To calculate how long it would take for the new refrigerator to pay for
itself in lower utility costs, the cost of new refrigerator will be divided by lower utility cost per
year
Cost of new refrigerator = $598
TO CALCULATE LOWER UTILITY COST PER YEAR
At a cost of only 12 cents per day
Annual cost will be 12 X 365 = 4380 Cents ($43.8)
Cost saved annually = Cost of old refrigerator – Cost of new
refrigerator.
Lower utility cost per year = $132 – $43.8
Lower utility cost per year = $88.2
How long would it take for the new refrigerator to pay for
itself in lower utility costs?
$598 ÷ $88.2
= 6.78 years

Answer:
C. 1.40x
Explanation:
1. Production:
November through February: x rakes/month* 4 months = 4x rakes.
2. Shipping and storage costs
March= 4x (initial stock) - x/2 (shipped) = 3.5 x (in stock) * 0.1$ = $0.35
April = 3.5x (stock at end of March) - x/2 (shipped) = 3x*0.1$ = $0.30
May = 3x (stock at the end of April) - x/2 (shipped) = 2.5x*0.1$ = $0.25
June= 2.5x (stock at the end of May) - x/2 (shipped) = 2x (in stock) * $0.1 = 0.2$
July = 2x (stock at end of June) - x/2 (shipped) = 1.5x*0.1$ = $0.15
August = 1.5x (stock at the end of July) - x/2 (shipped) = 1x*0.1$ = $0.1
Sept= 1x (stock at the end of August.) - x/2 (shipped) = 0.5 x (in stock) * $0.1 = $0.05
October = 0.5x (stock at end of sept.) - x/2 (shipped) = 0*$0.1 = $0
Total storage cost= $0.35x+$0.30x+$0.25x+$0.20x+$0.15x+$0.10x+$0.05x+$0x
Total storage cost = $1.40X
