An airport needs a modern material handling system for facilitating access to and from a busy maintenance hangar. A​ second-hand

system will cost​ $75,000. A new system with improved technology can decrease labor hours by​ 20% compared to the used system. The new system will cost​ $150,000 to purchase and install. Both systems have a useful life of five years. The market value of the used system is expected to be​ $20,000 in five​ years, and the market value of the new system is anticipated to be​ $50,000 in five years. Current maintenance activity will require the used system to be operated eight hours per day for 20 days per month. If labor costs​ $40 per hour and the MARR is​ 1% per​ month, which system should be​ recommended?

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

<u> Determine the system that should be recommended</u>

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

The current rates for an 80/20 mortgages are 4.15% for the first mortgages and 9.75% for the second mortgage. On a $200,000 30 y
olganol [36]

Answer: The actual rate of the mortgage is 5.27%.

Since we're taking two mortgages for a total of $200,000 for 30 years, we can find the actual rate of the mortgage by finding the weighted average of the two rates. The weights in this case will be the proportion of loan taken at each rate

We have

Rates       Weights      Rates * Weights

4.15            0.80     4.15 * 0.80 = 3.32

9.75             0.20    9.75 * 0.20 = 1.95      

Total                                             5.27%

Answer:

Please find the detailed answer as follows

Explanation:

The case is pretty simple, and I’ll to be simple in explanation below:

Facts:  

--Transfer price per unit should be atleast equal to the relevant cost per unit.

--Relevant cost per unit = Variable cost per unit + Contribution margin lost + Avoidable fixed cost.

--Since it is stated that fixed cost wont be affected and that there is idle capacity available, there wont be any ‘Contribution margin lost’ on outside sale AND ‘avoidable fixed cost.  

--If Division A transfers, it would transfer at the relevant cost of $ 19 per unit, which is equal to the variable cost per unit.  

--If Division A didn’t transfer, Division B will buy from outside at rate of $ 24 per unit.

Hence, Division B will purchase $ 24 per unit when it could get from Division A at $ 19.

Thereby, Division will be paying $ 5 per unit extra on 16100 units.

Division B and hence, the company as a whole will be WORSE by $ 80,500

[16100 units x $ 5 per unit]

Correct Answer = Option #3: Worse off by $ 80,500 each period.

The same is illustrated as attached image.

How should emotional appeal in fund-raising messages be used? A. Using a mild appeal to convince people and avoid offending them
marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "B": Using sensory details to help people connect to a cause.

Explanation:

Sensory details are used in writing to attract readers' attention. Those details involve the use of the senses: <em>sight, sound, touch, smell, </em>and <em>taste</em>. Sensory details help information, whether written or spoken, to push the audience to interact with what us being prompted.  

<em>In case the objective of using sensory details for a fund-raising message, the writer, for instance, could talk about the need of collecting monetary resources to clean the river that crosses the bridge that connects the suburbs with the city because of its unpleasant bad smelling. The next time the reader goes through the bridge, the individual will likely pay attention to the smelling of the bridge to confirm what the author said, which will possibly lead him or her to contribute with the cleaning cause.</em>
