A piece of equipment has a first cost of $170,000, a maximum useful life of 7 years, and a market (salvage) value described by t

he relation S = 120,000 – 11,000k, where k is the number of years since it was purchased. The salvage value cannot go below zero. The AOC series is estimated using AOC = 60,000 + 14,000k. The interest rate is 12% per year. Determine the economic service life and the respective AW.

Answer:The answer is economic service life is 8 Years, The Annual worth is $27,225.7

Explanation:

Given the equation

S = 120,000 - 11,000K,and AOC is 60,000 - 14,000K, where K is the number of years since the machine was purchased

Substitute the value of K into the equation

S= 120,000 - 11,000 (7)

S = 120,000 - 11,000 ×7

S= 120,000 - 77,000

S= 43,000

AOC = 60,000 - 14,000 (7)

AOC = 60,000 - 14,000 × 7

AOC = 60,000 - 98,000

A

To calculate the economic useful life,we use the equivalent annual cost( EAC)

Yr particular. CF DF. PV

0. Purchase cost 170,000. 1. ( 170,000)

1-7. Running cost. (38,000) 0.4523. 17,187.4

1-7. Scrap proceed. 43,000. 0.4523. 19,448.9

---------------

PV. 133,363.7

----------------

Discount Factor is calculated thus

(1 + r)-∧n , since r = 12% ,n = 7 (1+0.12)∧-7 = 0.4523

8years replacement

Yr. Particular. CF. DF. PV

0. Purchase cost. 170,000 1. (170,000)

1-7. Running cost. (38,000) 0.4523. 17,187.4

1-7. Scrap proceed 43,000. 0.4523. 19,448.9

8 Scrap proceed 43,000. 0.4523. 19,448.9

-------------------

113,914.8

--------------------------

Finding the 7years replacement at the cost of capital using (1+r)∧-n/r

= (1+0.12)∧-7 -1/0.12

= (1.12)∧-7 -1/0.12

= 0.4523-1/0.12

=0.5477/0.12

= 4.5642

Therefore Equivalent Annual Cost

= 133,363.7/4.5642

= $29,219.51

8years replacementat the cost of capital using

(1+r)∧n -1/r

(1+0.12)∧-8 -1/0.12

=(1.12)∧-8 -1/0.12

= 0.4038 -1/0.12

=0.5962/0.12

=4.9683

EAC = 113,914.8/4.9683

= $22,928.33

Since they are both cost we prefer the cheapest, that is 8 years replacement

Therefore the economic life of the machine is 8years

To calculate the AW, we use the formula

AW = -P ( P-S)(A/P r n ) - Sr

AW= -(170,000 - 43,000) ( A/P 12% 7) - 43,000 (0.12)

To calculate (A/P r n ),we use the formula

A= P i (1+ r)∧n/ (1 + r )∧n - 1

0.12 (1+0.12)∧7/(1+0.12)∧7-1

= 0.12 ( 1.12)∧7/(1.12)∧7 -1

0.12 (2.210681407)/1.21061407

= 0.265281768/1.210681407

= 0.2191

AW = -127,000,000 (0.2191) --38,000 - 43,000 (0.12)

= 27,825.7 - 5,000 (0.12)

= 27,825.7 - 600

= $27,225.7

Therefore the economic life is 8years, Annual worth is $27,225.7

______ are any assets that a firm can draw on when formulating and implementing a strategy.
qaws [65]

Resources are any assets that a firm can draw on when formulating and implementing a strategy.

Resource based view is strategy based model that considers an organization's resources as a key to sustainable competitive advantage. The supporters suggests that a firm should look inside the company to find the sources of competitive advantage, instead of looking at the external competitive environment.

  According to the Resource based view there are two types of resources: Tangible assets and intangible assets. Tangible assets are physical things such as land, building, machinery, equipment etc. Organizations can easily acquire them in market, so they confer little advantage. Intangible are assets that have no physical presence, such as brand reputation, trademark, etc. They play a significant role in sustaining of a firm as its competitors can't acquire these internal assets.

kozerog [31]

Answer:

The answer is: 74% of its customers carry a credit card the store will accept.

Explanation:

  • Let A denote the event a customer carries American Express credit card (24%)
  • Let V denote the event a customer carries Visa credit card (61%)
  • Let AV denote the event a customer carries both credit cards (11%)

P(A ∪ V) = probability that a customer carries at least one credit card

P(A ∪ V) = P(A) + P(V) − P(AV)

P(A ∪ V) = 0.24 + 0.61 − 0.11 = 0.74
