EDP is trying to decide between two different conveyor belt systems. System A costs $438,000, has a six-year life, and requires

$83,000 in pretax annual operating costs. System B costs $369,000, has a five-year life, and requires $92,000 in pretax annual operating costs. Both systems are to be depreciated straight-line to zero over their lives and will have a zero salvage value. Whichever system is chosen, it will not be replaced when it wears out. The tax rate is 23 percent and the discount rate is 14.2 percent. Which system should the firm choose and why?

The firm should choose system A because it has a six-year life and a lesser annual operating cost.                                                                  

<u>Explanation</u>:

  • Even though system A costs $438,000 the quality of the system is good. The quality of system A has a six-year life. So the quality is pretty good. It has an $83,000 tax annual operating cost.
  • System B costs $369,000 . Compared to the cost of system A, system B is low. But it has a $92,000 tax annual operating cost. This tax is higher than A.
  • System A has a higher life compared to system B. So the firm should choose system A.

MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

<h2>In this case,the answer would be option D. or It can be a source of competitive advantage for a period of time.</h2>

Explanation:

  • In Production Economics,any organizational input in the production process can provide competitive advantage to any firm or company for a sustainable period of time only if it provides commercial or economic value to the firm or company,it is unique and it cannot be completely imitable or substituted through other equivalent resource/s by other market competitors.
  • Therefore,if any organization resource or input is easily imitated then it cannot ensure long term or sustainable competitive advantage for any firm or company in the market.
  • However,it can provide some temporary market advantage or competitive edge to any particular firm or company until the time it is fully imitated and implemented by its competitors or rivals.

mario62 [17]

Answer:

Cost of capital = 12.40%

Explanation:

given data

cost of equity = 15.4 percent

pretax cost of debt = 8.9 percent

debt-equity ratio = 0.46

tax rate = 34 percent

to find out

What is the cost of capital for this project

solution

first we get Equity multiplier that is express as

Equity multiplier = 1 + debt-equity ratio  ..................1

put here value

Equity multiplier = 1 + 0.46

Equity multiplier = 1.46

and

Weight of equity will be

Weight of equity = \frac{1}{Equity\ multiplier}    ....................2

put here value

Weight of equity = \frac{1}{1.46}

Weight of equity =  0.6849

and

Weight of Debt will be here

Weight of Debt = 1 -  weight of equity    ...........................3

put here value

Weight of Debt =  1 - 0.6849

Weight of Debt =   0.3151

so

Cost of capital will be here as

Cost of capital = Weight of Debt  × pretax cost of debt ×  (1- tax rate )  + cost of equity ×  Weight of equity    .....................4

put here value we get    

Cost of capital = 0.3151 × 8.9% × (1 - 0.34) + 15.4% × 0.6849

Cost of capital = 12.40%
