Dragon Inc. a NJ based construction firm is evaluating whether to replace an aging machine with a new model. For the old machine

, next year maintenance will cost $1,500, and those costs will double each year. The old machine could be sold today for $4,000 but resale value will decline 50% per year. A new machine model costs $12,000, lasts for 5 years and costs $900/year to maintain. After 5 years the new model could be sold for $1,500. Revenue from Machine is about $8000 annually. If r = 12% and we ignore taxes; should Dragon Inc. replace the old machine? If so, when should it do it?

Answer:

It should replace the old machine. In the current accounting period.

Explanation:

We need to perform a relevant cost analysis:

Keep the machine:

F0 = $0

F1 = $1500 maintenance

F2 = $3,000 maintenance

F3 = $6,000 maintenance

F4 = $12,000 maintenance

F5 =$24,000 maintenance + 250 resale value

replace the machine:

F0 = -12,000 purchase + 4,000 sale of old machine = -800

F1 = $900 maintenance

F2 = $900 maintenance

F3 = $900 maintenance

F4 = $900 maintenance

F5 =$900 maintenance + 1,500 resale value

As revenues are the same for each machine, we ignore them. We will only focus on the cost each machine generate:

We solve for the present worth of each machine with a discount rate of 12%

\displaystyle PV_{old} = -\frac{1,500}{1.12} - \frac{3,000}{1.12^2} - \frac{6,000}{1.12^3} - \frac{12,000}{1.12^4} - \frac{23,750}{1.12^5}\\\\\displaystyle PV_{old} = -29,104.15

\displaystyle PV_{new} = -8,000 - \frac{900}{1.12} - \frac{900}{1.12^2} - \frac{900}{1.12^3} - \frac{900}{1.12^4} +  \frac{600}{1.12^5}\\\\\displaystyle PV_{new} = -10,393.16

As the present worth of the new machine is lower, the best decision for the company is to purchase the new machine and sale the old machine.

Delaying this will incur in higher maintenance cost (1,500 - 900)

and a lower recovery value (4,000 - 2,000)

As there is no cost saving for delaying the purchase, it should be made immediately.

Which would be an example of sustainable development? a. Current use of fossil fuels in the U.S. b. Heap-leach extraction of gol
Setler [38]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "D": Development of brownfields in urban areas.

Explanation:

In urban planning, sustainable development refers to continuous activities that can be performed during extended periods of time. They are the result of repeated patterns of individuals who, sometimes unconsciously, provoke more and more individuals to repeat their actions.

Under such a scenario, <em>the development of brownfields in urban areas is the result of building more department complexes in the cities because of the increasing need for renting and selling houses as a result of the increasing population growth.</em>

The kenosha company has three product lines of beer mugslong dash​a, ​b, and clong dashwith contribution margins of $ 5​, $ 4​,
Tema [17]

Answer:

break even point in units:

  • a = 11,700
  • b = 46,800
  • c = 35,100

Explanation:

beer mugs          contribution margin         expected sales

a                                $5                                   25,000

b                                $4                                  100,000

c                                $3                                   50,000

fixed costs = $351,000

if the sales proportion remains the same, we can assume a bundle of products = 1a + 4b + 3c (1 for every 25,000 units) whose contribution margin = $5 + $16 + $9 = $30

break even point = fixed costs / bundle's contribution margin = $351,000 / $30 = 11,700 bundles

break even point in units:

a = 11,700

b = 11,700 x 4 = 46,800

c = 11,700 x 3 = 35,100

Suppose a new car company sought to enter the rental car market, and Enterprise, Avis and Hertz responded by offering rentals ve
Anni [7]

Answer: The problem of this plan is that their income will not be able to break even, because their cost price will be grater than the selling price. Which may cause the new company to wind up

Explanation: break even is a point where the cost price is equal to the selling price. This means that profit nor loss were not made.

Because Avis and Hertz are offering rentals at a prices below average variable cost, the company may not be able to meet up with capital for production of more cars, and this will cause them to wind up.

For a new company, it is always advisable to keep it's selling price a little bit above or the same with it's cost Price, because the strength not any business is the ability to produce more to fill the space of scarcity.
