Explanation:
a.)
If the ERP installation succeeds , the dollar amount of the benefit is as follows :
From more efficient order processing savings = $105,000
From streamlining the manufacturing process savings = $125,000
From reduce inventories savings = $225,000
From increased sales profit = $155,000
⇒Total benefit = $ 105,000 + 125,000 + 225,000 + 155,000
= $610,000
⇒Total benefit if the ERP installation succeeds = $610,000
b.)
Firstly check the Costs for installation of ERP:
Software cost = $435,000
Customizing ERP and loading data cost = $95,000
Employee training cost = $105,000
⇒Total cost = $ 435,000 + 95,000 + 105,000
= $635,000
⇒Total cost = $635,000
Now,
As we have
Total Benefit in installation of ERP = $610,000
Total cost in installation of ERP = $635,000
⇒Net benefit = $610,000 - $635,000 = -$ (25,000)
∴ we get
If Aqua Marine install the ERP system , them they face loss.
So, They should not install the ERP system.
