Answer:

The maximum amount the company should pay for the new machine is $1,567,500 if it wants to break even by the end of the first year

Explanation:

Number of article (N) = 380.000

Time for each articles (T) = 95 minutes = 1.583 hours

Direct Labour Cost (D1) = $9 per hour

Overhead Cost (O1)= $7.50 per direct labour hour

Total cost for labour(C)=   D1 + O1= $16.50 per hour

Selling price of articles(S1) = $80 per article

- Cost of Production (P1)= N * T * C

= 380,000 * 1.583 * 16.50

=$9,925,410

-Total amount got by selling (S) = N * S1

=380,000 * 80

=$30,400,000

Profit in this process (R1) = S - P1

=30,400,000 - 9,925,410

=$20,474,590 per year

-Time for each article with new machines (T)= 95 - 15 = 80 minute = 1.333 hour

-Cost for production (P2)= N * T * C

=380,000 * 1.333 * 16.50

=$8,357,910

Profit in this Process(R2)= S-P2=

=30,400,000 - 8,357,910

=$22,042,090 per year

Net Profit gain by new machine = R2 - R1

=$22,042,090 - $20,474,590

=$1,567,500 per year

The maximum amount the company should pay for the new machine is $1,567,500 if it wants to break even by the end of the first year

ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer: Option (B) is correct.

Explanation:

The nominal GDP is equal to the real GDP in the base year, that's why GDP deflator in the base year is equal to 100.

GDP deflator is calculated as the nominal GDP divided by the real GDP multiply by 100. It is shown as:

GDP deflator = \frac{Nominal\ GDP}{Real\ GDP} \times 100

GDP deflator would be used as the conversion factor that transformed the real GDP into nominal GDP.
