The cost of equipment to apply epoxy paint to a warehouse floor is $1,400. Materials and supplies (masking tape, surface repair

material, solvents, cleanup supplies, etc.) will cost $2.03 per ft2. Alternatively, a contractor can be hired annually to do the job for $3.25 per ft2. If the cost of the equipment will be recovered at i = 10% per year over a three-year period with no salvage value, the number of square feet that must be treated each year to justify the equipment purchase is closest to:
A. 1148 ft^2
B. 953 ft^2
C. 2457 ft^2
D. 460 ft^2.

Answer:

D. 460 ft^2

Explanation:

Given That:

Cost of Equipment Purchased = $ 1400

useful life = 3 years

recovery rate of equipment =10%

Materials & Supplies cost ( Variable cost) = $ 2.03 / Sq.ft

If the Work is alternatively taken care (hired) by the contractor  

Amount payable to contractor for the job ( variable cost ) = $ 3.25 / Sq.ft

Now;

Savings in Variable cost due to purchase of Equipment ( $ 3.25 - $ 2.03) = $ 1.22

Equipment cost to be recovered per year = Cost of Equipment / PVAF ( r%, n years)

= $ 1,400 / PVAF ( 10%, 3years)

= $ 1,400 / 2.49

= $ 562.25

Minimum usage required = Cost of equipment to be recovered per year / Savings in variable

= $ 562.25 / $ 1.22

= 460.85

Minimum usage to be worth for purchasing equipment = 460 ft²

A produce distributor uses 774 packing crates a month, which it purchases at a cost of $12 each. The manager has assigned an ann
ki77a [65]

Answer:

$444.42

Explanation:

For computing the saving amount, first need to calculate the economic order quantity, total cost etc

The economic order quantity is

= \sqrt{\frac{2\times \text{Annual demand}\times \text{Ordering cost}}{\text{Carrying cost}}}

where,

Annual demand is

= 774 packaging crates × 12 months

= 9,932 crates

And, the carrying cost is

= $12 × 34%

= $4.08

= \sqrt{\frac{2\times \text{9,288}\times \text{\$29}}{\text{\$4.08}}}

= 363.37 crates

Now the total cost is

= Annual ordering cost + Annual carrying cost

= Annual demand ÷ Economic order quantity × ordering cost per order + Economic order quantity ÷ 2 × carrying cost per unit

= 9,288 ÷ 363 × $29 + 363 ÷ 2 × $4.08

= $742.02 + $740.52

= $1,482.54

Now the total cost in case of 774 packing crates is

= Annual ordering cost + Annual carrying cost

= Annual demand ÷ Economic order quantity × ordering cost per order + Economic order quantity ÷ 2 × carrying cost per unit

= 9,288 ÷ 774 × $29 + 774 ÷ 2 × $4.08

= $348 + $1,578.96

= $1,926.96

So, the annual saving cost is

= $1,926.96 - $1,482.54

= $444.42
