In building their plant, the officers of the International Leather Company had the choice between alternatives: One alternative is to build in Metro Manila where the plant would cost P2,000,000. Labor would cost annually P120,000 and annual overhead P40,000. Taxes and insurance would total 5% of the first cost of the plant. The second alternative would be to build in Bulacan a plant costing P2,250,000. Labor would cost P100,000 and overhead would be P55,000. Taxes and insurances would be 3% of the first cost. The cost of raw materials would be the same in either plant. If capital must be

Please answer with CFD: In building a plant, the Santos Novelty Corporation had the choice between three alternatives: One alternative is to build in San Mateo, Rizal where the plant would cost P2,000,000. Annual labor would cost P120,000 and annual overhead cost of P40,000. Taxes and insurance would total 5% of the first cost of the plant. The second alternative would be to build in Montalban Rizal where the plant would cost P1,950,000. Labor would cost annually P115,000 and overhead would be P50,000. Taxes and insurance would be 4% of the first cost. The third alternative would be to build in Marikina City a plant costing P2,250,000. Labor would cost annually P100,000 and overhead would be P55,000. Taxes and insurance would be 3% of the first cost. The cost of raw materials would be the same in other plant.

2. A company is analyzing a make-versus-purchase situation for a component used in several products and the engineering department has developed these data: Option A: Purchase 10,000 items per year at a fixed cost of Php 340 per item. The cost of placing the order is negligible according to the present cost accounting procedure. Option B: Manufacture 10,000 items per year, using available capacity in the factory. Cost estimates are direct materials= Php 200 per item and direct labor = Php 60 per item. Manufacturing overhead is allocated at 200% of direct labor. Based on these data, should the item be purchased or manufacture? (please include the solution for the overhead cost)
The California Forest Service is considering two locations for a new state park. Location Ewould require an investment of $3 million and $50,000 per year in maintenance. Location Wwould cost $7 million to construct, but the Forest Service would receive an additional $25,000per year in park use fees. The operating cost of location W will be $65,000 per year. The revenueto park concessionaires will be $500,000 per year at location E and $700,000 per year at locationW. The disbenefits associated with each location are $30,000 per year for location E and $40,000per year for location W. Use(a) The B/C method, and(b) The modified B/C method to determine which location, if either, should be selected, using aninterest rate of 12% per year. Assume that the park will be maintained indefinitely.
During your first month as an employee at Engro. Industries (a large drill-bit manufacturer),you are asked to evaluate alternatives for producing a newly designed drill bit on a turningmachine. Your boss’ memorandum to you has practically no information about what thealternatives are and what criteria should be used. The same task was posed to a previousemployee who could not finish the analysis, but she has given you the following information:An old turning machine valued at $350,000 exists (in the warehouse) that can be modified forthe new drill bit. The in-house technicians have given an estimate of $40,000 to modify thismachine, and they assure you that they will have the machine ready before the projected startdate (although they have never done any modifications of this type). It is hoped that the oldturning machine will be able to meet production requirements at full capacity. An outsidecompany, Descon Engg. Inc., made the machine seven years ago and can easily do the…
Q2) One of the energy companies incurred miscellaneous costs and a group of engineers analyzed the costs according to the long-term investment contract. Answer the following points based on the above situation: A) How would you classify these possible costs based on line of your study that will be included in each annual economic assessment. Within short clarification for each possible costs that you suppose to mentione it? B) Give an simple example about each costs-line. C) How will the level of revenue be determined economically? Clarify this statement?
In the design of a jet engine part, the designer has a choice ofspecifying either an aluminium alloy casting or a steel casting. Either materialwill provide equal service, but the aluminium casting will weigh 1.2 kg ascompared with 1.35 kg for the steel casting.The aluminium can be cast for $. 80.00 per kg. and the steel one for$ 35.00 per kg. The cost of machining per unit is $. 150.00 for aluminiumand $. 170.00 for steel. Every kilogram of excess weight is associated witha penalty of $. 1,300 due to increased fuel consumption. Cost of using aluminium metal for the jet engine part?

2.4.1 Total Cost in Material SelectionIn many cases, economic selection among materials cannot be based solely on the costs ofmaterials. Frequently, a change in materials will affect the design and processing costs, and shipping costsmay also be altered.Care should be taken in making economic selections between materials to ensure that anydifferences in shipping costs, yields, or resulting scrap are taken into account. Commonly, alternativematerials do not come in the same stock sizes, such as sheet sizes and bar lengths. This may considerablyaffect the yield obtained from a given weight of material. Similarly, the resulting scrap may differ forvarious materials.In addition to deciding what material a product should be made of, there are often alternativemethods or machines that can be used to produce the product, which, in turn, can impact processingcosts. What could be the factors affecting the cost of materials that one should consider?
A European consortium has spent a considerable amount of time andmoney developing a new supersonic aircraft. The aircraft gets high markson all performance measures except noise. In fact, because of the noise,the consortium’s management is concerned that the U.S. government mayimpose restrictions on some of the American airports where the aircraftcan land. Management judges a 50–50 chance that there will be somerestrictions. Without restrictions, management estimates its (presentdiscounted) profit at $125 million; with restrictions, its profit would beonly $25 million. Management must decide now, before knowing thegovernment’s decision, whether to redesign parts of the aircraft to solvethe noise problem. The cost of the redesign program is $25 million. Thereis a .6 chance that the redesign program will solve the noise problem (inwhich case, full landing rights are a certainty) and a .4 chance it will fail. Using a decision tree, determine the consortium’s best course ofaction, assuming…
22. An architect produces a certain construction material at a labor cost of P 16.20 per piece, material cost of P 38.50 per piece and variable cost of P 7.40 per piece. The fixed charges on the business is P 100,000.00 a month. If he sells the finished product at P 95.00 each, how many pieces must be manufactured in each month to break even?
