Labor cost for set-up is $500/hour. The plant plans on level material use and operates 50 days per year to satisfy an annual demand of 5000 units. Dailty production is projected to be 1000 units and lot size is 700. Annual holding cost per unit is projected to be $25. Calculate the time it takes to setup.

A project requires an initial investment in equipment of $96,600 and then requires an initial investment in working capital of $14,400 (at t= 0). You expect the project to produce sales revenue of $131,000 per year for three years. You estimate manufacturing costs at 60 percent of revenues. (Assume all revenues and costs occur at year-end [i.e., t= 1, t= 2, and t=3]). The equipment depreciates using straight-line depreciation over three years. At the end of the project, the firm can sell the equipment for $12,420 and recover the investment in net working capital. The corporate tax rate is 21 percent and the cost of capital is 15 percent. Calculate the NPV of the project. Multiple Choice O O O $4,679 -$3,574 $13,573
A rotational molding operation has fixed costs of $6.000 per year and variable costs of $54 per unit. If the process is automated via conveyor, its fixed cost will be $39,000 per year, but its variable cost will be only $10 per unit. Determine the number of units each year necessary for the two operations to break even. The number of units each year necessary for the two operations to break even is determined to be
A rotational molding operation has fixed costs of $10,000 per year and variable costs of $52 per unit. If the process is automated via conveyor, its fixed cost will be $43,000 per year, but its variable cost will be only $10 per unit. Determine the number of units each year necessary for the two operations to break even. The number of units each year necessary for the two operations to break even, (in units) Round to the nearest two (2) decimal places
A manual assembly line is being designed for a product with annual demand = 100,000 units. The line will operate 50 wks/year, 5 shifts/wk, and 7.5 hr/shift. Work units will be attached to a continuously moving conveyor. Work content time = 42.0 min. Assume line efficiency E = 0.97, balancing efficiency Eb = 0.92, and repositioning time Tr = 6 sec. Determine: (a) hourly production rate to meet demand, (b) number of workers required.
A company’s demand for a given component for the next 10 years is expected to be 1800/year. They have two options to have the component available for their production requirements, buying (option A) or making the component (option B). Details of the two options are given below: Option A : Three machines X,Y, and Z are needed to produce the component with initial costs of $100,000, $120,000, and $140,000 respectively. Salvage values for X,Y, and Z are $20,000, $30,000, and $40,000. Since the production process will continue for 10 years, an additional unit of any machine will be available for the same price (initial cost) , when needed, and will have the same salvage value at the end of its useful life. Useful lives are 10,5,10 years for machines X,Y, and Z respectively. A total production costs per year is estimated to be $80,000/year. Option B: Buying the component for $100 and saving an amount of $50000/year from utilizing the saved space for different purposes. Use i= 10% to…

Danford Company, a manufacturer of farm equipment, currently produces 20,000 units of gas filters per year for use in its lawn-mower production. The costs, based on the previous year's production, are reported below. It is anticipated that gas-filter production will last five years. If the company continues to produce the product in-house, annual direct material costs will increase $3000/year (For example, annual material costs during the first production year will be $63,000.) Direct labor will also increase by $5000/year. However, variable overhead costs will increase at the rate of $2000/year and the fixed overhead will remain at its current level over the next five years. John Holland Company has offered to sell Danford 20,000 units of gas filters for $25 per unit. If Danford accepts the offer, some of the manufacturing facilities currently used to manufacture the filter could be rented to a third party for $35,000 per year. The firm's interest rate is known to be 15%. What is the…
Aria Acoustics, Incorporated (AA), projects unit sales for a new 7-octave voice emulation implant as follows: Year Unit Sales 1 2 3 4 5 74,400 79,800 85,400 82,700 69,500 Production of the implants will require $1,480,000 in net working capital to start and additional net working capital investments each year equal to 15 percent of the projected sales increase for the following year. Total fixed costs are $3,800,000 per year, variable production costs are $143 per unit, and the units are priced at $325 each. The equipment needed to begin production has an installed cost of $18,500,000. Because the implants are intended for professional singers, this equipment is considered industrial machinery and thus qualifies as 7-year MACRS property. In five years, this equipment can be sold for about 20 percent of its acquisition cost. The tax rate is 23 percent and the required return is 17 percent. (MACRS schedule) a. NPV b. IRR a.
