Answer:

We will consider positive interest rate which is i=0.21 or i=21%

Explanation:

The formula for Future value is:

$FV=PV(1+i)^n$

The present value will become:

$PV=FV(1+i)^{-n}$

where:

n is the number of years

Since the condition is same present value,so the given data form the equation:

$6000+5940(1+i)^{-1}=12000(1+i)^{-1/2}$

Divide above equation by $(1+i)^{-1}$

$6000(1+i)+5940=12000(1+i)^{1/2}$

Let $z=(1+i)^{1/2}\\$ . Above equation will become:

$6000z^2+5940=12000z$

Rearranging above equation:

$5940-12000z+6000z^2=0$

Solving the quadratic equation:

z=1.1, z=0.9

Let $z=(1+i)^{1/2}\\$ will become:

$z=(1+i)^{1/2}\\\\z^2=1+i$

$i=z^2-1$

For z=1.1

$i=(1.1)^2-1\\i=0.21$

For z=0.9

$i=(0.9)^2-1\\i=-0.19$

we will consider positive interest rate which is i=0.21 or i=21%

ALTERNATIVE B: INCREASE OR (DECREASE) IN NET INCOME

Cost to buy new machine $119,000

Cash received to trade in old machine $48,000

Reduction in variable manufacturing costs = 4*($33500 - $10300) = $92,800

irina [24]

Answer:

c. half of the order quantity

Explanation:

Based on the constant demand assumption in the economic order quantity (EOQ) model, the average cycle inventory is <u>half of the order quantity</u>

Economic order quantity is a quantity which minimizes the ordering cost and holding cost

Q = EOQ = $\sqrt{2*D*S/ H}$ where D = Demand unit, S = Order cost and H = Holding cost

- Ordering cost and the Holding at EOQ will be same

- Average inventory = Q/2

- Average inventory is the half of the order quantity.
