Leroy purchased an Al-based robotics system with the first cost of $345,000, an AOC of S148,000 per year, a $140,000 salvage value, and an ESL of 3 years. Rather than trading after 3 years, he kept the system for a total of 5 years. Due to the wear factor and expense of repairs, its AOC increased to $360,000 per year starting in year 4. plus the salvage value went to zero. At 10% per year, what is the percentage increase in the AW of costs that Leroy experienced? The percentage increase in the AW of costs that Leroy experienced is

An item which can be sold for P63.00 per unit wholesale is being produced with the following cost data; labor cost, P10 per unit; material cost, P15.00 per unit; fixed charges, P10,000.00; variable cost, P8.00 per unit. What is the break-even sales volume if two out of every 10 units produced is defective and is rejected with only full recovery materials?
A small strip-mining coal company is trying to decide whether it should purchase or lease a new clamshell. If purchased, the “shell” will cost $140,000 and is expected to have a $45,000 salvage value after 6 years. Alternatively, the company can lease a clamshell for only $14,000 per year, but the lease payment will have to be made at the beginning of each year. If the clamshell is purchased, it will be leased to other strip-mining companies whenever possible, an activity that is expected to yield revenues of $10,000 per year. If the company’s MARR is 12% per year, should the clamshell be purchased or leased on the basis of a future worth analysis? Assume the annual M&O cost is the same for both options. The future worth when purchased is $ . The future worth when leased is $ .
Given the selling price at P120 per unit; contribution margin at 25% and fixed cost at P250,000, the total variable expenses at the breakeven point would be? a.)350 000 b.)750 000 c.)450 000 d.)250 000
The delivered equipment oast for a fixed-bed carbon adsorption system with a capacity of 5000 acini was $100,000 in 1994. Estimate the installed cost of a similar system with a capacity of 7500 acfm in 2000.
Company A has fixed expenses of $15,000 per year and each unit of product has a $0.20 variable cost. Company B has fixed expenses of $6,000 per year and can produce the same product at a $0.60 variable cost per unit. At what number of units of annual production will Company A have the same overall cost as Company B? (i.e., find the breakeven point)
To produce an item in-house, equipment costing $250,000 must be purchased. It will have a life of 4 years and an annual cost of $80,000; each unit will cost $40 to manufacture. Buying the item externally will cost $100 per unit. At i = 12%, determine the breakeven production number.
A machine used to shread cardboard boxes for composting has a first cost of $10,000, an AOC of $7000 per year, a 3-year life, and no appreciable salvage value. Assume you were told that the service provided by the machine will be needed for only 5 years, which entails a repurchase and retention for only 2 years.What salvage value, S, is required after 2 years in order to make the 2-year AW value the same as it is for its 3-year life cycle AW? Assume i = 10% per year. Solve using factors and, if assigned, using a spreadsheet and Goal Seek.
A construction company is evaluating the purchase of a new concrete mixer with hydraulic hopper and automatic controller. The mixer will have a first cost of BD 12,000, a life of 9 years, and no salvage value. It will require 2 operators at a cost of BD 4.500 per hour each. A total of one cubic meter of concrete can be poured each hour by the mixer. Alternatively, if human labor is used, 5 workers, each earning BD 4 per hour, are required to one cubic meter per hour. The estimated cost of the material is BD 21 per cubic meter and the MARR is 7% per year (clearly show the S.N., numeric answer, and final decision). a) Determine the minimum cubic meters per year to justify the purchase of the automatic mixer. b) The company expects to produce 140 cubic meters per year, which option should they select? Why?

What is the contribution margin ratio when the fixed costs are P13, 000, 000, the sales are P25, 000, 000, and the variable costs are P10, 000, 0000? a. 40% b. 48% c. 60% d. 52% 3. Which of the following is the value that we need to consider that will contribute towards covering fixed cost and providing for profit?* a. contribution margin b. net margin c. gross profit d. gross margin
Two processes can be used for producing a polymer that reduces friction loss in engines.Process T will have a first cost of $750,000, an operating cost of $60,000 per year, and asalvage value of $80,000 after its 2-year life. Process W will have a first cost of $1,350,000,an operating cost of $25,000 per year, and a $120,000 salvage value after its 4-year life.Process W will also require updating at the end of year 2 at a cost of $90,000. Whichprocess should be selected on the basis of a future worth analysis at an interest rate of12% per year? *please answer in a neat and clear way.
The student engineering society is building a snack cart to raise money. Members must decide what capacity the cart should be able to serve. To serve 100 customers per hour costs $10,310, and to serve 150 customers per hour costs $13,400. The 50% increase in capacity is less than 50% of $10,310 because of economies of scale; but the increase in net revenue will be less than 50%, since the cart will not always be serving 150 customers per hour. The estimated net annual income for the lower capacity is $3300, and for the higher capacity it is $4000. After 5 years the cart is expected to have no salvage value. The engineering society is unsure of what interest rate to use to decide on the capacity. Make a recommendation.
