Answer:

$2,740,251.24

Explanation:

Applying power sizing technique or an exponential model to determine the cost of new boiler.

This model identify the cost variation along with change in capacity or power of the equipment.

\frac{C_{A} }{C_{B} } =(\frac{S_{A}}{S_{B}})^{x}

Where,

Cb = Cost of new plant

Sa = capacity of new plant

Sb = capacity of old plant

x = cost capacity factor

Therefore,

\frac{C_{A}}{2,000,000} =(\frac{400,000}{250,000})^{0.67}

C_{A}=2,000,000\times\frac{400,000}{250,000}

               = 2,000,000 × 1.3701

               = $2,740,251.24

Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (<em>EEOC</em>) is an agency of the federal government of the United States that enforces laws against race, color, religion, sex, age, or disability discrimination in the workplace. Most employers and unions are covered under EEOC laws.

yKpoI14uk [10]

Since the cost of $20,000 has been incurred two years ago, the firm should check and see as to how many units of the product were produced in the two years. Did the firm produce enough items to break even the cost of acquisition. Additionally the business should also check the current market value of this two year old equipment. The business manager should weigh in the savings that is to be obtained from outsourcing along with the resale value of the old machine and then take a declension as to whether the company should go for outsourcing. Also, the business manager must examine whether the outsourcing can happen for the long run. This is because two years down the line, outsourcing may have increased the cost and again another process may look attractive. So a through cost benefit analysis should be made before taking a decision.
