Answer:

A. $20,000

B. $17,234.18

C.Option (b)

Explanation:

Obviously, the option with lower Present Value would be the best option to buy the car. The Present Value of the options can find out as following

REQUIREMENT A

Price of car = $24,600  

Rebate = $4,600

Present value of the payments for option  = Price of the car – rebate  

Present value of the payments for option (a) = $24,600 - $4,600

Present value of the payments for option = $20,000

REQUIREMENT B

We can use the following Present Value of an Annuity formula to calculate the present value of the payments

PV of the payments for option  = PMT * [1-(1+i) ^-n)]/i

PV of the payments for option (b) (PV) =?

Monthly payment PMT =$410 per month

Number of payments n = 5 years *12 months = 60

Monthly interest rate i=1.25% per month or 0.0125

PV of the payments for option  = $410 x [1- (1+0.0125) ^-60]/0.0125

PV of the payments for option  = $17,234.18

REQUIREMENT C.

Which is the better deal?

Option (b) is better deal as the present value of payments ($17,234.18) is less than Present value of the payments for option (a); $20,000.

Jones Furniture Company produces beds and desks for college students. The production process requires carpentry and varnishing.
N76 [4]

Explanation:

To  formulate the LP model for this problem,

Let,

<em>X1 = Number of beds to produce</em>

<em>X2 = Number of Desks to produce</em>

Our objective function:

Max: 30X1 + 40X2

Constraints:

  • 6X1 + 4X2 ≤ 36 available carpentry hours
  • 4X1 + 8X2 ≤ 40 available vanishing hours
  • X2 ≤ 8 (demand for X2)
  • X1, X2 ≥0

Based on the constraints information as well as the objective function you can then solve using the graphical method.
