Answer:

a) For MACHINE A  

Net Present Value (NPV) 7208

Internal Rate of Return (IRR) 11,48%

For MACHINE B      

Net Present Value (NPV) -13468

Internal Rate of Return (IRR) 6,99%

b)BAK Corp should buy MACHINE A

Explanation:

We use excel or a spreadsheet to calculate net present value and the profitability index of each machine. See document attached.

We use a cash flow to solve this problem.

At moment 0 we have the investment cost , in this case Original cost $76,700 $183,000 for Machine A and Machine B . From period 1 to period 8, we have inflows and outflow. (Estimated annual cash inflows $20,200 $40,500  

Estimated annual cash outflows $5,040 $9,870).

Then, we calculate the Net cash flow that is the difference between benefits and cost.

We use all the result (positive and negative) in Net cash flow to get the profitability index, IRR.

Total 17500 shirts are produced and sold. The selling price is $22, variable cost per unit is $18 and fixed cost is $ 80000. If
scoray [572]

Answer:

please mark me as brainlist please

Explanation:

The basic theory illustrated in (Figure) is that, because of the existence of fixed costs in most production processes, in the first stages of production and subsequent sale of the products, the company will realize a loss. For example, assume that in an extreme case the company has fixed costs of ?20,000, a sales price of ?400 per unit and variable costs of ?250 per unit, and it sells no units. It would realize a loss of ?20,000 (the fixed costs) since it recognized no revenue or variable costs. This loss explains why the company’s cost graph recognized costs (in this example, ?20,000) even though there were no sales. If it subsequently sells units, the loss would be reduced by ?150 (the contribution margin) for each unit sold. This relationship will be continued until we reach the break-even point, where total revenue equals total costs. Once we reach the break-even point for each unit sold the company will realize an increase in profits of ?150.

For each additional unit sold, the loss typically is lessened until it reaches the break-even point. At this stage, the company is theoretically realizing neither a profit nor a loss. After the next sale beyond the break-even point, the company will begin to make a profit, and the profit will continue to increase as more units are sold. While there are exceptions and complications that could be incorporated, these are the general guidelines for break-even analysis.

As you can imagine, the concept of the break-even point applies to every business endeavor—manufacturing, retail, and service. Because of its universal applicability, it is a critical concept to managers, business owners, and accountants. When a company first starts out, it is important for the owners to know when their sales will be sufficient

Riverside Ranch is a horse breeding facility. Dynasty Stables is a customer looking for a new stallion for its breeding program.
marshall27 [118]

Answer: a. an express warranty

Explanation:

An EXPRESS WARRANTY refers to spoken or written promises or guarantees made by the seller about the performance of a product when negotiating with a buyer.

For example, "this product is guaranteed against wear and tear for at least 2 years".

Roy Mustang in this scenario made an explicit promise about the effectiveness of the Stallion and as such that constitutes an EXPRESS warranty.

It is worthy of note that for Express Warranties, the word Warranty does not even need to be included for the promise to be a warranty.
