One of the operations in the United States Postal Service is a mechanical mail sorting operation. In this operation, letter mail

is sorted at a rate of one letter per second. The letter is mechanically sorted from a three-digit code input by an operator sitting at a keyboard. The manager of the mechanical sorting operation wishes to determine the number of temporary employees to hire for December. The manager estimates that there will be an additional 35,100,000 pieces of mail in December, due to the upcoming holiday season.
Assume that the sorting operators are temporary employees. The union contract requires that temporary employees be hired for one month at a time. Each temporary employee is hired to work 150 hours in the month.

a. How many temporary employees should the manager hire for December?

b. If each employee earns a standard $16 per hour, what would be the labor time variance if the actual number of letters sorted in December was 34,020,000? Use the minus sign to enter favorable variances as negative numbers.

Nissan’s all-electric car, the Leaf, has a base price of $32,780 in the United States, but it is eligible for a $7500 federal ta
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

Nissan's all-electric car, the Leaf

PV cost of Leaf Purchase =   $16,529

PV cost of Leasing =             $12,944.78

The company should lease the car.

Explanation:

a) Costs incurred to purchase the Leaf:

Base price                    $32,780

less Federal tax credit ($7,500)

Charging station             2,200

less 50% tax credit         (1,100)

Cash paid                  $26,380

Sales value after 3 yrs (9,851) ( $26,380 - 40% of base discounted to PV)

Net PV Investment    $16,529

b) Calculation of Discounted Present Values of Payments under Leasing, using online financial calculator:

PV (Present Value) $12,944.78

N (Number of Periods) 3.000

I/Y (Interest Rate) 10.000%

PMT (Periodic Payment)   $4,200.00

Starting Investment $2,500.00

Total Principal $15,100.00

Total Interest $2,129.50

c) The purchase of the Leaf would involve a present value cost of $26,380 after deducting all the savings from tax.  The 40% sales value of the car at the end of 3 years = $13,112 ($32,780 x 40%).  When this sales value is discounted to PV of $9,851, the PV of the car investments becomes $16,529 ($26,380 - $9,851).  On the other hand, leasing will cost in PV the sum of $12,944.78
