Two roadway designs are under consideration for access to a permanent suspension bridge. Design 1A will cost $1.7 million to bui

ld and $175,000 per year to maintain. Design 1B will cost $3.6 million to build and $40,000 per year to maintain. Both designs are assumed to be permanent. Use an AW-based rate of return equation to determine (a) the breakeven ROR and (b) which design is preferred at an MARR of 25% per year.

Answer and Explanation:

A. Given that Design 1A will cost $1.7 million to build and $175,000 per year to maintain

Given that Design 1B will cost $3.6 million to build and $40,000 per year to maintain

Both designs are assumed to be permanent

To find ROR using AW based rate of return equation, we find present value of each design and equate them:

Each design is permanent so

Present value of perpetuity:

Design 1A= 1700000+175000/r

Design 1B = 3600000+40000/r

=1700000+175000/r=3600000+40000/r

135000/r=1900000

Cross multiply

r=135000/1900000

r= 0.0710

r=7.10%

B Given that ROR=7.10% and MARR is 25%

MARR>ROR

Hence we reject both designs

What do you think about the 7dream concept for seven- eleven japan? from a supply chain perspective, is it likely to be more suc
VashaNatasha [74]
The Seven Dream concept of the Seven Eleven convenience store is a good supply chain concept that targets e-commerce customer. While most of the e-commerce portal are successful these days, 7 Dream comes as an unique inception. This allows customer to order via online and collect from the store deliveries at their convenience as well. The concept is seem to be more preferred in Japan, where customers have preference towards store delivery of the shipped goods. In fact, the 7- eleven in Japan is more successful than any other countries where the franchise has its stores open.

From the supply chain perspective, I think 7dream concept will be more successful in Japan than in USA. The reason being the urban customer of Japanese market and convenient access  for them to store and pick up. For place like USA, where population is sparsely distributed to large area, this supply chain concept will not be very effective. For Suburban population, this model will be very inconvenience as they have to drive a long way to store to collect their deliveries, which they could have easily got home delivered via other such services.

Suppose that the prices of good A and good B were to suddenly double. If good A is plotted along the horizontal axis and good B
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

The correct answer is option b.

Explanation:

A budget line shows the maximum possible combination of two goods that a consumer can purchase by spending his/her whole income.  

The quantities of those two goods are mentioned on both the axes. If the price of both the products is doubled. The consumer will be able to afford half the quantity than what he was consuming earlier.  

This will cause the budget line to shift to the left. This new budget line will be parallel to the initial one. The slope of the budget line will remain the same.

During which phase does an employee returning from a foreign assignment experience culture shock in reverse?
weeeeeb [17]
The correct answer is repatriation. 
A person who has been sent to work in another country might have a hard time adjusting to his original country once he or she returns. This is because you assimilate into that new culture, and when you go home, you have to readjust again in order to assimilate back into your former culture.

Suppose that if the Doombug toy is dropped, the production and sale of other Draper toys would increase so as to generate a $16,
Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

The correct option is A

Explanation:

Contribution Margin = Sales - Variable expense

                                  = $150,000 - $120,000

                                  = $30,000

Doombug's Profit Margin = Avoidable fixed expenses -  Contribution Margin

                                          = $8,000 - $30,000

                                          = ($22,000)

Increase or Decrease in net operating income = Additional contribution margin - Doombug's Profit Margin

= $16,000 - ($22,000)

= ($6,000)

Therefore, there is decrease in net operating income of Doombug. So, there is decrease of $6,000.
