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)

MrMuchimi

Answer:

The net income will increase by $6,712 if the subcomponent is purchased.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Swifty Corporation incurs the following costs to produce 9900 units of a subcomponent:

Direct materials $8316

Direct labor 11187

Variable overhead 12474

Fixed overhead 16200

Total cost= $48,177

An outside supplier has offered to sell Swifty the subcomponent for $2.85 a unit.

Swifty could avoid $3000 of fixed overhead by accepting the offer.

We need to calculate the total cost of buying the subcomponent:

Buy:

Total cost= 9,900*2.85 + (16,200 - 3,000)= $41,415

The net income will increase by $6,712 if the subcomponent is purchased.

                              = 2.43 %

the approximate real rate of interest is 2.43 %

When economists speak of a deadweight​ loss, they are referring to?
nadezda [96]
Deadweight loss is a type of economic inefficiency when a good or service is not at its economic equilibrium (where supply equals demand). This loss may be experienced because of a tax or subsidy, or because of market power, such as a monopoly. Economists refer to deadweight loss when they want to show the negative effects of certain policy decisions that are less than optimal.

Andrej [43]
I believe the correct answer is option C. The best indication of a property's value comes from recently sold properties. A property's value would be higher when the place is a transportation access point and around it many infrastructure are present or it is a tourist spot.

Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

Split-off point:

The split-off point is the point at which products from the joint process appear and are identified.  The costs which are incurred up to the split-off point are called joint costs and the costs that are incurred after the split-off point are called as

Separable costs. Some joint products which emerge from joint process can be sold at the split-off point or some products can be put to further processing.

Compute the profit or loss from the three products as shown below'

Description                                                              A               B               C

Selling price after further processing                    20              13              32

Selling price at the split off point                            16               8        25

Incremental revenue per pound or gallon             4               5         7

Total quarterly output in pounds or gallons     $15,000    $20,000    $4,000

Total incremental revenue                              $60,000   $100,000  $28,000

Total incremental processing costs              $63,000   $80,000  $36,000

Total incremental profit or (loss)                       ($3,000) $20,000  ($8,000)

Therefore the products A and C are need to be sold at the split off point and he product B should be processed further to earn good profits.
