Lino Batumbakal is now exploring the option to start selling beef wellington. He is trying to find out how many must he sell in order to start earning money. From an initial feasibility study, he will incur a total of 200,000 pesos for equipments and other fixed expenses. He is planning to sell the wellington at 500 pesos for each incurring direct expenses of 150,000 pesos in the production. According to Lino Bataumbakal's feasibility study, should he start selling the beef wellington, he will have the following data: Price

2. Two machines are being considered for the production of a particular part for which there is a long-term demand. Machina A costs P50,000 and is expected to last 3 years and have a P10,000 salvage value. Machine B costs P75,000 and is expected to last 6 years and have zero salvage value. Machine A can produce a part in 18 seconds; Machine B requires only 12 seconds per part. The out-of-pocket hourly cost of operation is P38 for A and P30 for B. Monthly maintenance costs are P200 for A and P220 for B. If interest on invested capital is 25%, determine the number of parts per year at which the machines are equally economical. If the expected number of parts per year is greater than this break-even quantity, which machine would be favored? Use rate of return on additional investment method.
Assume this is January 2019. You’re running a Wine company that has 80% domestic sales and 20% export sales as measured by shipped bottles. Of the domestic sales, 50% is sold via the restaurant channel, 30% is sold to supermarket chains. You production capacity for this year 2019 is for 100,000(Q) bottles (from grapes processed in 2018) if you bottle this already this year. This wine is currently kept in wine casks (տակառ)․ If aged the wine will be more valuable. Land, cellar and casket capacity has been fixed since the establishment of your château (գինետուն). These are prices received (P) and costs per bottle (AC) per sales channel: Domestic Restaurant channel: Price – 3300AMD, Total Cost (AC) – 1900AMD Domestic Retail/supermarket channel: Price – 3600AMD, Total Cost – 1900AMD Export channel: Price – 13USD, Total Cost (incl. shipment) – 4100AMD Current exchange rate is 485AMD per 1 USD Is your product likely categorized by high or low price elasticity of demand?

Luther’s company has just received an order for 1,200 of its Flying Z machines. The customer wants 350 of them next year, 400 the year after, and the balance in the third year. Luther estimates that after one year of production, the average worker with this one year of experience can produce 12 machines per year. However, new workers are 25% less productive in the first year. He has 25 workers with at least one year of experience to work on the first year’s order. He will need to hire new workers for any production that exceeds what these workers can produce. To further complicate matters, he believes 10% of his current experienced workforce will turnover at the end of the first year and the number of workers from his current workforce should remain steady after that. His history also shows that only 75% of new hires stay after their first year. Given these facts, how many total people should Luther plan to hire over the duration of this order?

Recently, an Internet service provider (ISP) in the UK implemented a “no-strings US-style flat-rateplan” whereby its commercial subscribers can send and receive unlimited volume (measured ingigabytes) up to a cap of 10,000 gigabytes (per month) via their broadband Internet service for aflat monthly fee of £399.99. Under the old “metered plan,” Alistair Willoughby Cook sent andreceived a grand total of 3,500 gigabytes over their broadband connection and paid £399.99 inusage fees in a typical 30-day month.If all customers are exactly like Alistair, what is the impact of the flat-rate plan on consumerwelfare and the company’s profits? Explain.
Manitowac Crane is a US company that exports heavy crane equipment to several Chinese dock facilities. Sales are currently 150 units per year at the yuan equivalent of $24,000 each. The yuan currently trades at 6.35 yuan per dollar, but you predict it will fall to 7 yuan per dollar soon and stay there the entire year. Assume direct unit costs are 75% of the original US sales price in either scenario. Calculate gross profits in dollars if you raise the yuan price to offset the devaluation (keeping the dollar price the same) and suffer a 15% drop in volume.
Prob.#1 At the Motorola plant in Mesa, AZ, it is desired to determine whether one-inch-thick insulation or two-inch-thick insulation should be used to reduce heat loss from a long section of steam pipe. The heat loss from the pipe without any insulation would cost $2.00 per linear foot per year. The one- inch-thick insulation option will eliminate 88% of the heat loss and will cost $0.60 per foot. Two-inch insulation will eliminate 95% of the heat loss and will cost $1.10 per foot. The steam pipe is 1,000 feet in length and will last 10 years. MARR is 6% per year. Which insulation thickness should be recommended? Apply Equivalent Uniform Annual Worth technique. please show all work for each type.

The economically destructive price spike of 2007–2008 occurred when spare production capacity fell below 1 mbpd, causing a run-up in oil price from $50 to $145 per barrel. An issue for world oil spare capacity is the internal consumption of OPEC producers. OPEC production has ranged between 30 and 33 mbpd since 2004. Internal use is currently about 25% of total OPEC production, but it is growing by 2% per year. The internal consumption growth is largely for nonelastic end uses such as electricity generation, water treatment, and new buildings. If the current world spare capacity is 2 mbpd and the OPEC total production does not increase beyond 33 mbpd, how many years will it take for the spare capacity to fall below 1 mbpd again?
3. The unit cost in peso to produce a chemically formulated product is $13 and the fixed cost is $370. The price-demand function in dollars per unit is p=70-2D. Determine the following; Determine the optimal demand of this product and confirm that profit occurs at this demand. What is the demand that will give maximum revenue of this product and how much is the total revenue? Find the demand at which breakeven occurs and the range of profitability. 8. b. C.
Planning for a major redesign, Itumeleng collected data at her store on several consecutive Saturday mornings. She noticed that customers arrived at the checkout at a rate of approximately 100 per hour. Fully 20 percent of the customers had 10 items or less. Those people took about 2 minutes to serve on average, while customers with more than 10 items took about 4 minutes to process. Itumeleng expects service time to improve when universal price code readers are installed in the new design. Help Itumeleng with her design for the system,
