A manufacturing company leases a building for $100,000 per year for its manufacturing facilities. In addition, the machinery in this building is being paid for in installments of $20,000 per year. Each unit of the product produced costs $15 in labor and $10 in materials. The product can be sold for $40. what are the following 1. How many units per year must be sold for the company to breakeven? 2. If 10,000 units per year are sold, what is the annual profit? 3. If the selling price is lowered to $35 per unit, how many units must be sold each year for the company to earn a profit of $60,000 per year? 4. If the labor cost is increased by 10% and materials cost is increased by 5%, the number of units to break even is closest to:
A firm is considering whether to purchase or lease land-moving equipment. The data associated with the purchase are as follows Initial cost = $150,000 Residual value = $12,000 Maintenance cost = $1,800/per year Operator cost per day = $300/day If the equipment is rented, the operator cost is incurred, at the rate of $300 per day and $100 for the daily rental of the equipment. Determine the minimum number of days per year the equipment must be used to justify the purchase. Use an interest rate of 7%. Life = 10 years
A contractor has an excavator requiring repairs within her fleet of cquipment for executing projects. She is offered $6,000 for the equipment by another contractor but refuses to sell. Other financial details of the excavator are as follows: Repair cost of $4,000 Useful life of 5 years At the end of year 1, the operation and maintenance cost is pegged at $2.000. This value increases by $1,000, S1,200, S1,400, and $1,600 for the following years. At the end of year 1, the salvage value is pegged at $6,000. This value decreases by 25% for the following years. The minimum acceptable rate of return (MARR) is 12%. Due to the constant use and operation and maintenance required, determine how long this equipment should be kept by the contractor. N.B. SHOW THE DETAILED WORKINGS FOR EACH YEAR. DO NOT STOP AT YEAR AFTER THE ECONOMIC LIFE.
Corcoran Consulting is deciding which of two computer systems to purchase. It can purchase state-of-the-art equipment (System A) for $20,000, which will generate cash flows of $6,000 at the end of each of the next 6 years. Alternatively, the company can spend $12,000 for equipment that can be used for 3 years and will generate cash flows of $6,000 at the end of each year (System B). If the company’s WACC is 10% and both “projects” can be repeated indefinitely, which system should be chosen, and what is its EAA?
ENGINEERING ECONOMY RATE WILL BE GIVEN. WRITE THE COMPLETE SOLUTIONS/EXPLANATION LEGIBLY OR TYPEWRITTEN. GIVE STRAIGHT TO THE POINT EXPLANATION. Two alternative designs are under consideration for a tapered fastening pin. The fastening pins are sold for $0.70 each. Either design will serve equally well and will involve the same material and manufacturing cost except for the lathe and drill operations. Design A will require 12 hours of lathe time and 5 hours of drill time per 1,000 units. Design B will require 7 hours of lathe time and 8 hours of drill time per 1,000 units. The variable operating cost of the lathe, including labor, is $18.60 per hour. The variable operating cost of the drill, including labor, is $16.90 per hour. Finally, there is a sunk cost of $5,000 for Design A and $9,000 for Design B due to obsolete tooling. a. Which design should be adopted if 125,000 units are sold each year?b. What is the annual saving over the other design?

International Machine Manufacturing Company has identified three process alternatives and developed costs as well. The fixed and variable costs for the three alternative processes are presented below. Process A, B and C are the name of three process alternatives. The cost data are as follows: Process A Process B Process C Annual Contracted Units 350,000 350,000 350,000 Annual fixed cost OMR 100,000 OMR 250,000 OMR 550,000 Variable cost (Per Unit) OMR 16 OMR 12 OMR 10 Calculate the following by using the data given: a. Identify the best process to be followed by the International Machine Manufacturing Company. b. Determine the Economical Volume for each process. c. Determine the best process for each of the following volumes: (i) 100,000 (ii) 275,000 (iii) 325,000
ABC Corporation manufactures a certain product that sells for P5,000 each. The company’s maximum production capacity is 360 units per year. At present it is able to produce and sell 280 units a year. The cost to manufacture each product is P2,400 and the fixed operating cost per year is P520,000.1. What is the break – even sales volume of the product per year?2. What is the profit per year based on the present production – sales status?3. What is the loss if only 150 units were produced and sold in a year?
A company has a production capacity of 500 units per month and its fixed costs are P250,000 a month. The variable costs per unit are P1,150 and each unit can be sold for P2,000. Economy measures are instituted to reduce the fixed costs by 10 percent and the variable costs by 20 percent. Determine the old and the new break-even points. What are the old and the new profit at 100 percent capacity?
Electric posts and transmission lines must be installed in a new industrial park. It has been estimated that 23 km of transmission lines will be needed and each kilometer of line costs P14,000.00 including the installation. In addition a pole must be placed every 100 meters on the average to support the lines, and the cost of the pole and its installation is P2,100.00 including labor. What is the cost of the entire project?
Consider the following data of a company for the year 1999:Sales = Rs. 1,20,000Fixed cost = Rs. 25,000Variable cost = Rs. 45,000Find the BEP.
The publishing company is publishing a book for business economics for which it has estimated the following total fixed and average variable cost: Total fixed cost $ 100,000 Average Variable Cost $ 20 Selling Price $ 30 Determine the breakeven output and total sales revenues. Determine the output that would generate a total profit of $ 60000 and total sales revenue at that output level. If total fixed cost reduced to $ 40,000 then what is the breakeven point. How much units they have to sale if they require to have a profit of $ 60,000. Find out the publisher breakeven point if fixed cost remain same at $ 100,000 but the variable cost reduced to $10. Also find out the breakeven point if profit of $60,000 has to be earned. Find out the breakeven and sales at required profit of $60,000 if all cost remain same but the price per unit increased to $40.
