years. The old machine can be sold for $6,250. A new machine with a purchase price of $68,750 is being considered as a replacement. It will have a useful life of three years and no residual value. It is estimated that the annual variable manufacturing costs will be reduced from $43,750 to $20,000 if the new machine is purchased. The differential effect on income for the entire three years for the new machine is a(n) a. $8,750 decrease b. $8,750 increase c. $2,925 decrease d. $31,250 decrease

Answer:

b. $8,750 increase in income

Explanation:

The effect is a decrease in expense resulting to an increase in income

Lets compare the situation if the old machine was used and the if the new machine was used:

Old Machine

Costs: Variable manufacturing cost = $43,750 × 3 years = $131250

Benefits: None

Total differential cost to be incurred = $131,250

New Machine

<u>Costs: </u>

Purchase Cost: $68,750

Variable manufacturing cost = $20,000 × 3 years = $60,000

Total Cost = $128,750

<u>Benefits: </u>

Sales proceeds from Old Machine - $6,250

Total differential cost to be incurred = [$128,750 - $6,250] = $122,500

We can see that the cost incurred on the old machine is higher than the new machine.

Difference = [$131,250 - $122,500] = $8,750 increase in income

If a company adds 60 new workstations at a cost of $100,000 each and also spends $20 million for addition in its camera/drone as
vredina [299]

Answer:

$1,300,000

Explanation:

Given:

Number of workstation = 60

Cost of each workstation = $100,000

Additional Cost = 20,000,000

Computation of total cost:

= Total work station cost + Additional cost

= ($100,000 x 60) + $20,000,000

= $6,000,000 + $20,000,000

= $26,000,000

Assume Depreciation rate = 5%

Deprecation = Total Cost x Depreciation rate

= $26,000,000 x 5%

= $1,300,000

What is the difference between an increase in demand and an increase in quantity demanded?.
Setler [38]

Answer:

Quantity Demanded is a shift up/down a demand curve

Increase in Demand is a shift in the curve itself.

Explanation:

There will be an increase in Quantity Demanded when price goes down. There is a Quantity Demand change when there is a price change. (QD goes up when Price goes down, QD goes down when price goes up)

An increase in demand is when one of the shifters of demand change. So for example, if number of consumers (one of the shifters) increase, the demand curve increases, and shifts right, meaning more quantity at each pricepoint.
