A relocation of a short stretch of rural highway feeding into Route 390 northwest of Dallas is to be made to accommodate new gro

wth. The existing road is now unsafe, and improving it is not an alternative. Alternate new route locations are designated as East and West. The initial investment by government highway agencies will be $3,650,000 for East and $5,000,000 for West. Annual highway maintenance costs will be $120,000 for East and $90,000 for the shorter location West. Relevant annual road user costs, to be treated as disbenefits, considering vehicle operation, time en route, fuel, safety, mileage, and so on, are estimated as $880,000 for East and only $660,000 for West. Assume a 20-year service life and i = 7% / year. Compute the incremental B/C ratio and decide whether East or West should be constructed.

s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

The correct answer is have a low value-to-weight ratio.

Explanation:

Products that have low weight-value ratios (for example, coal, iron ore, bauxite and sand) also have low storage costs but high movement costs as a percentage of their sales price. Inventory management costs are calculated as a ration of the value of the product. Low product value means low storage cost, since inventory management costs are the dominant factor in storage cost. When the value of the product is low, transport costs represent a high proportion of the sale price.

Consequently, companies that deal with products of low value for weight frequently try to negotiate more favorable transport rates; rates are generally lower for raw materials than for finished products of the same weight.

Explanation: In alternative A) the firm loss is $80,000 ($125,000-$45,000)

In alternative E) all $125,000 is lost

In alternative B, C and D) the loss is $68,000 ($125,000-$80,000+$23,000)

Relevant costs are those evitable, that are cause of a manager decision related to an specific business decision.  

The only cost that can be avoided in these example is the cost of $23,000 so the goods can be cleaned and shipped to the firm's outlet center
