Explanation of Solution

Time period is denoted by ‘n’ and MARR is denoted by ‘i’. Time period 1 (n) is 40. Time period 2 (n1) is 20.

The present worth (PW) of Plan A can be calculated using the following formula:

PW=First cost+AOC×((1+i)n1i(1+i)n)+Salvage value×(1(1+i)n)        (1)

Substitute the respective values in Equation (1) to calculate the present worth of Plan A with the actual time period.

PW=10,000500((1+0.1)4010.1(1+0.1)40)+1,000×(1(1+0.1)40)=10,000500(9.7791)+1,000×(0.0221)=14,867

Thus, the present worth is -$14,867.

Location is denoted by ‘L’. Present worth (PW) of Plan B can be calculated using the following formula:

PW=(First costL 1+AOCL 1×((1+i)n1i(1+i)n)+Salvage valueL 1×(1(1+i)n)+First costL 2+AOCL 2×(1(1+i)n1)+First costL 2(1(1+i)n1)+Salvage valueL 2×(1(1+i)n)+AOCL 2×((1+i)n1i(1+i)n))        (2)

Substitute the respective values in Equation (1) to calculate the present worth of Plan B with the actual time period.

PW=(30,000100×((1+0.1)4010.1(1+0.1)40)+5000(1(1+0.1)40)5,000200×(1(1+0.1)20)5,000(1(1+0.1)20)200×(1(1+0.1)40)200×((1+0.1)4010.1(1+0.1)40))=(30,000100×(9.7791)+5000(0.0221)5,000200×(0.1486)5,000(0.1486)200×(0.0221)200×(9.7791))=38,600

Thus, the present worth is -$38,600.

Table 1 shows the value of present worth by changing the time period to different percentages that is obtained using Equations (1) and (2):

Table 1

MARRPW APW B
0.1-14,867-38,600
0.07-16,599-40,023
0.04-19,688-42,311

Table 1 reveals that at different levels of MARR, the present worth of alternate A is greater than alternate B. Thus, there is no sensitivity. Plan A is selected for different levels of MARR.

Price Quantity $26 0 The marketing department of $24 20,000 Johnny Rockabilly's record company $22 40,000 has determined that the demand for his $20 60,000 latest CD is given in the table at right. $18 80,000 $16 100,000 $14 120,000 The record company's costs consist of a $240,000 fixed cost of recording the CD, an $8 per CD variable cost of producing and distributing the CD, plus the cost of paying Johnny for his creative talent. The company is considering two plans for paying Johnny. Plan 1: Johnny receives a zero fixed recording fee and a $4 per CD royalty for each CD that is sold. Plan 2: Johnny receives a $400,000 fixed recording fee and zero royalty per CD sold. Under either plan, the record company will choose the price of Johnny's CD so as to maximize its (the record company's) profit. The record company's profit is the revenues minus costs, where the costs include the costs of production, distribution, and the payment made to Johnny. Johnny's payment will be be under plan 2 as…
