Bailey, Inc., is considering buying a new gang punch that would allow them to produce circuit boards more efficiently. The punch

has a first cost of $100,000 and a useful life of 15 years. At the end of its useful life, the punch has no salvage value. Labor costs would increase $2,000 per year using the gang punch, but raw material costs would decrease $12,000 per year. MARR is 5 %/year.
a) What is the discounted payback period for this investment?
b) If the maximum attractive DPBP is 3 years, what is the decision rule for judging the worth of this investment?
c) Should Bailey buy the gang punch based on DPBP?

Answer:

initial investment $100,000

useful life 15 years

cash flow per year = -$2,000 + $12,000 = $10,000

discount rate 5%

discounted cash flow:

1                $10,000/1.05 = $9,524

2               $10,000/1.05² = $9,070

3               $10,000/1.05³ = $8,638

4               $10,000/1.05⁴ = $8,227

5               $10,000/1.05⁵ = $7,835

6               $10,000/1.05⁶ = $7,462

7               $10,000/1.05⁷ = $7,101

8               $10,000/1.05⁸ = $6,768

9               $10,000/1.05⁹ = $6,446

10              $10,000/1.05¹⁰ = $6,139

11               $10,000/1.05¹¹ = $5,847

12              $10,000/1.05¹² = $5,568

13              $10,000/1.05¹³ = $5,303

14              $10,000/1.05¹⁴ = $5,051

15              $10,000/1.05¹⁵ = $4,810

A) discounted pay back period = 14.2 years

B) if the decision rule is a discounted payback period of 3 years, then the project should be rejected

C) the decision rule should be the NPV, which is actually positive since the DPBP is less than 15 years. Only companies that fear premature obsolescence should base their decision on the pay back period. Since this is an electronics company, it is sound to use the pay back period as a decision parameter besides the NPV.

Answer:

A. Loyalty

Explanation:

Brand Equity is the term used to describe the identity of a specific brand that has been built to be recognized and followed by its customers with loyalty.

Loyalty related to Brand Equity is the main factor in placing product quality and image as one of the company's marketing strategies. This is because it makes the consumer "fall in love" with the product offered, refusing to exchange it for similar ones, but who do not have the same identity. An example of this can be seen in the question above, where Albert and Alberta refuse to stay at a gym that does not offer their favorite drink. Because of this, they prefer to leave this gym and look for one that provides the drink they want.

When she uses her american express card, cathy obtains possession of goods and services when they are purchased. payment is due
JulsSmile [24]
<span>American Express credit cards and credit cards in general are a type of revolving charge account. Credit cards are regarded as a revolving charge account or revolving credit because if the balance is not paid off by the period specified, it will roll over to the next period (and collect interest), thus "revolving" into the next period. This is how the debt compounds if you are not responsible with your credit cards.</span>

For each of the following products, indicate whether you believe demand will be relatively price elastic or relatively price ine
insens350 [35]

Answer:

Note that goods that are considered in general have a broad demand and goods with broad demand are inelastic as there are no substitutes for them. Goods that are specific by nature have narrow demand and have elastic demand because consumers can switch to others if the price is increased slightly.

Hence, Mayonnaise in general, Washing machines and beer have inelastic demand as there are no close substitutes. The remaining three, namely, specific brand of mayonnaise, Chevrolet automobiles and Tesla automobiles have elastic demand as there are substitutes and consumers/users will switch to others if the price is no more favorable.

A process includes 9 tasks and there are 3 workers. Each task can be assigned to only one worker and each worker must be assigne
Katen [24]

Answer:

24.8 per hour

Explanation:

There are 3 workers and hence are three workstations. Consecutive activities are assigned to each workstation such that workload is as uniform as possible

Hence the time in each workstation (WS) is,  

WS1 = 45+55+15 = 115 seconds

WS2 = 25+50+5+30 = 110 seconds

WS3 = 95+50 = 145 seconds

Workstation 3 has the highest processing time and hence is the bottleneck and determines the capacity of the process

Therefore capacity = 1/145 per second = 3600/145 per hour = 24.8 per hour

D) Increase by $68,000

Explanation:

The computation of change in the operating income is shown below:

Sales ( 8,100 widgets × $39) $315,900

Less: Variable cost (8,100 widgets × $29) ($234,900)  

Contribution margin $81,000

Less: Increase in fixed assets -$13,000

Net income increased              $68,000

We simply applying the above format so that the change in the operating income could be find out. Since the net income is in positive so it shows an increment
