An airport needs a modern material handling system for facilitating access to and from a busy maintenance hangar. A second-hand

Arlecino [84]

Answer:

The second hand machine should be chosen given that the NPV value is lower than that of the new system

Explanation:

cost of second hand system = $75,000

cost of new system = $150,000

New system can decrease labor hours by 20%

number of useful life ( for both systems ) = 5 years

market value of second hand system after 5 years = $20,000

market value of new system after 5 years = $50,000

Second hand system can operate for 8 hours/day for 20 days = 8*20 = 160 hours per month = 1920 hours per year

labor cost = $40 per hour

MARR = 1% per month

<u> Determine the system that should be recommended</u>

we have to calculate the NPV for both options

for Option 1 ( second hand system )

labor cost = 40 * 1920 = $76800

cost of purchase = $75,000

MARR = 12% p.a.

residual value = $20000

First step : calculate the PV of maintenance cost = $76800× PVAF(12%, 5 years) = $276864

Next : calculate the PV of residual value =$20000× PVF(12%, 5th year)

= $11340

NPV = (75000 + 276864 - 11340 ) = $340,524

for Option 2 ( New Machine )

Labor cost = ( 1920 × 0.8 )hours ×40 = $61440

cost of machine = $150000

Pv of labor cost = 61440×3.605 = $221491.20

Residual value = $50,000

Hence ; PV of residual value = 50000 × 0.567 = $28350

Finally calculate the NPV = (150000+221491.20-28350) = $343,141.20

A manufacturer is contemplating a switch from buying to producing a certain item. Setup cost would be the same as ordering cost.

Flauer [41]

Answer

D) compared to the EOQ, the maximum inventory would be approx 30% lower.

Explanation

EOQ = √(2*Co*D/Cc)

EPQ= √ (2*Co*D/(Cc*(1-x)))

x=D/P

D = demand rate

P =production rate

Co=ordering cost

Cc=holding cost

1) The production rate would be about double the usage rate.

hence, P = 2D

x=D/2D=0.5

EPQ= √ (2*Co*D/((1-0.5)*Cc))

EPQ= √ (2*Co*D/0.5Cc)

EPQ=√ (1/0.5)*EOQ

EPQ=√ (2)*EOQ

EPQ=1.41*EOQ

Hence, EPQ is around 40% larger than EOQ.

Ans.: c) EPQ will be approximately 40% larger than the EOQ.

2) Compared to the EOQ, the maximum inventory would be

maximum inventory = Q

EPQ = 1.41 EOQ

EPQ = 1.41*Q

Q=EPQ/1.41

Q=0.71 EPQ

Hence, compared to EOQ, maximum inventory in EPQ is only 70% of that in EOQ model.

tatiyna

Answer:

The answer is : C. Investment overstated; retained earnings overstated

Explanation:

Under the equity method of accounting, Fey Corporation should record the correct entry as below:

Dr Equity Investment 16,800

Cr Equity Income 16,800

Dr Cash 5,400

Cr Equity Investment 5,400

As a result, Investment account has been overstated by $5,400 while Dividend Revenue account has been overstated by $5,400. The overstating in Dividend Revenue will subsequently result to the overstating in Retained Earnings account through closing entry.

So, C. Investment overstated; retained earnings overstated is the correct answer.
