Two methods can be used for producing solar panels for electric power generation. Method 1 will have an initial cost of $550,000
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

the company should choose method 1

Explanation:

                                                  Method 1                Method 2

Initial outlay                              $550,000               $830,000

operating costs (years 1,2,3)    $160,000                $120,000

salvage value                            $125,000               $324,000

we must determine which alternative has the lowest present value:

method 1 = $550,000 + $160,000/1.1 + $160,000/1.1² + $160,000/1.1³ - $125,000/1.1³ = $550,000 + $145,455 + $132,231 + $120,210 - $93,914 =  <u>$853,982</u>

method 2 = $830,000 + $120,000/1.1 + $120,000/1.1² + $120,000/1.1³ - $324,000/1.1³ = $830,000 + $109,091 + $99,174 + $90,158 - $243,426 = $884,996

nignag [31]

97.8 or 98 items

Explanation:

A items:

= Percent of items in inventory × No. of items

= 0.1 × 6,800

= 680

B items:

= Percent of items in inventory × No. of items

= 0.31 × 6,800

= 2,108

C Items:

= Percent of items in inventory × No. of items

= 0.59 × 6,800

= 4,012

Units to be counted everyday:

=\frac{A\ items}{workings\ days} + \frac{B\ items}{workings\ days} + \frac{C\ items}{workings\ days}

=\frac{680}{22} + \frac{2,108}{61} + \frac{4,012}{124}

      = 30.90 + 34.55 + 32.35

      = 97.8 or 98 items
