The engineering department estimates costs of $450,000 for the first year. It is estimated that if process and plant alterations are made, the waste treatment cost will decline $43,000 each year. As an alternative, a specialized firm, Hydro-Clean, has offered a contract to process the waste liquids for 15 years for $225,000 per year.

We need to use the following formula and chose the smallest net present value:

NPV= Io +∑ [Cf/(1+i)^n]

Option A:

Io= 407,000

Year cost= 43,000

NPV= 734,061

Option B:

Yearly cost= 225,000

NPV= 1,936,368

fenix001 [56]

Answer:

actual quantity= 25,000 pounds

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Standard quantity= 2 pounds per units

Production= 12,000 units

Direct material quantity variance= $5,000 unfavorable

Standard price= 120,000/(2*12,000)= $5

<u>To calculate the actual quantity used in production, we need to use the following formula:</u>

Direct material quantity variance= (standard quantity - actual quantity)*standard price

-5,000 = (24,000 - actual quantity)*5

-5,000 = 120,000 - 5actual quantity

125,000/5 = actual quantity

25,000 = actual quantity
