Textbook Question
Chapter 11, Problem 33FE
A supermarket chain buys loaves of bread from its supplier at $0.50 per loaf. The chain is considering two options to bake its own bread.
Neither machine has a market value at the end of seven years, and MARR is 12% per year. Use this information to answer Problems 11-32, 11-33, and 11-34. Select the closest answer.
11-33. What is the minimum number of loaves that must be sold per year to justify installing Machine B instead of buying the loaves from the supplier?
- a. 37,529
- b. 15.637
- c. 22.076
- d. 75,059
- e. 7,506

An electronics firm is planning to manufacture a new handheld
gaming device for the preteen market. The data have been
estimated for the product. Assuming a negligible market (salvage)
value for the equipment at the end of five years, determine the
breakeven annual sales volume for this product.

As supervisor of a facilities engineering department, you consider mobile cranes to be critical equipment. The purchase of a new, medium-sized truck-mounted crane is being evaluated. The economic estimates for the two best alternatives are shown in the following table. MARR is at 15% per year. You can use the assumption of repeatability in this case.
