Utilization can be calculated using the formula utilization = average output rate / maximum capacity.

Utilization = number of lots x setup time + processing time x number of units / number of hours per day x working days per year  

Utilization = [200 x 1 + (45/60) x 2000] / (8 x 215)  = 1700 / 1720 

Utilization = 0.9884   

The utilization is 0.9884 or 98.84%. capacity cushion can be calculated by subtracting the utilization from 1. The capacity cushion is 0.01163 or 1.17%

At the beginning of the year, ACME had an inventory of $600,000. During the year, the company purchased goods costing $2,250,000
babunello [35]

Answer:

COGS (cost of goods sold) = $2,100,000

Gross Profit rate = 0.3

Explanation:

The formula for computing COGS (cost of goods sold) is as

COGS (cost of goods sold) = Beginning inventory + Purchases - Ending inventory

where

Beginning inventory amounts to $600,000

Purchases made during the period is $2,250,000

Ending inventory is $750,000

So, putting the values above:

COGS (cost of goods sold) = $600,000 + $2,250,000 - $750,000

COGS (cost of goods sold) = $2,850,000 - $750,000

COGS (cost of goods sold) = $2,100,000

The formula for computing Gross Profit rate is as:

Gross Profit rate = Gross Profit / Net Sales

where

Gross Profit is computed as:

Gross Profit = Net Sales - COGS

= $3,000,000 - $2,100,000

Gross Profit = $900,000

Net Sales is $3,000,000

So, putting the values above:

Gross Profit rate = $900,000 / $3,000,000

Gross Profit rate = 0.3

Answer:

Explanation:

The equivalent annual cost can be calculated dividing NPV by the annuity factor

In order to find NPV first

                                   Year1    Year2   Year3   Year4  Year5         Total

Operating and

Maintenance              18000 21000  24000  27000 30000          -

Discount factor(10%)  0.909   0.826   0.751   0.683   0.620           -

Discounted CFs          16362   17346  18024    18411   18600      88,713

Salvage                                                                          12000  

Discount factor(10%)                                                     0.620

Discounted salvage                                                      7440        (7440)

Inital Cost                   (55,000)                                                      (55,000)

NPV                                                                                                136,333

Calculation for EAC

NPV = 136,333

Annuity factor for 5 years = 3.790

Equivalent annual cost = NPV /Annuity factor

Equivalent annual cost = 136,333/3.790

Equivalent annual cost = 35,972
