The table given below shows how, on average, the market value of a Boeing 737 has varied with its age and the cash flow needed in each year to provide a 12% return. (For example, if you bought a 737 for $19.83 million at the start of year 1 and sold it a year later, your total profit would be 18.06 + 4.15 – 19.83 = $2.38 million, 12% of the purchase cost.)

Isabel runs her family's small pineapple processing plant, which takes fresh pineapples and cuts them into pineapple rings, spears, and chunks. The capital stock of the firm consists of three machines of various vintages, each of which can process the pineapples into any of the three different forms. All of the machines are in excellent condition, and all machines can be running at the same time. Cost of processing per pineapple Maximum total capacity (pineapples) per day Machine 1 $ 0.10 250 Machine 2 0.25 400 Machine 3 0.50 500 (A) Assume that "cost of processing" includes all labor and materials, including the owner's wages. Assume further that Isabel's family signed a long-term contract (20 years) with a service company to keep the machines in good repair for a fixed fee of $1,825 per year, or $5 per day.1) Derive the firm's marginal cost curve.2) Derive the firm's total cost curve.(B) At a price of $0.40, how many pineapples would the company process?…

ABC company creates specialty shipping bags that they sell to pharmaceutical companies across the globe. With their current equipment, ABC can produce 12,000 shipping bags for every 10 bundles of materials purchased. Every month (20 working days), ABC purchases 100 bundles of materials. Each bundle requires one (1) labor minute to process, and every labor hour costs an average of $14.00. Each week (5 working days), ABC pays $5,000 inoverhead costs, and equipment costs $600 a day to operate. (a). How many shipping bags does ABC produce in a standard month (20 working days)? Each workday (8 hours)? (b). What is the single-factor productivity for labor, per workday (8 hours)? Whatis the multi-factor productivity, for every dollar spent per shipping bag?
Table: Taxi Fleet) Metro Cab is considering replacement of its fleet of old taxicabs. To replace its fleet, Metro must spend $150,000 on new taxicabs. The new taxis will incur $5,000 of maintenance expenses per year. Alternatively, Metro could spend $20,000 today to refurbish its taxicabs and incur an additional $20,000 per year of maintenance expenses for the next three years. Metro would then have to buy new taxicabs for $150,000 at the end of three years, leading to lower maintenance expenses of $5,000 per year. Using an interest rate of 10%, the net present value of the first three years is $____. 65,000 37,272.73 195,000 20,000

Pritta Consulting is a firm of consultants which operates in Argentina. An analysis of its monthly operating costs indicates that it has average variable costs given by: AVC=952 -0.048Q where AVC is in $ and Q is the number of services provided. Fixed costs are estimated at 36.000 $ per month. Pritta Consulting charges a fee of 800 $ for each service, and 20 per cent of this is paid to its consultants. Calculate the volume of services that must be sold to make a profit of 60.000 $ per month.

Your firm is considering adding a product line. The accounting department has determined that the cost function for this new product will be C(x) = 20x +4840 and the revenue function will be R(x) = 60x, where is the number of units sold. Additionally, the sales department has determined that you reasonably can expect to sell around 80 units. You must decide whether to go ahead with the new product line. Find the break-even quantity: Find the profit function: P(x) = Make your decision: O Cancel the product line: the quantity needed to break even is more than our firm can reasonably expect to sell. O Cancel the product line: producing these products is not profitable. O Proceed with the product line: the products are profitable and we can reasonably expect to meet our break-even quantity.

You are the marketing manager of the Business Unit (BU) that produces polystyrene (which is an input to making lightweight rigid foam). The current Demand/Supply balance, as measured by the ICIS price, is $800 per ton of polystyrene. The BU has 2 plants and can produce a total of 1800 tons. At full capacity utilization, the BU’s average variable cost equals $1300/t and its average total cost equals $1700/t.Plant 1 has a capacity of 600 tons and a marginal cost of $900/t. Plant 2 has capacity of 1200 tons and a marginal cost of $1500/t. Due to exit of one competitor, you expect next year’s polystyrene ICIS price to increase to $1200. 1. How much volume of polystyrene do you expect to produce next year, if any? 2. What is your expected contribution margin for next year? 3. What is your expected profit for next year?
