Diane Dennison is a financial analyst working for a large chain of discount retail stores. Her company is looking at the possibility of replacing the existing fluorescent lights in all of its stores with LED lights. The main advantage of making this switch is that the LED lights are much more efficient and cost less to operate. In addition, LED lights last much longer and will have to be replaced after ten years, whereas the existing lights have to be replaced after five years. Of course, making this change will require a large investment to purchase new LED lights and to pay for the labor of switching out tens of thousands of bulbs. Diane plans to use a 10-year horizon to analyze this proposal, figuring that changes to lighting technology will eventually make this investment obsolete. Diane's friend and coworker, David, has analyzed another energy-saving investment opportunity that involves replacing outdoor lighting with solar-powered fixtures in a few of the company's…

Amazon site BFI3 wants to test a new label scanner on their package sorter. The initial investment of the machine will be $2.5 million and the benefit due to cost savings will be $900,000 per year. Normal maintenance on the machine will cost $75,000 per year and they plan for major maintenance in year 7 of $500,000. At the end of the 10 year project life, they are able to sell the parts to another warehouse for $600,000. If the MARR is 11% what is the AEW of this project?
Consider a drill press containing three drill bits. The current policy (called individual replacement) is to replace a drill bit when it fails. The firm is considering changing to a block replacement policy in which all three drillbits are replaced whenever a single drill bit fails. Each time the drill press is shut down, the cost is $100. A drill bit costs $50, and the variable cost of replacing a drill bit is $10. Assume that the time to replace a drill bit isnegligible. Also, assume that the time until failure for a drill bit follows an exponential distribution with a mean of 100 hours. This can be modeled in @RISK with the formula 5RISKEXPON (100). (Note: If you have the academic version of @RISK, this problem will require more RISKEXPON functions than the 100 allowed, but there is an easy workaround. An exponentially distributed random variable can be generated with Excel functions only using the formula =-Mean*LN(RAND()). Then @RISK can still be used to run the simulation.)…

Light emitting diode (LEDs) light bulbs have become required in recent years, but do they make financial sense? Suppose a typical 60-watt incandescent light bulb costs $.35 and lasts for 1,000 hours. A 15-watt LED, which provides the same light, costs $2.90 and lasts for 12,000 hours. A kilowatt hour of electricity costs $.111. A kilowatt-hour is 1,000 watts for 1 hour. However, electricity costs actually vary quite a bit depending on location and user type. An industrial user in West Virginia might pay $.04 per kilowatt-hour whereas a residential user in Hawaii might pay $.25.. You require a return of 9 percent and use a light fixture 500 hours per year. what is the break even cost per kilowatt-hour
Can someone help me with part B of this problem?: Verasource Microprocessor Corporation sells 200 computer chips a month for $1,500 each. variable costs are $1,500,000. Fixed costs are $500,000. there's a defect rate of 8%. What is the hidden cost to the company of making this rate of defectives instead of 2,000 good chips each month? Suppose a six sigma effort can reduce the defects to a six sigma level. what is the impact on profitability?
Please help me. Thankyou.
