An auto manufacturer is considering adding new automation to their assembly line to reduce production costs. The manufacturer is

confident that capital costs to get the new equipment "in service" will be $4,000,000, with a salvage value of $40,000 after a 9 year useful life. The manufacturer is less confident about the annual savings that will occur as a result of automation and cannot accurately assess the probability of the various outcomes. The manufacturer estimates the annual savings will be in the range of:
Pessimistic $460,000
Most likely $660,000
Optimistic $840,000
Required:
1. Using an MARR of 12%, and the Beta distribution, determine the mean NOW for the investment. Express your answer in $ to the nearest $1,000

Answer:

Check the explanation

Explanation:

As per the beta distribution, the average revenue per year = (Pessimistic +4*Most Likely +Optimistic) / 6

Avg revenue per year = (460000 + 4*660000 + 840000) / 6 = 656666.67

MARR = 12%, life = 9 yrs

NPW = -4000000 + 656666.67 * (P/A,12%,9) + 40000 * (P/F,12%,9)

= -4000000 + 656666.67 * 5.32824 + 40000 * 0.36061

= 7498877.6+14424.4

= -433415.60

= -433000 (nearest 1000)

Answer:

Answer: -6410000 (nearest 1000)

Explanation:

For the beta distribution, the average revenue per year =              (Pessimistic +4*Most Likely +Optimistic) / 6

Avg revenue per year = (460000 + 4*660000 + 840000) / 6 = 656666.67

MARR = 12%, life = 9 yrs

NPW = -4000000 + 656666.67 * (P/A,12%,9) + 40000 * (P/F,12%,9)

= -4000000 + 656666.67 * 5.32824 + 40000 * 0.36061

= -6409511.847

= -6410000 (nearest 1000)

Volgvan

Answer: No. It does not violate Title VII if Cynthia's employer does not grant her the leave.

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that Cynthia, requested a two-week leave from her employer to go on a religious pilgrimage and that the pilgrimage was not a requirement of her religion, but Cynthia felt it was a calling from God.

Based on the scenario, Title VII is not violated if Cynthia's employer does not grant her the leave. According to the court, when an employee says that based on his or her religious belief, he or she is required to go to a pilgrimage, the person has to prove beyond reasonable doubt.

In this case, her church which is the Roman Catholic didn't call for a pilgrimage as it was her personal choice. Therefore, Title VII is not violated if Cynthia's employer does not grant her the leave.

1. Calculate the efficiency variance for variable overhead setup costs.

This will be calculated as:

= Standard Hours - Actual Hours) × Standard rate

= (15000/225 × 5.25 - 15000/250 × 5) × 38

= (350 - 300) × 38

= 50 × 38

= 1900 Favourable

2) Calculate the rate variance for variable overhead setup costs.

This will be:

= Standard rate- Actual rate) × Actual Hour

= (38-40) × (15000/250 × 5)

= -600 Unfavourable

3) Calculate the flexible-budget spending variance for variable overhead setup costs.

This will be the difference between the standard cost and the actual cost. This will be:

= (15000/225×5.25 ×38) - (15000/250×5 ×40)

= 13300 - 12000

= 1300 Favourable

4) Calculate the spending variance for fixed setup overhead costs.

solniwko [45]

Answer:

Current ratio= 1.3977

Explanation:

Current Ratio:

It is the measure of company ability to pay short term debits of one year. It also tells how company can increase its current assets.

Given:

Total assets=$689,400

Long-term debt=$198,375

Total equity= $364,182

Net fixed assets =$512,100

Sales = $1,021,500

Formula For current Ratio:

Current Ratio=\frac{Total\ Assets-Net\ Fixed\ Assets}{Total\ Assets-  long_term\ debt-total\ equity}

Current\ Ratio=\frac{\$689,400-\$512,000}{\$689,400-\$364,182-\$198,375}\\ Current\ Ratio=1.3977
