Answer:

Choose Project A whose payback is 2.492 years and therefore falls within the 2.5 year required payback period.

Explanation:

Project A    

Year   Cash-flow   Balance

0    (72,000)    (72,000)

1    21,400     (50,600)

2    22,900     (27,700)

3    56,300     28,600  

Payback = YearsWithNegativeCumulativeCashflowBalance + \frac{-LastNegativeBalance}{CashInflowfollowingYear}


= 2years + \frac{-(-27,700}{56300}=2.492 years

Project B      

Year  Cash-flow          Balance  

0    (81,000)    (81,000)

1    20,100     (60,900)

2    22,200     (38,700)

3    74,800     36,100  

Payback = YearsWithNegativeCumulativeCashflowBalance + \frac{-LastNegativeBalance}{CashInflowfollowingYear}


= 2years + \frac{-(-38,700}{74,800}=2.517 years

Mr. Hudson notes that if he produces 10 pairs of shoes per day, his average fixed cost (AFC) is $14 and his marginal cost is $8;
zalisa [80]

Answer:

Average fixed cost for 20 units = $7

Explanation:

<em>The fixed costs are cost are expenditures that do not vary with the activity level within a given range. Unlike variable costs, fixed costs are tend to be unaffected in the short run by amount of production work done or service rendered.</em>

The units produced will not have an impact on the total fixed costs but rather on the average fixed cost. The average fixed cost would become lower as the units produced increases.

Average fixed cost = Total fixed cost / Total units produced.

Hence , Total fixed cost = Average fixed cost × units produced

DATA

AFC - $14

Units - 10 units

Total fixed cost = 10 × 14 = $140

Average fixed cost for 20 units =Total fixed cost / Number of units

140/20 = $7

Average fixed cost for 20 units = $7
