Answer:

Equivalent annual cost ($) 294,177,861.7

Explanation:

Present \ Worth\ (PW) ($) = 3,000 \times  170,000 + 7,500 \times 170,000 \times PVIF (8%, 1)

From PVIF table, the value of PVIF (8%, 1)  is 0.9259

= 510,000,000 + 1,275,500,000 \times  0.9259

= 510,000,000 + 1180522500

= 1,690,522,500

Equivalent annual cost ($) = \frac{PW}{PVIFA (8 percentage, 8)}

from PVIF and PVIFA table, the value of PVIFA (8 %, 8) is 5.7466  

= \frac{1,690,522,500}{ 5.7466} = 294,177,861.7

7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

A. that involves double-counting.

Explanation:

Imagine a company that produces furniture. If we would include the wood, the nails, the wood paint, etc., were included in the calculation plus the furniture itself, you would be double-counting the cost of the manufactured furniture. If you consider waste materials, then you would be adding even more costs. That is why you only consider finished goods.
