A manufacturer produces electronic devices at a labor cost of PhP 53 a piece and a material cost of PhP 53 a piece. The fixed charges on the company are PhP 4,036,701 a month and the variable costs are PhP 34 a piece. If the device sells for PhP 206 a piece, what will be the number of pieces that must be produced each month to breakeven. Express answer in whole number.

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?
A firm is must choose to buy the GSU-3300 or the UGA-3000. Both machines make the firm’s production process more efficient which in turn increases incremental cash flows. The GSU-3300 produces incremental cash flows of $24,998.00 per year for 8 years and costs $99,590.00. The UGA-3000 produces incremental cash flows of $29,475.00 per year for 9 years and cost $126,038.00. The firm’s WACC is 8.32%. What is the equivalent annual annuity of the GSU-3300? Assume that there are no taxes.

ABC enterprise demands 3,400 pieces of metal sheets manufactured by XYZ Metals. With the manual processing, the cutting cost is P 30.00 per unit. An automatic cutting machine was offered to XYZ Metals worth P 300,000, which will reduce the cutting cost by 25%. Without considering other costs, if the machine is bought, how long will XYZ Metals be able to regain the cost?
The fixed cost related to the production of a product is $500,000 per year. Assume that the variable cost is $20,000 and the sell- ing price is $30,000 for each percentage point of annual output capacity (which equals sales demand). Thus, the maximum sales per year are $3,000,000 (at 100% of output capacity), and we have: (2.3) C; = $500,000 per year C, $20,000/1% of annual output capacity (Fixed cost) (Variable cost/unit) p = $30,000/1%' of annual output capacity (Selling price/unit) a. Determine the breakeven point for this situ- ation.
An engineer analyzing cost data about hydrogen sulfide monitors discovered that the information for the first three years was missing. However, he knew the cost in year 4 was $1250 and that it increased by 5% each year thereafter. If the same trend applied to the first three years, the cost in year 1 was:a. $1312.50b. $1190.48c. $1028.38d. $1079.80
An outboard motor has an initial price of $1,080. A service contract costs $350 for the first year and increases $130 per year thereafter. The total cost of the outboard motor (in dollars) after n years is given by C(n) = 1,080 + 150n + 30n“, where n21. Complete parts (A) through (C). (A) Write an expression for the average cost per year, C(n), for n years. C(n) =O %D
A man is considering investing P500, 000 to open a semi-automatic auto-washing business in a city of 400, 000 population. The equipment can wash, on the average, 12 cars per hour, using two men to operate it and to do small amount of hand work. The man plans to hire two men, in addition to himself, and operate the station on an 8-hour basis, 6 days per week, 50 weeks per year. He will pay his employees P25. 00 per hour. He expects to charge P25. 00 for a car wash. Out-of-pocket miscellaneous cost would be P8, 500 per month. He would pay his employees for 2 week for vacations each year. Because of the length of his lease, he must write off his investment within 5 years. His capital now is earning 15%, and he is employed at a steady job that pays P25, 000 per month. He desires a rate of return of at least 20% on his investment. Would you recommend the investment? Answer Anual cost=700,960 Excess= 19, 040 All I need is a solution for the problem.
