(Show the Cashflow Diagram if needed) A machine part to be fabricated may be made from alloy of either of two metals. There is an order for 10,000 units. Metal A costs 3 pesos per kg, while Metal B costs 9 pesos per kg. If Metal A is used, the material per unit weighs 110 grams; for metal B, 30 grams. When metal A is used, 50 units can be produced per hour; for metal B, 80 units per hour. Metal B fabrication requires the aid of a tool costing P1,000, which will be useless after the 10,000 units are finished. The machine operator's wage is P50 per hour. If all other costs are identical, determine which material will be more economical to finish the 10,000-unit order. How much is the total cost difference between the use of metal A and metal B?

Please create an example of an Cash Flow Statment for this business: Total Cost of Production for One Month: Fixed Costs: Warehouse Space Rent $600.00 Wages $1800.00 Utilities (Water, Electricity, Gas) $700.00 Loan Repayment $800.00 Total $3900.00 Variable Costs: Ingredients: Fruits, Sweetener, Spices $1200.00 Plastic Bottles (1000) $900.00 Labels (1000) $300.00 Total $2400.00 Total Quantity Produced: 1000 Juice Bottles/ 500 Liters Time Period : One Month. Total Production Cost for One Month Period= Fixed Cost + Variable Costs = $3900.00+$2400.00 =$6300.00 Total Production Costs equates to $6300.00. Therefore Tropical Sips incurs a total of $6300.00 ec dollars for one month when 500 liters or 1000 500ml juice bottles are produced. At an introductory price of $7.00 each a total revenue of $7000.00 is generated. =1000 *$7.00= $7000.00 Thus at an introductory price of $7.00, a profit of $700.00 is generated.
A company is considering expanding a production line, which is expected to remain operational for the foreseeable future. There are two machines, A and B, which could do the job. However, the two machinces are not the same. First of all the price of A is 400 MUSD and the price of B is 300 MUSD.
