Problem 2 A laser-cutting machine is purchased today for $23,000. There are no maintenance costs for the next 2 years. Maintenance at the end of year 3 is expected to be $2,000 with the subsequent years' maintenance costs each exceeding the previous year by $1000. An increase in revenues of $14,000 per year is expected. The planning horizon is 6 years. Draw the cash flow diagram.

Problem 3-11 Future Value of Reduced Spending [LO3-4] Brenda plans to reduce her spending by $80 a month. Calculate the future value of this increase in savings over the next 10 years. (Assume an annual deposit to her savings account, and an annual interest rate of 4 percent.) (Exhibit 1-A, Exhibit 1-B, Exhibit 1-C, Exhibit 1-D) Note: Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided. Round time value factor to 3 decimal places and final answer to 2 decimal places. Future value

You work for the Brad's Nailer Company which manufactures three types of nailers: a pneumatic model, the "ProLine", and a cordless model. You have contracted to supply a national retail chain with all three models of nailers. However, Brad's nailer production capability is limited in three departments: production, testing, and packaging. The goal is to maximize your revenue. Your answer will be the number packaging hours to be produced (The number of nailers must be a whole number.) Use Scenario 2

Dohini Manufacturing company had following 12 months of data on purchasing cost and number of purchase orders. Required: 1. Determine the high point and low point. 2. Calculate the variable rate for purchasing cost based on the number of purchase orders. (Round to nearest cent) 3. Calculate the fixed monthly cost of purchasing.(Round to nearest dollar). 4. Write the cost formula for the purchasing activity showing the fixed cost and the variable rate. 5. If Dohini manufacturing company estimates that next month will have 430 purchase orders, what is the total estimated purchasing cost for the that month?(Round to nearest dollar) 6. What if Dohini manufacturing wants to estimate purchasing cost for the coming year and expects 5340 purchase orders? What will estimated total purchasing cost be? What is the total fixed purchasing cost? Why doesn't equal the fixed cost calculated in Requirement 3?(Round to nearest dollar)

1. New Robotic Procedure (annuitisation focus) You have been asked to evaluate a new Robotic procedure for stroke rehabilitation which North- South Hospital is thinking of routinely providing. The Hospital first want to run a RCT to see if the cost is "worth it". The up-front cost of the actual robot is $300,000. There is an annual maintenance contract of $20,000 per annum. At the end of 5 years the robot will need to be replaced but will have a re-sale value of $20,000. 1a. What is the net present value of the robot? (Include the maintenance costs) and use a 5% discount rate. Hint – Use Drummond's first method (page 95 & 96 for simplicity). 1b. Now you need to work out the cost per procedure/person in order to undertake the economic evaluation. You have been provided with the following information: 1c. The site can provide 10 sessions per day per robot and 2 patients per session can be accommodated. What is the cost per session of the robot alone? What is the cost per session…

Problem 1. During your first month as an employee at Greenfield Industries (a large drill- bit manufacturer), you are asked to evaluate alternatives for producing a newly designed drill bit on a turning machine. Your boss' memorandum to you has practically no information about what the alternatives are and what criteria should be used. The same task was posed to a previous employee who could not finish the analysis, but she has given you the following information: An old turning machine valued at $350,000 exists (in the warehouse) that can be modified for the new drill bit. The in-house technicians have given an estimate of $40,000 to modify this machine, and they assure you that they will have the machine ready before the projected start date (although they have never done any modifications of this type). It is hoped that the old turning machine will be able to meet production requirements at full capacity. An outside company, McDonald Inc., made the machine seven years ago and can…

Ritz Products’s materials manager, Tej Dhakar,must determine whether to make or buy a new semiconduc-tor for the wrist TV that the firm is about to produce. Onemillion units are expected to be produced over the life cycle.If the product is made, start-up and production costs of themake decision total $1 million, with a probability of .4 thatthe product will be satisfactory and a .6 probability that itwill not. If the product is not satisfactory, the firm will haveto reevaluate the decision. If the decision is reevaluated, thechoice will be whether to spend another $1 million to redesignthe semiconductor or to purchase. Likelihood of success thesecond time that the make decision is made is .9. If the secondmake decision also fails, the firm must purchase. Regardlessof when the purchase takes place, Dhakar’s best judgment ofcost is that Ritz will pay $.50 for each purchased semiconduc-tor plus $1 million in vendor development cost.a) Assuming that Ritz must have the semiconductor…

* 00 A toy manufacturer has three different mechanisms that can be installed in a doll that it sells. The different mechanisms have three different setup costs (overheads) and variable costs and, therefore, the profit from the dolls is dependent on the volume of sales.
