The appropriate response is a Horizontal merger. An even merger is a merger or business union that happens between firms that work in a similar space, as rivalry has a tendency to be higher and the cooperative energies and potential picks up in piece of the pie are considerably more prominent for consolidating firms in such an industry.

Dragon Inc. a NJ based construction firm is evaluating whether to replace an aging machine with a new model. For the old machine

Vilka [71]

Answer:

It should replace the old machine. In the current accounting period.

Explanation:

We need to perform a relevant cost analysis:

Keep the machine:

F0 = $0

F1 = $1500 maintenance

F2 = $3,000 maintenance

F3 = $6,000 maintenance

F4 = $12,000 maintenance

F5 =$24,000 maintenance + 250 resale value

replace the machine:

F0 = -12,000 purchase + 4,000 sale of old machine = -800

F1 = $900 maintenance

F2 = $900 maintenance

F3 = $900 maintenance

F4 = $900 maintenance

F5 =$900 maintenance + 1,500 resale value

As revenues are the same for each machine, we ignore them. We will only focus on the cost each machine generate:

We solve for the present worth of each machine with a discount rate of 12%

$\displaystyle PV_{old} = -\frac{1,500}{1.12} - \frac{3,000}{1.12^2} - \frac{6,000}{1.12^3} - \frac{12,000}{1.12^4} - \frac{23,750}{1.12^5}\\\\\displaystyle PV_{old} = -29,104.15$

$\displaystyle PV_{new} = -8,000 - \frac{900}{1.12} - \frac{900}{1.12^2} - \frac{900}{1.12^3} - \frac{900}{1.12^4} + \frac{600}{1.12^5}\\\\\displaystyle PV_{new} = -10,393.16$

As the present worth of the new machine is lower, the best decision for the company is to purchase the new machine and sale the old machine.

Delaying this will incur in higher maintenance cost (1,500 - 900)

and a lower recovery value (4,000 - 2,000)

As there is no cost saving for delaying the purchase, it should be made immediately.

Economics Airlines currently spends $20,000 per month in airport fees and $10,000 per flight for fuel, crew, and airplane mainte

Kamila [148]

Answer:

b. 20

Explanation:

For 5 flights per month

Total Cost = Variable cost + Fixed cost

Total Cost = Fuel, crew, and airplane maintenance cost + Airport fee

Total Cost = (5 X 10000) + 20,000 = $70,000

For 6 flights per month

Total Cost = Variable cost + Fixed cost

Total Cost = Fuel, crew, and airplane maintenance cost + Airport fee

Total Cost = (6 X 10000) + 20,000 = $80,000

Additional Cost for 6th flight = $80000-70,000 = $10,000

Minimum No. of Passenger to cover the cost = Additional cost / Ticket price per seat

Minimum No. of Passenger to cover the cost = $10,000 / $500 = 20 seats passengers.
