Chapter 2, Problem 9P
A company offers ID theft protection wing leads obtained from client banks. Three employees work 40 hours a week on the leads, at a pay rate of $25 per hour per employee. Each employee identifies an average of 3,000 potential lead, a week from a list of $ 5,000. An average of 4 percent actually sign up for the service, paying a one-time fee of $70. Material costs are $1,000 per week, and Overhead costs arc $9,000 per week. Calculate the multifactor productivity for this operation in fees generated per dollar of input.

The machine is required to have an immediate repair that costs $2,000. The estimated market values are expected to decline by 20% annually (going forward). The machine can be used for another 7 years at most. The new machine has a $40,000 purchasing price. The new machine's O&M cost is estimated to be $4,000 for the first year, decreasing at an annual rate of $100 thereafter. The firm's MARR is 10%. Assume a unique minimum AEC(10%) for both machines (both the current and replacement machine). Using the information above, determine the economic service life along with the optimum annual equivalent cost of the defender (This is an infinite Horizon decision problem). a) n=4 and AEC=Between $8,400 and $8,800 b) n=4 and AEC=Between $8,000 and $8,400 c) n=5 and AEC=Between $8,400 and…arrow_forward

You have been asked to submit a bid to produce 12 special clamps for a new die that is under construction. You estimate that the material costs (metal and fasteners) for each clamp are $150.00. You also estimate that 10.65 labor hours are needed to produce the first clamp. The value of your labor is $50/hour. From similar orders in the past, you estimate that there is a 90% learning curve for this type of work. Using this information, what is the lowest total bid (cumulative price for 12 clamps) you should submit if you charge a 25% markup on material and you wish to recoup your labor costs? Hint: set up formulas in Excel (see Moodle video). This is a long problem. Round your answer to 2 decimal places and DO NOT include the $ sign or a comma.
