A company incurs costs of $38 per unit ($27 variable and $11 fixed) to make a product that normally sells for $56. A wholesaler

Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

It should accept the special order at the price of $36 as the total marginal cost will be $28.5 (27 variable cost + 1.15 shipping cost).

Explanation:

Special orders are accepted only if marginal revenue increases the marginal cost. Marginal cost is the total cost incurred to fulfill any order.

In the given scenario, since the Company already has adequate capacity and it will not incur any additional fixed cost, therefore the order can be accepted by taking variable cost in to consideration.

Marginal Revenue 36

Less: Marginal Cost

Variable Cost (27)

Shipping Cost (1.15)

Total Profit from Order 7.85

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

Determine the system that should be recommended

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

You want to have $3 million in real dollars in an account when you retire in 40 years. The nominal return on your investment is

sasho [114]

Answer: $25078

Explanation:

Firstly, we'll find the real interest rate which will be:

(1 + R) = (1 + r)(1 + h)

(1 + 10%) = (1 + r)(1 + 4.8%)

(1 + 0.1) = (1 + r)(1 + 0.048)

1.1 = (1 + r)(1.048)

r = 4.96%.

Now the annual deposit will be gotten by using the annuity future value which will be:

3 million = C(1.0496^40-1) / 0.0496

3 million = C(5.3995) / 0.0496

3 million = 119.627C

C = 3 million/119.627

C = 25078

Therefore, the real amount that must be deposited each year to achieve the goal is $25078
