Determine the before-tax net annual cost savings that the new checkout machine will provide. Net annual cost savings 2-a. Using the data from (1) above and other data from the exercise,…

WORLD VIEW Tesla Starts Rolling Out Cars from Shanghai Gigafactory Elon Musk gambled a fortune in Reno, Nevada when he built a "gigafactory" to build thium batteries for Tesla electric vehicles.

When fully completed, the Reno facility will be the largest factory in the world, capable of producing enough battery packs for 500.000 cars a year. Musk says the sheer scale of the factory will enable Tesla to bring down the cost of battery packs by as much as 30 percent, the most expensive component of electric vehicles Musk has made the same bet again-this time in China. At a cost of $2 bilion, Tesla has built another gigatactory in Shanghai and is already producing Model 3 vehicles In 2020 Tesla hopes to build at least 35,000 cars, then ramp up to 500,000 cars annually in a few years. Given the success of the Reno plant, few investors want to bet against him. Source. Media reports of December 2019-January 2020…
