- Paolo lives in Philadelphia and operates a small company selling scooters. On average, he receives $712,000 per year from selling scooters. Out of this revenue from sales, he must pay the manufacturer a wholesale cost of $412,000. He also pays several utility companies, as well as his employees wages totaling $269,000. He owns the building that houses his storefront; if he choose to rent it out, he would receive a yearly amount of $1,000 in rent. Assume there is no depreciation in the value of his property over the year. Further, if Paolo does not operate the scooter business, he can work as a nurse and earn a yearly salary of $21,000 with no additional monetary costs, and rent out his storefront at the $1,000 per year rate. There are no other costs faced by Paolo in running this scooter company. (Questions in images)Table: Taxi Fleet) Metro Cab is considering replacement of its fleet of old taxicabs. To replace its fleet, Metro must spend $150,000 on new taxicabs. The new taxis will incur $5,000 of maintenance expenses per year. Alternatively, Metro could spend $20,000 today to refurbish its taxicabs and incur an additional $20,000 per year of maintenance expenses for the next three years. Metro would then have to buy new taxicabs for $150,000 at the end of three years, leading to lower maintenance expenses of $5,000 per year. Using an interest rate of 10%, the net present value of the first three years is $____. 65,000 37,272.73 195,000 20,000Courtney Kamauf schedules production of a popular Rustic Coffee Table at Kamauf Enterprises, Inc. The table requires a top, four legs, 1/8 gallon of stain, 1/16 gallon of glue, 2 short braces between the legs and 2 long braces between the legs, and a brass cap that goes on the bottom of each leg. She has 100 gallons of glue in inventory, but none of the other components. All items except the brass caps, stain, and glue are ordered on a lot-for-lot basis. The caps are purchased in quantities of 1,000, stain and glue by the gallon. Lead time is 1 day for each item.

- (i want answer in step by step) Light emitting diodes (LED) light bulbs have become required in recent years, but do they make financial sense? Suppose a typical 60 - watt incandescent light bulb costs S .41 and lasts 1, 000 hours. A 15 - watt LED, which provides the same light, costs $3.20 and lasts for 12, 000 hours. A kilowatt - hour of electricity costs $.117. A kilowatt-hour is 1,000 watts for 1 hour. If you require a return of 9 percent and use a light fixture 500 hours per year, what is the equivalent annual cost of each light bulb? (A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places, e. g., 32.16.)Mary Graham has worked as a real estate agent for Piedmont Properties for 15 years. Her annual income is approximately $100,000 per year. Mary is considering establishing her own real estate agency. She expects to generate revenues during the first year of $2,000,000. Salaries paid to her employees are expected to total $1,500,000. Operating expenses (i.e., rent, supplies, and utility services) are expected to total $250,000. To begin the business, Mary must borrow $500,000 from her bank at an interest rate of 15 percent. Equipment will cost Mary $50,000. At the end of one year, the value of this equipment will be $30,000 even though the depreciation expense for tax purposes is only $5,000 during the first year. Determine the (pretax) accounting profit for this venture. Determine the (pretax) economic profit for this venture. Which of the costs for this firm are explicit and which are implicit?Complete all of the following definitions
- Henleigh Hill, CFO of HH Corp., uses a decentralized company processing center for check collection. She estimates that the total annual cost of collections is currently $300,000. Henleigh is considering switching to a centralized company processing center, but she is worried about the required increase in fixed costs. Use the following assumptions to determine the maximum fixed cost of the centralized company processing center that would make Henleigh indifferent between a decentralized or centralized company processing center. Number of checks processed per year = 450,000 Average face value of checks = $1,000 Collection float for centralized processing = five days Variable processing cost per check for centralized processing = $0.25 Opportunity cost rate = 5 percentMs. Susan is renovating her townhouse for a total price of $18,000. The work will be done in a month and she will start to rent the house to Mr. Sam with a monthly rental of $1,250. For how long time (in months) can Ms. Susan can break even from the renovation cost? (Complete the analysis in MS Excel Sheet and copy your analysis and answer here). Assume: • The annual maintenance cost is approximately $1,200. • Ms. Susan covers utility and electric bills which are approximately $200 every month. • The interest rate is 0.45%. • Present Value = Future Value/(1+i)^n"Boehm Compressors uses a lean production assembly line to make its compressors. In one assembly area, the demand is 100 parts per eight-hour day. It uses a container that holds eight parts. It typically takes about six hours to round-trip a container from one work center to the next and back again. It also desires to hold 15 percent safety stock of this part in the system" How many containers should Boehm Compressors be using? Calculate the maximum system inventory for this part If it reduced the number of containers by one, how would this impact the required round-trip time, all else being constant?"
- Sally Statistics is implementing a system of statistical process control (SPC) charts in her factory in an effort to reduce the overall cost of scrapped product. The current cost of scrap is $X per month. If a 75% learning curve is expected in the use of the SPC charts to reduce the cost of scrap, what would the percentage reduction in monthly scrap cost be after the charts have been used for 6 months? (Hint: Model each month as a unit of production.)(You will need to use a spreadsheet to tackle these questions.) 1.

The airline has spent five years and millions of dollars building a new flight planning program – which it says will materially cut its fuel bill and bring its ultra-haul ambitions closer to reality. Qantas’ team of dispatchers have used the same computer program for 30 years to plan the route of each flight, assessing weather, airspace traffic, safety and legal constraints on three of four possible routes. The new system uses cloud computing to crunch data on thousands of possible flight paths, using millions of data points – including the latest wind patterns, and varying altitudes and wind speeds – to build a cost map that presents the most efficient route… A flight to Johannesburg, for example, was directed to fly 160 nautical miles further than it would normally, but in doing so cut the headwinds it experienced by two-thirds. The 747…
