5. Ocean water contains 25 grams of gold per ton. Method A costs P27,500 per ton of water processed and will recover 90% of the metal. Method B costs P20,000 per ton of water processed and will recover 60% of the metal. The two methods require the same capital investment and can produce the same amount of gold each day. If the extracted gold can be sold for P87,500 per 30 grams, which method should be recommended? The supply of ocean water is essentially unlimited. Hint: Work this problem based on profit per gram of gold extracted.

- Ocean water contains 0.9 ounce of gold per ton. Method A costs $230 per ton of water processes and will recover 85% of the metal. Method B costs $270 per ton of water processed and will recover 65% of the metal. The two methods require the same investment and are capable of producing the same amount of gold each day. If the extracted gold can be sold for $400 per ounce, which method of extraction should be used? Assume that the supply of ocean water is unlimited.

- 13.12 You work for Bellevue Window Products. While performing an analysis for a new window prod- uct, you found a report from last year that pro- vided the following information regarding the manufacture of a similar product: annual produc- tion rate T 40,000 units; selling price = $70 per unit; fixed production cost = $240,000 per year; variable production cost = $1,700,000 per year; variable selling expenses = $96,000 per year. As a first-cut, you decide to use this information to estimate (a) the breakeven production rate per year, (b) the company's profit last year, and (c) the annual production rate that would generate a profit of $1,000,000 per year. What are your estimates?The following information relates to the operations of a company; cost per unit from supplier- GHC80, variable cost per unit GHC40 and total fixed cost of GH¢300000. The company determines its selling price by adding a margin of 20%. What is the breakeven quantity? O A. 5556units B. 6665units OC. 5000units D. 6000units3. In a waterflooded mature oil field, a large scale polymer-flooding project is evaluated with a small-scale pilot-test being considered to make a decision. Without the pilot test, the existing waterflooding will continue with an estimated NPV of $36 MM USD. Historically, polymer-flooding pilot tests resulted with promising results in 65% of the cases, and results are representative for large-scale flooding in 70% of the cases (can be considered as right data are collected). • In the case of a promising pilot-test, large scale project will have an NPV of $80 MM, but if the pilot test is not representative (is wrong), this will result in a loss of $40 MM USD. • In the case of a not-promising pilot-test, existing waterflood will continue as it is, with an NPV of $36 MM USD. Calculate the value-of-information of the pilot test, by considering Lohrenz's Method.
