Answer:

Please see explanation.

Explanation:

Material Cost = A cost which is used to prepare a goods or services is termed as material cost.

Processing Cost = When a cost incurs to satisfy customers want from taking orders to ensuring product delivery, it is called processing cost. It includes taking order, tracking, keeping and maintaining inventories, manufacturing products, customer support, and product delivery.

When there are two alternatives including processing and material costs, we have to use three scenarios:

A) In both the alternatives, the material cost is $50,000 and $55,000. The processing cost is $40,000 and $45,000.

In that case, since material cost and processing cost vary from one alternative to another, both the cost are relevant.

B) In both the alternatives, the material cost is $50,000 and $50,000. The processing cost is $40,000 and $45,000.

In that case, since the cost for material in alternative A and B is similar while the processing cost is different, therefore, only processing cost is relevant.

C) In both the alternatives, the material cost is $50,000 and $55,000. The processing cost is $40,000 and $40,000.

In that case, since the cost for material in both the alternatives are different while the processing cost is similar, only material cost is relevant.

postnew [5]

Answer:

8.25%

Explanation:

Orange, Inc. should calculate the MARR (minimum acceptable rate of return) for this project using the following:

Re = 12% (similar to Paste, Inc., so it can be considered the industry's average)

Rd = 6% x (1 - 25%) = 4.5%

MARR = (1/2 x 12%) + (1/2 x 4.5%) = 6% + 2.25% = 8.25%

This calculation is similar to calculating a company's WACC since you must determine the weighted cost of financing the project.
