Answer:

c. Purchase cost of existing machine

Explanation:

Relevant  costs are the incremental costs that can be avoided by avoiding the functional activity with which the costs are associated.

Maintenance costs are relevant as they are directly linked to the use of machinery and as such are incremental with the use. The same is the case with the maintenance costs of the existing machine as they are avoidable if the new machine is purchased.

Expected cost savings would be incremental with the improved new machine. These cost savings thus are relevant.

Resale value of existing machine are also relevant as these would contribute towards the purchase of new machine.

The purchase price of existing machine is irrelevant as the machine cost has already been paid and regardless of purchasing the new machine or not, this cost is not a part of any calculations.

Hope that helps.

yarga [219]

Answer:

1 EUR = 120 JPY

Explanation:

As the purchasing power parity theory, the exchange rate of currency 1 to currency 2  = Cost of good  in currency 1 / cost of same valued item  in currency 2

In this case,  a Lexus LS400 and a Mercedes C300 are considered to be of equivalent value, then the exchange rate between the yen and the euro

= price of Lexus in Tokyo/ price of Mercedes  in Stuttgart

= 6,000,000 JPY/ 50,000 EUR

= 120 JPY/EUR
