Two investments involving a virtual mold apparatus for producing dental crowns qualify for different property classes. Investment A has a cost of $50,100, lasts 9 years with no salvage value, and costs $150,000 per year in operating expenses. It is in the 3-year property class. Investment B has a cost of $80,500.00, lasts 9 years with no salvage value, and costs $125,000 per year. Investment B, however, is in the 7-year property class. The company marginal tax rate is 25%, and MARR is an after-tax 10%. a. Based upon the use of MACRS-GDS depreciation, compare the AW of each alternative. AWA = $ -119375 AWB = $ Which should be selected? (Investment A; Investment B) Investment B b. What must be Investment B's cost of operating expenses for these two investments to be equivalent? $ Round your answer to 2 decimal places. The tolerance is ± 10. -99691

A company plans to expand its business with a new investment of 1,200 million. With an estimated revenue of 400 million per year from year 2 to 7, thereafter decreasing gradient by 15 million per year. The operational costs incurred are 50 million per year and will increase in a gradient of 10 million per year. The investment life is predicted to be 12 years with a residual value of 500 million. There is a lump-sum income of 300 million in year 6, and there is an overhaul fee of 100 million in year 7. If the interest rate is assumed to be 10%. Question : 1. Is this investment feasible to run? Give an explanation with using the calculation of Annual Worth analysis. 2. Draw a flow chart with a time horizon of 12 years.

For the operation of part R-193, two operations are being considered. The capital investment associated with each operation is identical. Each completed part can be sold at Php 7 per part. Operation 1 produces 2,000 parts per hour. After each hour, the tooling must be adjusted by the machine operator. The adjustment takes 20 minutes. The machine operator for Operation 1 is paid Php350 per hour. Operation 2 produces 1,300 parts per hour, but the tooling needs to be adjusted by the operator only once every two hours. The adjustment takes 30 minutes. The machine operator for Operation 2 is paid Php 192.5 per hour. Assume an 8-hour work day. Further assume all parts produced can be sold. Should operation 1 or Operation 2 be recommended?
SITUATION 3: A machine used for cutting materials in a factory has the following outputs per hour at various seeds and required periodic tool regrinding at the intervals cited. Seed Outputs per hour Tool regrinding A 200 pieces Every 8 hours B 280 pieces Every 5 hours A set of tools cost P12,600 and can be ground twenty times. Each regrinding costs P540.00 and the time needed to regrind and change tools is 1 hour. The machine operator is paid P350.00 per hour including the time the tool is changed. The tool grinder who also sets the tools to the machine is paid P400.00 per hour. The hourly rate chargeable against the machine is P380.00 regardless of machine seed. Which seed is the most economical?
Two alternative designs are under consideration for a tapered fastening pin. The fastening pins are sold for $0.70 each. Either design will serve equally well and will involve the same material and manufacturing cost except for the lathe and drill operations. Design A will require 12 hours of lathe time and 5 hours of drill time per 1,000 units. Design B will require 7 hours of lathe time and 8 hours of drill time per 1,000 units. The variable operating cost of the lathe, including labor, is $18.60 per hour. The variable operating cost of the drill, including labor, is $16.90 per hour. Finally, there is a sunk cost of $5,000 for Design A and $9,000 for Design B due to obsolete tooling. Which design should be adopted if 250,000 units are sold each year? What is the annual saving over the other design?
The X division of XYZ Company is currently operating at 60% capacity or 6,000 units. It produces a single product and sells all its production to outside customers for $17.50 per unit. Variable costs are $7 per unit, and fixed costs are $6 per unit at the current production level. Division Y, which currently purchases this product from an outside supplier for $16 per unit, would like to purchase the product from Division X. Division X will operate at 80% capacity to meet outside customers' and Division Y's demand. 1. What will be the increase (decrease) in total company’s profit if Division X transfers to Division Y (in total)?
Consider the following investment opportunity: Capital Investment (End of Year 0) Expenses (per year) Revenues (geometric series) $450,000 $25,000 $60,000 in the first year, increasing 5% per year following Market value (End of Year 20) Study Period (years) MARR (per year) $90,000 20 years 10% 10% Interest Table
Machine A costs Q10,000.00, with a recovery value of Q4,000.00 at the end of 5 years and has annual expenses ofoperation of Q5,000.00 during the first three years and Q6,000.00 during the last 2. Machine B costsQ14,000.00, with a recovery value of Q3,000.00 at the end of 10 years. Its operating expenses amount to Q3,500.00annually during the 5 years and Q4,500.00 during the last 5.
