Answer:

McMahon Corporation

Partial productivity measures for labor for the four locations:

                               Mobile     Pecos     Spokane     Lansing

Labor productivity   3.26         3.93          3.29           2.48

(meals per labor

hour)

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

                               Mobile     Pecos     Spokane     Lansing   Total

Meals served        114,000   216,000     74,000       13,500   417,500

Labor-hours          35,000    55,000     22,500        5,250    117,750

Labor productivity  3.26         3.93            3.29           2.48      3.55

b) Labor productivity is computed as total output divided by labor-hours (labor input).  It is the manpower or workforce productivity.  It is one of the productivity measures with capital as the other measure.

Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

Answer is explained in the explanation section below.

Explanation:

Solution:

First, we need to sort out the data given properly, so that we can answer to the best.

Data Given:

For Chamber D103:

Installed Cost = -400,000 USD

Annual Operating Cost Per Year = -4000 USD

Salvage Value 10% of P = 40,000 USD

Life = 3 years

Similarly,

For Chamber 490G:

For Chamber D103:

Installed Cost = -250,000 USD

Annual Operating Cost Per Year = -3000 USD

Salvage Value 10% of P = 25,000 USD

Life = 2 years

a.

For Chamber D103

AW Chamber D103 = -400,000 x (A/P, 10%, 3) + 40000 x (A/F,10%, 3) - 4000

So,

(A/P, 10%, 3) = 0.40211    (from the compound interest table )

(A/F,10%, 3) = 0.30211

AW Chamber D103 = -400,000 x 0.40211 + 40000 x 0.30211 - 4000

AW Chamber D103 = -152,760 USD

For Chamber 490G:

AW Chamber 490G = -250,000 x (A/P,10%,2) + 25000 x (A/F,10%, 2) - 3000

So,

(A/P,10%,2) = 0.5762

(A/F,10%, 2) = 0.4762

AW Chamber 490G = -250,000 x 0.5762 + 25000 x 0.4762 - 3000

AW Chamber 490G = -135,143 USD

So, after evaluating both the chambers using the AW method, more economical is the chamber 490G.

b.

Now, we need to change the values to check whether the chamber selection can be changed or not:

so, New values for Chamber D103

P = -300,000 and Salvage value of 30,000

For Chamber D103

AW Chamber D103 = -300,000 x (A/P, 10%, 3) + 30000 x (A/F,10%, 3) - 4000

So,

(A/P, 10%, 3) = 0.40211    (from the compound interest table )

(A/F,10%, 3) = 0.30211

AW Chamber D103 = -300,000 x 0.40211 + 30,000 x 0.30211 - 4000

AW Chamber D103 = -115,570 USD

New Values for Chamber D103

P = -500,000 and the Salvage Value = 50,000

AW Chamber D103 = -300,000 x (A/P, 10%, 3) + 30000 x (A/F,10%, 3) - 4000

So,

(A/P, 10%, 3) = 0.40211    (from the compound interest table )

(A/F,10%, 3) = 0.30211

AW Chamber D103 = -500,000 x 0.40211 + 50,000 x 0.30211 - 4000

AW Chamber D103 = -189,950 USD

Hence,

At P = 300,000 will definitely change the selection to D103 Chamber.

xenn [34]

Answer:

-3.41%

Explanation:

The computation of the annual rate of return is shown below;

We use the formula:

Future value = Present value × (1 + rate of interest)^number of years  

$10,710,500 = $12,738,500 × (1 + rate of interest)^5

($10,710,500 ÷ $12,738,500)^(1 ÷ 5) = (1 + rate of interest)

(1 + rate of interest) = 0.965913622

r = (0.965913622 - 1) × 100

= -3.41%
