Two currently owned machines are being considered for the production of a part. The capital investment associated with the machi

nes is about the same and can be ignored for purposes of this example. The important differences between the machines are their production capacities (production rate x available production hours) and their reject rates (percentage of parts produced that cannot be sold). Consider the following table: Machine A Machine B Production rate Hours available for production Percent parts rejected 100 parts/hour 7 hours/day 3% 130 parts/hour 6 hours/day 10% The material cost is $6.00 per part, and all defect-free parts produced can be sold for $12 each. (Rejected parts have negligible scrap value.) For either machine, the operator cost is $15.00 per hour and the variable overhead rate for traceable costs is $5.00 per hour. Assume that the daily demand for this part is large enough that all defect-free parts can be sold. Which machine should be selected?

Answer:

Machine A's output in a day = 100 × 7 = 700

Rejected output of machine A =0.03 × 700 = 21

Thus defect free output of machine A = 700 – 21 = 679

Revenue from Using Machine A = 679 × 12 = 8148

Cost of Using Machine A = 6 × (Defect free output) + 15 × 7 + 5 × 7 = 6 × 679 + 105 + 35 = 4214

Thus, profit from using machine A = 8148 – 4214 = 3934

Machine B's output in a day =130 × 6 = 780

Rejected output of machine B = 0.1 × 780 = 78

Thus, defect free output of machine B = 780 – 78 = 702

Revenue from Using Machine B = 702 × 12 = 8424

Cost of Using Machine B = 6 × 702 + 15 × 6 + 5 × 6 = + 105 + 35 = 4212 + 120 = 4332

Thus profit from using machine B = 8424 – 4332 = 4029

Since the profit from using machine B is higher, Machine B should be selected.

you lend a friend 10,000 dollars for which your friend will repay you 27,027 dollars at the end of 5 years. What interest rate a
Step2247 [10]

Answer:

The interest rate is "21.999%".

Explanation:

The given values are:

Amount lent,

= 10,000

Amount repaid,

= 27,027

Years (n),

= 5

As we know,

⇒  Amount \ repaid = Amount \ lent\times (1+r)^n

On substituting the given values, we get

⇒                27,027=10,000\times (1+r)^5

⇒                  \frac{27,027}{10,000}=(1+r)^5

⇒                 2.7027=(1+r)^5

⇒                 1+r = (2.7027)^{(1/5)}

⇒                 1+r=1.21999

On subtracting "1" from both sides, we get

⇒          1+r-1=1.21999-1  

⇒                      r=0.21999

i.e.,

⇒                      r=21.999 \ percent

SafeRide, Inc. produces air bag systems that it sells to North American automobile manufacturers. Although the company has a cap
iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

SafeRide, Inc.

a. The financial implications of accepting the order are that total production cost will increase by $315,000 with a corresponding increase in sales revenue of $540,000, and an increase in net income by $225,000.

b. Under full capacity, the total production cost will increase by $1,485,000 for adding additional facilities while the sales revenue would increase by $540,000, resulting to a loss of $945,000.

c. Under full-capacity circumstances, there is a financing disadvantage of accepting the order because the order will entail additional capacity and facilities, resulting to a loss of $945,000.

Explanation:

Annual production capacity = 300,000 units

Current production capacity = 180,000 units

Special order from a German manufacturer = 60,000 units

Special order price per unit = $9.00

Budgeted Costs For      180,000 Units  240,000 Units  Difference 60,000

Manufacturing costs

Direct materials                 $450,000           $600,000       $150,000

Direct labor                           315,000             420,000          105,000

Factory overhead              1,215,000           1,260,000           45,000

Total                                  1,980,000          2,280,000       $300,000

Selling and administrative 765,000              780,000            15,000

Total                              $2,745,000        $3,060,000        $315,000

Costs per unit

Manufacturing                       $11.00                  $9.50

Selling and administrative       4.25                     3.25

Total                                     $15.25                  $12.75

Selling price to North American manufacturers = $20 per unit

Financial implications of accepting the order:

Manufacturing costs

Direct materials                  $150,000

Direct labor                           105,000

Factory overhead                  45,000

Total                                  $300,000

Selling and administrative    15,000

Total                                  $315,000

Total cost per unit = $5.25 ($315,000/60,000)

Total manufacturing cost per unit = $5 ($300,000/60,000)

Increase in net income from accepting the order = $225,000 ($9.00 - $5.25) * 60,000

Manufacturing costs

Direct materials                  $150,000 (variable)

Direct labor                           105,000 (variable)

Factory overhead              1,215,000

Total                                $1,470,000

Selling and administrative    15,000 (assumed to be variable)

Total                               $1,485,000

Unit cost per additional unit = $24.75
