 75000
i = interest rate = 8%
n = no. of years = 15
put the given values in above equation, we get
Present value = 75000 ×8.559478688
= 641,961
Since the present value of cash flow 641,961 is less than the cost 750,000, I would not recommend it.
If Interest rate = 5%, then:
Do the same procedure as above but take i=5%
Present value = 75000 × 10.37965804
= 778,474
Since the present value of future cash flows 778,474 is greater than the cost 750,000, I would recommend it.
Answer:
C. repetitive production
Explanation:
Based on the information provided within the question it can be said that only in Repetitive Production
will you see at most minor variations implemented. This is because this type of operations uses various machines in a pre-set process to make the product, a small change in the product specifications would require ALL of the equipment to be replaced, rearranged, or modified just to be able to implement the changes to the product. This many times costs more money than what the change will generate.
