Answer:
The alternative that should be chosen assuming identical replacement is:
Alternative B.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Alternatives:
A B
First Cost $5,000 $9,200
Uniform Annual Benefit $1,750 $1,850
Useful life, in years 4 8
Rate of return 7% 7%
Annuity factor 3.387 5.971
Present value of annuity $5,927.25 $11,046.35
Net cash flow $927.25 $1,846.35
b) Alternative B yields a higher return than Alternative A. Since the two alternatives are based on the same rate of return, Alternative B will bring in a higher annual benefit, even when discounted to the present value.
Answer:
hundredth = 40.48 which is 40.8
Quarter = 40.48 which is 40.75
Explanation:
The total number of hours worked in all days of the week for Manson is 40 hours 48 minutes.
In hudredth time the conversion of 40.48 equals 40.8 but in quarter time to round time to nearest quarter hour, we have to round the times within 7 minutes of a 15 minute mark to that 15 minutes. Since 48 minutes are only 3 minutes more than 45 minutes, we round back to 45 minutes which is 0.75 in decimal.
Hence the hundredth hour timing is preferred for Edie Manson because it shows a higher time for hours worked and potentially more pay.
