Answer:

The net present value of each potential investment:

Machine A Machine B

NPV $167,675 $2,267

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Machine A Machine B

Cost of machine $565,000 $410,000

Incremental after-tax income 165,000 75,000

Salvage value 25,000 26,000

Estimated useful life 6 years 8 years

Required rate of return 10% 10%

Annuity factor 4.355 5.335

PV factor 0.564 0.467

PV of incremental after-tax income $718,575 $400,125

($165,000*4.355) ($75,000*5.335)

PV of salvage value $14,100 $12,142

Total PV of income $732,675 $412,267

NPV $167,675 $2,267

= Total PV of income minus PV of initial investment cost

Answer:

The amount to invest each year for 13 years is $5,617.37.

Explanation:

This can be calculated using the formula for calculating the present value of an ordinary annuity as follows:

PV = P * ((1 - (1 / (1 + r))^n) / r) …………………………………. (1)

Where;

PV = current level of consumption = $52,672

P = amount to invest each year = ?

r = annual nominal interest rate = 5.03%, or 0.0503

n = number of years = 13

Substituting the values into equation (1) and solve for n, we have:

$52,672 = P * ((1 - (1 / (1 + 0.0503))^13) / 0.0503)

$52,672 = P * 9.37662983027493

P = $52,672 / 9.37662983027493

P = $5,617.37

Therefore, the amount to invest each year for 13 years is $5,617.37.

Flauer [41]

Answer:

$4.15.

Explanation:

The relevant to use in reaching the decision can be computed as follows:

Relevant cost = Direct materials + Direct labor + Variable overhead = $1.75 + $1.65 + $0.75 = $4.15.

Therefore, the relevant cost of manufacturing the motor to be considered in reaching the decision is $4.15.

Suppose that stricter emissions standards would reduce health-care costs by $70 million but increase the costs of fuel and emi

serious [3.7K]

This is asking for a cost-benefit analysis. This simply means look at the cost of the change and see if the benefit is greater than the cost.

In this case, the cost would be $40 million but there is a benefit (cost savings) of $70 million.

Since the benefit outweighs the cost, it is a good idea.
