An airport needs a modern material handling system for facilitating access to and from a busy maintenance hangar. A second-hand

Arlecino [84]

Answer:

The second hand machine should be chosen given that the NPV value is lower than that of the new system

Explanation:

cost of second hand system = $75,000

cost of new system = $150,000

New system can decrease labor hours by 20%

number of useful life ( for both systems ) = 5 years

market value of second hand system after 5 years = $20,000

market value of new system after 5 years = $50,000

Second hand system can operate for 8 hours/day for 20 days = 8*20 = 160 hours per month = 1920 hours per year

labor cost = $40 per hour

MARR = 1% per month

<u> Determine the system that should be recommended</u>

we have to calculate the NPV for both options

for Option 1 ( second hand system )

labor cost = 40 * 1920 = $76800

cost of purchase = $75,000

MARR = 12% p.a.

residual value = $20000

First step : calculate the PV of maintenance cost = $76800× PVAF(12%, 5 years) = $276864

Next : calculate the PV of residual value =$20000× PVF(12%, 5th year)

= $11340

NPV = (75000 + 276864 - 11340 ) = $340,524

for Option 2 ( New Machine )

Labor cost = ( 1920 × 0.8 )hours ×40 = $61440

cost of machine = $150000

Pv of labor cost = 61440×3.605 = $221491.20

Residual value = $50,000

Hence ; PV of residual value = 50000 × 0.567 = $28350

Finally calculate the NPV = (150000+221491.20-28350) = $343,141.20

The law of increasing costs warns us that as demand increases, the cost of the product increases. as the cost of production incr

givi [52]

Answer: c). according to the ppf, as we produce more of one product, eventually we have give up more and more of the other product.

Explanation: PPF shows all possible combination of goods that a country can produce with its limited resources. The slope of a PPF is the opportunity cost which shows the units of goods that must be sacrificed to gain more and more units of the other good. As we move down the PPF the opportunity cost increases. This means that <em>more and more units of a good must be sacrificed to gain additional units of the other good</em>.

A company allowed its employees to take a half hour lunch break. However, the break was uncompensated, and the employees were no

hoa [83]

Answer:

FLSA rules establish that only short coffee breaks (between 5 to 20 minutes) should be compensated as work time. Meal periods that last at least 30 minutes are not compensable work time.

If maintenance workers are recalled earlier, that time counts as work time because they are performing their normal work tasks.
