The management of Ballard MicroBrew is considering the purchase of an automated bottling machine for $120,000. The machine would

replace an old piece of equipment that costs $30,000 per year to operate. The new machine would cost $12,000 per year to operate. The old machine currently in use could be sold now for a salvage value of $40,000. The new machine would have a useful life of 10 years with no salvage value. Compute the simple rate of return on the new automated bottling machine. Please show your work.

Answer:

7.5%

Explanation:

Cost savings :

= Equipment cost - New machine cost

= 30,000 - 12,000

= 18,000

Depreciation per year :

= Cost of automated bottling machine ÷ Useful years

= 120,000 ÷ 10

= 12,000

Simple rate of return:

= (Cost savings - Depreciation of new equipment) ÷ (cost - salvage of old)  

= (18,000 - 12,000) ÷ (120,000 - 40,000)

= 6,000 ÷ 80,000

= 0.075

= 7.5%

In applying the high-low method, what is the fixed cost? month miles total cost january 80,000 $144,000 february 50,000 120,000
kupik [55]
The high and low levels of activity are 90,000 miles in April and 50,000 miles in February. The costs at these two levels are $195,000 and $120,000, re-spectively. The difference in costs is $75,000 ($195000-120000), and the difference in miles is 40,000 (90000-50000). Therefore, variable cost per unit is $1.875computed as follows.
75000÷40000=1.875

Determine the fixed costs by subtracting the total variable costs at either the high or the low activity level from the total cost at that activity level
Variable cost=1.875×50,000=93,750

fixed cost=120,000−93,750=26,250

Answer:

this question is not true/false

the answer is: foreign direct investment

Explanation:

FDI is a game played on both sides. For example, the US received $296.4 billions during 2018 as FDI from foreign investors.
