6      $234,000        $25,825       $206,950          $27,050

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Cost of new machines = $234,000

Residual value of equipment = $27,000

Depreciable amount = $207,000

Estimated useful life = 6 years

Straight-line depreciation expense per annum = $34,500 ($207,000/6)

Double-declining-balance rate = 33% (100%/6 * 2)

Year  Depreciation  Declining Balance

1          $77,220           $156,780

2         $51,737            $105,043

3        $34,664             $70,379

4        $23,225             $47,154

5         $15,561              $31,583

6          $4,593             $27,000

Estimated useful life in hours = 12,000

Depreciation rate per hour = $17.25 ($207,000/12,000)

Actual usage per year:

Year Hours Used  Usage Charge

1           2,800            $48,300 (2,800 * $17.25)

2          1,900             $32,775 (1,900 * $17.25)

3         2,000             $34,500 (2,000 * $17.25)

4         2,000             $34,500 (2,000 * $17.25)

5         1,800              $31,050 (1,800 * $17.25)

6         1,500              $25,825 (1,500 * $17.25)

Irina-Kira [14]

B. Lowest total cost of annual volume of 120 boats

C. C

Explanation:

The lowest total cost among the three alternatives is b.

If the company goes for new location it will have to incur fixed cost of $270,000 and variable cost per boat will be $600.

If the company Subcontracts then Total cost per boat is $2,620

If a company goes for expanding existing facility then it will incur fixed cost of $57,000 and variable cost will be $1,030 per boat.

If company produces 315,000 or more boats then it will have lowest possible cost for the boat.

For an output of 120 bots the best possible alternative is option C. The fixed cost will be $475 per boat ($57,000 / 120 boats)

The total cost will be $1,505 ($475 + $1,030)
