Complete Question:
You are considering the purchase of a new machine to help produce a new product line being introduced. The machine is expected to have a setup time of 10 minutes per batch and a processing time of 2 minutes per part. You plan to have batch sizes of 50 parts. The plant operates 8 hours per day.
What is the capacity of the machine in batches per day?
Answer:
The capacity of the machine in batches = 4 batches per day.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Set up time per batch = 10 minutes
Processing time per part = 2 minutes
Batch sizes = 50 parts
Plant operation = 8 hours per day
b) Capacity in batches per day:
Total batch time = 10 + 50 * 2 = 110 minutes
Total minutes of operation per day = 8 * 60 = 480 minutes
Capacity in batches = 480/110 = 4.36 or approximately 4 batches
c) Each batch produces 50 parts with each part taking some 2 minutes and an additional batch setup time of 10 minutes, giving a total of 110 minutes per batch. Since there are some 480 (8 * 60) minutes available per day, it means that the entity can only run about 4 batches (480/110) per day. These 4 batches will consume a total of 440 minutes (110 x 4), leaving some 40 minutes as unutilized time.

Answer:
3 1/3 years
Explanation:
Payback period is the time required for the inflows from a project to be equal to the initial outflow for the project. It is a key consideration in capital budgeting. It is usually assumed that the outlay or initial outflow is made in year 0 and the first inflow comes in after a year.
Year Cash outflow Cash inflow Balance
0 ($50,000) - ($50,000)
1 - $15,000 ($35,000)
2 - $15,000 ($20,000)
3 - $15,000 ($5,000)
4 - $15,000 $10,000
5 - $15,000 $25,000
Hence the payback period
= 3 years and 5000/15000 * 12 months
= 3 years 4 months
= 3 1/3 years
Answer:
American Explorations current WACC is 9%
Explanation:
The computation of WACC is shown below:
= (Cost of equity × equity percentage) + (after-tax cost of debt × debt percentage)
= (12% × 50%) + (6% × 50%)
= 6% + 3%
= 9%
Since we have to compute only current WACC so we considered the 50-50 ratio. Hence, we ignored 70% cost of debt
WACC shows a relationship between debt, equity and the preferred stock.
Answer:
b.
Explanation:
Based on the scenario being described within the question it can be said that the Alabama court is not likely to have jurisdiction over the case. Mainly due to the fact that the company that is being sued does not have a headquarters located in Alabama and does not physically or intentionally contact individuals from Alabama to conduct business with.
