Chatham Automotive purchased new electric forklifts to move steel automobile parts two years ago. They cost
$65,000
each, including the charging stand. In practice, it was found that they did not hold a charge as long as claimed by the manufacturer, so operating costs are very high. As a result, their current salvage value is about
$9,000.
Chatham is considering replacing them with propane models. New propane forklifts cost
$58,000
each. After one year, they have a salvage value of
$40,000,
and thereafter decline in value at a declining-balance depreciation rate of
20
percent, as does the electric model from this time on. The MARR is
8
percent. Operating costs for the electric model will be
$19,000
this year, rising by
12
percent per year. Operating costs for the propane model will initially be
$11,000
over the first year, rising by
12
percent per year. Should Chatham Automotive replace the forklifts now?
Find EAC for both propane and elctric forklifts.

- The Tinkan Company produces one-pound cans for the Canadian salmon industry. Each year the salmon spawn during a 24-hour period and must be canned immediately. Tinkan has the following agreement with the salmon industry. The company can deliver as many cans as it chooses. Then the salmon are caught. For each can by which Tinkan falls short of the salmon industrys needs, the company pays the industry a 2 penalty. Cans cost Tinkan 1 to produce and are sold by Tinkan for 2 per can. If any cans are left over, they are returned to Tinkan and the company reimburses the industry 2 for each extra can. These extra cans are put in storage for next year. Each year a can is held in storage, a carrying cost equal to 20% of the cans production cost is incurred. It is well known that the number of salmon harvested during a year is strongly related to the number of salmon harvested the previous year. In fact, using past data, Tinkan estimates that the harvest size in year t, Ht (measured in the number of cans required), is related to the harvest size in the previous year, Ht1, by the equation Ht = Ht1et where et is normally distributed with mean 1.02 and standard deviation 0.10. Tinkan plans to use the following production strategy. For some value of x, it produces enough cans at the beginning of year t to bring its inventory up to x+Ht, where Ht is the predicted harvest size in year t. Then it delivers these cans to the salmon industry. For example, if it uses x = 100,000, the predicted harvest size is 500,000 cans, and 80,000 cans are already in inventory, then Tinkan produces and delivers 520,000 cans. Given that the harvest size for the previous year was 550,000 cans, use simulation to help Tinkan develop a production strategy that maximizes its expected profit over the next 20 years. Assume that the company begins year 1 with an initial inventory of 300,000 cans.arrow_forwardScenario 3 Ben Gibson, the purchasing manager at Coastal Products, was reviewing purchasing expenditures for packaging materials with Jeff Joyner. Ben was particularly disturbed about the amount spent on corrugated boxes purchased from Southeastern Corrugated. Ben said, I dont like the salesman from that company. He comes around here acting like he owns the place. He loves to tell us about his fancy car, house, and vacations. It seems to me he must be making too much money off of us! Jeff responded that he heard Southeastern Corrugated was going to ask for a price increase to cover the rising costs of raw material paper stock. Jeff further stated that Southeastern would probably ask for more than what was justified simply from rising paper stock costs. After the meeting, Ben decided he had heard enough. After all, he prided himself on being a results-oriented manager. There was no way he was going to allow that salesman to keep taking advantage of Coastal Products. Ben called Jeff and told him it was time to rebid the corrugated contract before Southeastern came in with a price increase request. Who did Jeff know that might be interested in the business? Jeff replied he had several companies in mind to include in the bidding process. These companies would surely come in at a lower price, partly because they used lower-grade boxes that would probably work well enough in Coastal Products process. Jeff also explained that these suppliers were not serious contenders for the business. Their purpose was to create competition with the bids. Ben told Jeff to make sure that Southeastern was well aware that these new suppliers were bidding on the contract. He also said to make sure the suppliers knew that price was going to be the determining factor in this quote, because he considered corrugated boxes to be a standard industry item. Is Ben Gibson acting legally? Is he acting ethically? Why or why not?arrow_forwardScenario 3 Ben Gibson, the purchasing manager at Coastal Products, was reviewing purchasing expenditures for packaging materials with Jeff Joyner.

- Grocers Inc. is considering offering a purified water service through a contract company that would locate a machine on the inside of the market store. There are two contract companies Grocers Inc. is considering, ClearWater and PureVida. ClearWater would charge an annual lease fee of $800 for set-up of the machine and for this machine, there is a utility cost of $0.10 for every gallon of water dispensed and ClearWater charges $0.05 for maintenance. For PureVida, the annual lease fee is $700, the utility cost is $0.12 for every gallon and PureVida charges $0.06 for maintenance. Grocers Inc. customers would purchase refilled gallons of water for $0.97.a. What is the annual break-even point for each option?b.

The production run is for 110,000 units. Design option A has a .90 probability of yielding 65good monitors per 100 and a .10 probability of yielding 70good monitors per 100. This design will cost $1,000,000. Design option B has a .80 probability of yielding 65good units per 100 and a .20 probability of yielding 60good units per 100. This design will cost $1,350,000. Good or bad, each monitor will cost $75. Each good monitor will sell for $150. Bad monitors are destroyed and have no salvage value. We ignore any disposal costs in this problem. Demonstrate how decision trees can be used in order to choose the design option based on the above situation.

- Mars Incorporated is interested in going to market with a new fuel savings device that attaches to electrically powered industrial vehicles. The device, code named "Python," promises to save up to 15% of the electrical power required to operate the average electric forklift. Mars expects that modest demand expected during the introductory year will be followed by a steady increase in demand in subsequent years. The extent of this increase in demand will be based on customer's expectations regarding the future cost of electricity, which is shown in Table 1. Mars expects to sell the device for $300 each, and does not expect to be able to raise its price over the foreseeable future. Mars is faced with two alternatives: ≻Alternative 1: Make the device themselves, which requires an initial outlay of $450,000 in plant and equipment and a variable cost of $175 per unit. ≻Alternative 2: Outsource the production, which requires no initial investment, but incurs a per unit cost…arrow_forwardSheffield Inc. wants to replace its current equipment with new high-tech equipment. The existing equipment was purchased 5 years ago at a cost of $129,000. At that time, the equipment had an expected life of 10 years, with no expected salvage value. The equipment is being depreciated on a straight-line basis. Currently, the market value of the old equipment is $43, 800. The new equipment can be bought for $176, 540, including installation. Over its 10-year life, it will reduce operating expenses from $192, 300 to $147, 200 for the first six years, and from $200, 400 to $190, 200 for the last four years. Net working capital requirements will also increase by $20, 600 at the time of replacement.It is estimated that the company can sell the new equipment for $24, 600 at the end of its life. Since the new equipment's cash flows are relatively certain, the project's cost of capital is set at 9%, compared with 15% for an average - risk project.

- The city of Winnipeg is considering whether to build a new public ice rink. This rink would have a capacity of 800 ice skaters per day, and the proposed admission fee is $6 per individual per day. The estimated cost of the ice rink, averaged over the life of the rink, is $4 per ice skater per day. The city of Winnipeg has hired you to assess this project. Fortunately, Ottawa already has an ice rink, and the city of Ottawa has randomly varied the price of that rink to find how price affects usage. The results from their study follow: Ice rink price Number of ice skaters per day $8 $10 $4 $6 $2 per day 500 200 1100 800 1400 a. If the ice rink is built as planned, what would be the net benefit per day from the ice rink? What is the consumer surplus for ice skaters? b. Given this information, is an 800-ice rink the optimally sized ice rink for Winnipeg to build?
