A car rental agency is considering a modification in its oil change procedure. Currently, it uses a Type X filter, which costs $4.75 and must bechanged every 9,000 miles along with the oil (5 quarts). Between each oil change, one quart of oil must be added after each 500 miles. Theproposed filter (Type Y) has to be replaced every 6,000 miles (along with 5 quarts of oil) but does not require any additional oil between filterchanges. If the oil costs $1.19 per quart, what is the maximum acceptable price for the Type Y filter?Choose the correct answer below.A. The maximum acceptable price for the Type Y filter is $29.34.B. The maximum acceptable price for the Type Y filter is $14.67.C. The maximum acceptable price for the Type Y filter is $40.45.OD. The maximum acceptable price for the Type Y filter is $22.01.

The monthly demand for ice cans being manufactured by Mr. Cruz is 3k pieces. With a manually guillotine, the unit cutting cost is $50.00. An electrically operated hydraulic guillotine was offered to Mr. Cruz at a price of $350 and which will cut by 25% the unit cutting cost. Disregarding the cost of money, how many months will Mr. Cruz be able to recover of the machine if he decides to buy now?
Jenny Tanaka wants to buy a new car, and the annual gasoline expense is a major consideration. Her present car gets 25 miles per gallon (mpg), and she is considering purchasing a new car that gets 40 mpg. Jenny now drives about 12,000 miles per year and pays $3.25 per gallon of gasoline. She therefore calculates an annual gasoline consumption of 480 gallons for her 25 mpg car (12,000 miles/25 mpg) compared to 300 gallons consumed per year for the 40 mpg car (12,000 miles/40 mpg). Since driving the higher- mileage car would use 180 gallons less per year, Jenny estimates the new car will save her $585 in gasoline expense per year (180 gallons 3 $3.25 per gallon). Suppose Jenny buys the 40 mpg car. According to economic theory, Jenny's actual annual savings on gasoline will be 7 1 C 1 U C VI 10 V K W S TACAZEC 10 GUNS TOMBER 2 than her initial estimate of $585.
The student chapter of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers isplanning a six-day trip to the national conference in Albany, NY. For transportation, the group will rent a car from either the State Tech Motor Pool or a local car dealer. TheMotor Pool charges $0.36 per mile, has no daily fee, and pays for the gas. The local car dealer charges $30 per day and $0.20 per mile, but the group must pay for the gas. The car’s fuel rating is 20 miles per gallon, and the price of gas is estimated to be $2.00 per gallon. Solve, a. At what point, in miles, is the cost of both optionsequal? b. The car dealer has offered a special student discount and will give the students 100 free miles per day. What is the new breakeven point? c. Suppose now that the Motor Pool reduces its all-inclusive rate to $0.34 per mile and that the car dealer increases the rate to $30 per day and $0.28 permile. In this case, the car dealer wants to encourage student business, so he offers 900 free miles for the…
EMERGENCY! Production just informed management that one of its five glycol squeezers has been destroyed by a rogue computer virus. Production capability is now only 23000 gallons at most. The squeezer cannot be fixed and IceLess cannot afford a replacement. This breakdown will NOT lower fixed costs. This breakdown will not change variable cost per unit, either. If only 23000 gallons are produced, and the earning target remains $94400 above fixed costs, what price per gallon must now be charged? (show your calculations What is the Contribution Margin Ratio (CMR) if the price is $8.82 per gallon? At a price of $10.95 per gallon, what will be the DOL (assume 23000 gallons are sold , that $94400 above fixed costs is to be earned, and that other costs are as initially given)(show your calculations).

Smith Manufacturing is a major player in the lawn sprinkler business. Their high-end sprinkler is used commercially and is quite popular with golf course greens keepers. In producing these sprinklers Smith’s fixed cost (CF) is $50,000 per month with a variable cost (cv) of $10 per unit. The selling price for these high-end sprinklers is described by the equation p=$90 – 0.2(D). a) What is the optimal volume of sprinklers? b) Does Smith make a profit at that volume? Thank you.
