A machine with a book value of $80,000 has an estimated five-year life. A proposal is offered to sell the old machine for $50,50

0 and replace it with a new machine at a cost of $75,000. The new machine has a five-year life with no residual value. The new machine would reduce annual direct labor costs from $11,200 to $7,400.
Prepare a differential analysis whether to continue with the old machine or place the old machine.

Answer:

The company should continue with the old machine, because the company will lost $5,500 in 5 years with new machine.

Explanation:

Labor saving by using new machine in 5 years = 5* ($11,200 - $7,400) = $19,000

The cost for new machine = $75,000 for newly purchase  – sell old one for $50,500 = $24,500

So the total lost for new machine = cost of $24,500 – labor saving of $19,000 = $5,500

Answer:

119 fans

Explanation:

The computation of the estimated WIP is shown below:

= Average fans per hour × average hours

where,

Average fans per hour is

= 850 fans ÷ 20 hours

= 42.5 fans

And, the average hours is 2.8

So, the estimated WIP is

= 42.5 × 2.8

= 119 fans

We assume we have to find out the average estimated WIP level

A manager hires labor and rents capital equipment in a very competitive market. Currently the wage rate is $12 per hour and capi
Alex777 [14]

The firm should decrease the amount of capital used.

Solution:

The wage rate is $12 per hour and capital is rented at $8 per hour.

The marginal product of labour is 45 units of output per hour and the marginal product of capital is 65 units of output per hour.

A manager hires labour and rents capital equipment in a very competitive

market.

The ratio of marginal product of labour and wage rate

= \frac{45}{12}

= 3.75

The ratio of marginal product of capital and rent

= \frac{65}{8}

= 8.125

If the cost ratio is higher, it means that the boss must minimize the volume of money involved in the manufacturing process.

masya89 [10]

Answer:

The answer is False.

Explanation:

Refusing routine requests is a message strategy used by businesses to respond to issues that they do not plan to resolve.

Sometimes, this messages are automated such that when such routine request are sent in by a customer, the system responds back with an already encoded message that does not promise to reply the query.

This response is usually courteous and laced with positive language in order to help assuage the customers grief.

The case is different here because there is a promise to respond when Becky Chen added "I will contact you next week regarding the date and time of our next grand opening ceremony".

you are billed $300 at 5% simple interest for 2 years but given an opportunity to pay only 3% compound interest for 2 years. Whi
balandron [24]
This question is a bit tricky to answer because it does not state how often interest rate is applied so lets say for the simple 5% interest rate the rate of interest was calculated after 2 years you would pay a total interest of $15 since interest was only calculated once but for the 3% calculating every year with compound it would be a total of 18.27 dollars in interest but then you would have to calculate the 5% simple interest the same way which would total to $30 if calculated once a year being more than the 3% compound. But lets say interest is calculated once a month your total for the 5% simple interest would be $360 dollars interest for those 2 years and the 3% compound would be $406.97 dollars in interest. So over all the less amount of times interest compounds the less interest there is making it more worth than the simple but if the compounding occurs more frequently the simple 5% interest is more worth it. In this situation I think it might just be yearly interest which makes the 3% compound more worth taking for this short amount of time.

dolphi86 [110]

Answer: Sunk Cost

Explanation:

A sunk cost is an expense which a company or entity has already incurred and which cannot be recovered and so should not be considered when making decisions regarding incremental benefits or costs to an investment.

The $48 had already been incurred to produce the defective units and cannot be recovered so it is a sunk cost that should not be considered moving forward.
