There are two competing alternatives in your textile business. A-type Tufting Machine costs $10,000 and B-Type Tufting Machine costs $10,000. A-type Tufting Machine can result in $7,000 labour savings in the first two years and $10.000 in year three. B-type Tufting Machine can result in $11.000 labour savings in the first two years. Assume MARR=20%. and find the difference between the net present worth of these two alternatives using infinite planning horizon with project repeatability. a) Between $6.480 and $6,700 b) Between $5.480 and $5,700

Paul's firm produces the same good as Sal's firm. The total cost of producing qp units in Paul's firm is Cp( qp ) = 8.6 qp + 1.1. The total cost of producing qs units in Sal's firm is Cs( qs ) = 8.6 qs + 1.1. What is the efficiency loss if each person's firm produces half of a total of 523 units?
An 8-hour shift at maximum production yields 8,000 units at your factory. Increasing sales and marketing will necessitate more manufacturing capacity because of increasing consumer demand. There is a lot depending on your decision as the plant manager about you doing overtime or adding an additional 8-hour shift. How many more goods of demand, above the 8,000 current productions, are required to make the 2nd shift cost worth it? Answer the following questions based on the information presented: A)There should always be 100 employees working in the factory. B)You pay each of your employees an hourly wage of $20. C)There is a 150 percent increase in overtime compensation. Please answer in detail and round your answer to the next solid number.
Problem 3 Sensitivity Analysis. A masonry plant produces four types of breeze-blocks (a type of brick made from concrete rather than clay). There are three stages of the manufacturing process which require labor: Mixing, Vibrating, and Inspection. During the next month, there are 700 machine-hours available for mixing, 1100 machine-hours for vibration, and 340 man-hours for inspection. Each variety of breeze-block has its own set of manufacturing requirements given in Table 1 below. Variety 1 2 Profit ($) 8 00 4 3 10 15 22 Mixing (Mhrs) 1 Vibrating (Mhrs) 1.5 2 4 Inspection (Mhrs) 0.5 0.6 1 2 2 5 8 5 Table 1: Required hours of labor for each process per one pallet of each variety of breeze-block.
