CompanyX, a small (fictitious) company, is considering switching to the 2-year Acme2 battery for the smartphones it issues to employees. CompanyX supplies 1 phone each to 100 employees. The battery that CompanyX currently uses lasts 1 year, costs CompanyX $50 for the battery itself, and costs CompanyX $60 in labor to replace each battery. Assume the replacement labor cost stays constant no matter what battery is used. What is the VIU price for the Acme2 battery in this application? HINT: First, calculate the current annual cost related to batteries, and then set that amount to the VIU cost equation, including parts and labor. $160 $110 $50 $42.50
