Mama L [17]

Answer:

Equivalent annual cost = $16,502.89

Explanation:

Equivalent annual cost = Present Value of cost / Annuity factor

Present value of cost:

PV of additional cost =50,000 ×1.05^(-10)=30,695.66

PV of maintenance cost

First four years= 5,000× (1-1.05^(-4))/0.05=17,729.75

From year 5 to infinity = (8,000/0.05)× 1.05^(-4)=131,632.39

PV of maintenance cost = 17,729.75 + 131,632.396= 149,362.14

PV of costs = 150,000 + 30,695.66 + 149,362.14= 330,057.8112

Annuity factor = 1/r = 1/0.05= 20

Equivalent annual cost = 330,057.8112 /20=$16,502.89

Equivalent annual cost = $16,502.89

VikaD [51]

Answer:

$281,612

Explanation:

Plane Operating Cost = Fixed cost + (Variable cost per unit1 × q1) + (Variable cost per unit 2 × q2)

Plane Operating Cost = $40,190 + ($2709*88) + ($10 * 303)

Plane Operating Cost = $40,190 + $238,392 + $3,030

Plane Operating Cost = $281,612

Owner Shan Mu is considering franchising her Noodles by Mu restaurant concept. She believes people will pay $ 10.00 for a large

denpristay [2]

Answer:

Instructions are listed below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

She believes people will pay $ 10.00 for a large bowl of noodles. Variable costs are $ 5.00 per bowl. Mu estimates monthly fixed costs for a franchise at $9,000

First, we need to calculate the break-even point in dollars:

Break-even point (dollars)= fixed costs/ contribution margin ratio

Break-even point (dollars)= 9,000/ [(10 - 5)/10]= $18,000

<u>To determine whether it is convenient to the franchisees, we need to calculate the margin of safety in dollars and, compare it to a break-even point in dollars with the desired income:</u>

<u />

Break-even point (dollars)= (fixed costs + desired income)/ contribution margin ratio

Break-even point (dollars)= (9,000 + 25,500) / 0.5= $69,000

Margin of safety=(current sales level - break-even point)

Margin of safety= 96,500 - 69,000= $27,500

It is a good business opportunity for franchisees.
