A machine cell uses 195 pounds of a certain material each day. Material is transported in vats that hold 25 pounds each. Cycle t
Anna [14]

Answer:

Number of vats used is 3

Explanation:

Number of pounds used per hour, D = 195 ÷ 8

= 24.375 pounds per hour

Cycle time, T = 2.25

Inefficiency factor, e = 0.19

Material held in vats, C = 25 pounds

Now,

Let, n be total number of vats

Thus,

n = \frac{DT(1+e)}{C}

on substituting the respective values, we get

n =\frac{25.75\times2.25\times(1+0.10)}{25}

or

n = 2.413 ≈ 3

Number of vats used is 3  [since vats cannot be in fraction]

yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

3 years

Explanation:

The computation of the payback period is shown below:

Payback period = Initial investment ÷ Net cash flow

where,  

Initial investment is $15,000

And, the net cash flow would be

= Year 1 + year 2 + year 3 + year 4

= $5,000 + $5,000 + $5,000 + $5,000

= $20,000

As we see that the net cash flow is recovered in three years that means net cash flows and the initial investment are equal

So,

Payback period would be

= $15,000 ÷ $15,000

= 3 years
