Answer:

b. NPW(SL): $33,738; NPW(DDB): $37,068; Recommendation: DDB

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

As we know that

Present value is

=  [Cash Flow ÷ (1 + Rate of Interest)^Year]

where,

Rate of Interest = 10%

Under Straight-line depreciation:

Beginning book value = $50,000

Salvage value = $5,500

So, the depreciationper year is

=  [($50,000 - $5,500) ÷ 5]

= $8,900

<u>Year    Beginning   Depreciation  End                 Present value </u>

<u>            book value                  book value of depreciation </u>

1            $50,000      $8,900        $41,100             $8,090.91

2           $41,100         $8,900        $32,200           $7,355.37

3           $32,200       $8,900         $23,300           $6,686.70

4           $23,300       $8,900         $14,400           $6,078.82

5           $14,400        $8,900         $5,500              $5,526.20

                                                                                  $33,738.00

Under Double declining depreciation:

Depreciation rate per year = (1 ÷ Useful  Life) × 100

= 1 ÷ 5 × 100

= 20%

Now for double-declining, the rate is doubled

So,

= 20% × 2

= 40%

<u>Year    Beginning   Depreciation  End                 Present value </u>

<u>            book value                  book value of depreciation </u>

1            $50,000      $20,000       $30,000           $18,181.82

2           $30,000       $12,000       $18,000            $9,917.36

3           $18,000       $7,200         $10,800            $5,409.47

4           $10,800       $4,320         $6,480             $2,950.62

5           $6,480       $980              $5,500            $608.50

                                                                                $37,068

Quarter-inch stainless-steel bolts, 1.5 inches long are consumed in a factory at a fairly steady rate of 50 per week. The bolts
natta225 [31]

Answer:

a.

EOQ = 2,944 units

b.

Setup cost = Numbers of Order x Ordering cost = $8.83

Holding Cost = $8.83

Explanation:

a.

Economic order quantity is the quantity at which business incur minimum cost. This is the level of order where the holding cost equals to the ordering cost of the business.

As per given data

Annual Demand = 50 per week x 52 weeks in a year = 2,600 bolts

Ordering cost = $10

Carrying cost = $0.03 x 20% = $0.006

EOQ =  \sqrt{\frac{2 X S X D}{H} }

EOQ = \sqrt{\frac{2 X 10 X 2,600}{0.006} }

EOQ = 2,943.92 = 2,944 units

b.

Setup cost = Numbers of Order x Ordering cost = (2,600 / 2,944) x $10 = $8.83

Holding Cost = (2,944 / 2) x $0.006 = $8.83
