Answer: 1,840Provide the solution. Mechanix is a machine shop and a papermanufacturing plant gave it a P100,000.00 budgetto fabricate a machine part needed for theirpreventive maintenance program. There are twomaterial options, steel, and alloy steel which haveapproximately the same weight per item which is0.36 kg. Steel costs P60.50 per kg and alloy costs P100 per kg. Two sets of lathe and milling machineswill do the work with their corresponding operatorsand each has an operating rate cost of P88.67perhour. Utilizing all available sets of machines, steelcan be fabricated at a rate of 20 pieces per hr andalloy can be done 16 pieces per hr but needs aspecial tool with a cost of P2000.00 good for 220pieces of finished alloy part.How much is the difference in terms of pcs ofSTEEL to that of ALLOY type can be manufacturedby Mechanix, in pcs?Choose the next whole number say for example,23.2= 24 pcs or 23.6= 24 pcs

The number of steel types that can be manufactured by mechanix is calculated as follows: Budget =…

5. A steel plant has to fill an order from an automobile manufacturer for 100 000 steel ball bearings 15 mm in diameter. What is the total weight of the metal required to fill this order, if steel weighs 75.5 kN/cubic meters?
A civil engineer working in a construction business needs 4800, 5810 and 5690 m³ of sand, fine gravel and coarse gravel respectively for a building project. There are three quarries where these can be bought. The compositions of these quarries are given in the table. How many m³ should be taken from each furnace to meet the engineer's requirement? Calculate using the Gauss-Seidel method. Continue your transactions until εa = 0.0004%. Note: Use at least 4 digits after the comma.
Subject: Engineering Economy Topic: Selections in the Present Economy The monthly demand for ice cans being manufactured by Mr. Cruz is 3,200 pieces. With a manually operated guillotine, the unit cutting cost is P25.00. An electrically operated hydraulic guillotine was offered to Mr. Cruz at a price of P275,000 and which will cut by 30% the unit cutting Disregarding the cost of money, how many months will Mr. Cruz be able to recover the cost of the machine if he decides to buy now?
A machine cost $45,000 to purchase. Fuel, oil grease,and minor maintenance are estimated to cost $12.34 peroperating hour. A set of tires cost $3,200 to replace, andtheir estimated life is 2,800 use hours. A $6,000 majorrepair will probably be required after 4,200hr of use. Themachine is expected to last for 8,400 hr, after which itwill be sold at a price equal to 10% of the originalpurchase price. A final set of new tires will not bepurchased before the sale. How much should the ownerof the machine charge per hour of use, if it is expectedthat the machine will operate 1,400 hr per year? Thecompany’s capital rate is 7%.
Given the table below, calculate the total cost for all the items needed. What would be the total estimate with a 15 percent contingency? If a 10 percent reserve is added, what would be the total estimate? Items Cost/Unit Quantity Wheel $500 12 Bearing $25 400 Clamp $5 40 Nozzle $7 30 Nut $2 40 Caster $55 120
The year-end operating costs of a certain machine are estimated to be 12,000 the first year and to increase by 2,500 each year during its 4-year life. A.) Is the gradient increasing or decreasing?B.) If capital is worth 12% determine the equivalent uniform year-end costs.
A light manufacturing firm has set up a project for develop- ing a new machine for one of its production lines. The most likely estimated cost of the project itself is $1,000,000, but the most optimistic estimate is $900,000 while the pessimists predict a project cost of $1,200,000. The real problem is that even if the project costs are within those limits, if the project itself plus its implementation costs exceed $1,425,000, the project will not meet the firm’s NPV hurdle. There are four cost categories involved in adding the prospective new machine to the production line: (1) engineering labor cost, (2) nonengineering labor cost, (3) assorted material cost, and (4) production line downtime cost. The engineering labor requirement has been estimated to be 600 hours, plus or minus 15 percent at a cost of $80 per hour. The nonengineering labor requirement is esti- mated to be 1,500 hours, but could be as low as 1,200 hours or as high as 2,200 hours at a cost of $35 per hour. Assorted…
Engineers determined that a small amount of newly available chemical additives would increase the resistance of a building material by 20%. The factory manager arranged the purchase of the additive through a 5-year contract at a price of $7,000 annually, with an interest of 15% to be installed annually, and an inflation of 10%, starting from one year from now. The annual price is expected to increase by $50 annually starting from the sixth year and thereafter until the year 13. In addition, an initial investment of $3,000 has been made to prepare a suitable site for the contractor to deliver the additive. Find the equivalent total present value of all these cash flows.
1. A manufacturer has a contract to produce 5,000 units of a certain device. The device can be made by highly-trained workmen working individually. The device can also be made by less-skilled workmen working together if they are given a specialized equipment and proper supervision. The highly-trained workmen are paid P20.00 per hour, and each can produce one unit every 2 hours, on the average. The specialized equipment can be placed in operation at an original cost of P60,000 and it will be worthless at the time all the 5,000 units are manufactured. With this equipment four men, paid P15.00 each per hour, and a foreman, paid P25.00 per hour, can do the work. All the five men working together can finish one unit in 15 minutes. Determine the gain or loss if the specialized equipment is used.
