Answer:

Explanation:

Let the number of days per year that the company will need the equipment in order to justify its purchase b represented by x.

Based on the information given, this will then be:

1130x + 180x = 199000(A/P, 10%,10) - 65000(A/F, 10%, 10), + 32000 + 220x

1310x = 199000(0.1627) - 65000(0.0627) + 32000 + 20x

1310x - 20x = 32377.3 - 4075.5 + 32000

1290x = 60301.8

x = 60301.8/1290

x = 46.75

Therefore, the answer is 46.75 days.

Using the estimated sales and production of 140,000 boxes of Chap-Off, the Accounting Department has developed the following man
Alchen [17]

Answer:

Silven Industries

If Silven buys its tubes from the outside supplier, it will be able to avoid $1.10 of its own Chap-Off manufacturing costs per box

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Estimated Production and Sales Units of Chap-Off = 140,000 boxes

Manufacturing cost per box:      Avoidable costs

Direct material              $ 3.70           $0.74 ($3.70 * 20%)

Direct labor                      2.00             0.20 ($2.00 * 10%)

Manufacturing overhead 1.60              0.16 ($1.60 * 10%)

Total cost                      $ 7.30            $1.10

Outside supplier's price for tubes = $1.20 per box

b) Unless there an alternative use for the machine used in making the tubes internally exists, it may not be cost-effective for Silven to buy from the outside supplier.  Alternatively, it should renegotiate a price per box that is less than $1.10 in order to stop making the tubes internally.

Which of the following is not a fee that contributes to the initial cost of leasing a car? a. First payment b. Final payment c.
Darya [45]

The final payment is <u><em>not </em></u>a fee that contributes to the original cost of leasing an automobile, option B is the correct answer.

<h3 /><h3>How is leasing charged?</h3>

The first payment is, predictably, the same as one month's rent.

A lender or lessor will impose an acquisition fee to offset the costs of establishing a loan or lease agreement.

A disposition fee, sometimes known as a turn-in fee, is a cost associated with returning a rented vehicle.

Therefore, final payment doesn't contribute to leasing a car.
