A local car dealer is advertising a standard 36-month lease of $900 per month for its new XT 3000 series sports car.
The standard lease requires a down payment of $3,200, plus a $1,200 refundable initial deposit now. The first lease
payment is due at the beginning of month 1. In addition, the company offers a 36-month lease plan that has a single
up-front payment of $21,900, plus a refundable initial deposit of $1,200. Under both options, the initial deposit will be
refunded at the end of month 36. Assume an interest rate of 6% compounded monthly. With the present-worth
criterion, which option is preferred?
The present worth of the standard lease option is $

18 years and with 20% terminal salvage value. Annual disbursements for operation and
maintenance will be 50,000. Annual property taxes will be 2% of the first cost.
Plan S requires an immediate investment of 300,000 in property that has an estimated life of
18 years with 20% terminal salvage value. Annual disbursements for its operation and
maintenance during the first 6 years will be 40,000. After 6 years, an additional investment of

The estimated opening balance in the beginning of the next year: finished goods: 4000 units; P: 6000 units; Q: 10000 units.
The desirable closing balance at the end of the next year: finished product: 6000 units: P: 10000 units: Q: 12000 units.
Which of the following shows the total cost of raw materials (OMR) to be purchased in Material Purchase Budget.

This product can be produced in one of several ways: (a) using the present assembly line at a cost of $20 per unit, (b) using the current assembly line after it has been overhauled (at a cost of $5,000) with a cost of $18 per unit; and (c) on an entirely new assembly line (costing $30,000) designed especially for the new product with a per unit cost of $15. Barbour is worried, however, about the impact of competition. If no competition occurs, they expect to sell 10,000 units the first year. With competition, the number of units sold is expected to drop to 6,000. At the moment, their best estimate is that there is a 40% chance of competition. They have decided to make their decision based on the first-year sales. (a) Develop a decision table showing the payoffs. (b) What decision should they make?
