Q)land development company is considering the purchase of earth-moving equipment. This equipment will have an estimated first cost of $163,000, a salvage value of $65,000, a life of 10 years, a maintenance cost of $40,000 per year, and an operating cost of $420 per day. Alternatively, the company can rent the necessary equipment for $1030 per day and hire a driver at $180 per day. If the company’s MARR is 15% per year, how many days per year must the company need the equipment in order to justify its purchase? The company must need the equipment ____ days per year in order to justify its purchase.

Recall the discussion on spacecraft from the chapter opener. The following problems consider a rocket launch from Earth’s surface. The force of gravity on the rocket is given by F(d)=−mk/d2, where m is the mass of the rocket, d is the distance of the rocket from the center of Earth, and k is a constant. 172. As the rocket travels away from Earth’s surface, there is a distance D where the rocket sheds some of its mass, since it no longer needs the excess fuel storage. We can write this function as F(d)=⎨(−m↓1 k / d^2) if d < D (−m↓2 k / d^2) if d ≥ D Is there a D value such that this function is continuous, assuming m1≠m2?

A firm is attempting to minimize its shipping costs. The firm has 3 factories and must supply the needs of its 3 customers without shortages. Since the firm has no storage facilities, each factory must make daily shipments to its customers. The table below shows the capacity of each factory, the amount required by each customer, and the cost of shipping from each factory to each customer. Complete the table below to show the quantity shipped from each factory to each customer. (Leave no cells blank - be certain to enter "0" wherever required.) Shipping Costs ($/unit) Factory/Capacity Customer 1 Customer 2 Customer 3 A/100 units 11 5 9 B/180 units 8 7 8 C/130 units 12 7 10 Requirement— 205 units Requirement— 68 units Requirement— 137 units What is the total cost of meeting customer requirements each day?
A factory production department consists of a large number of work cells. Each cell consists of one human worker performing electronics assembly tasks. The cells are organized into sections within the department, and one foreman supervises each section. It is desired to know how many work cells should be assigned to each foreman. The foreman’s job consists of two tasks: (1) provide each cell with a sufficient supply of parts that it can work for 4 h before it needs to be resupplied and (2) prepare production reports for each work cell. Task (1) takes 18 min on average per work cell and must be done twice per day. The foreman must schedule the resupply of parts to every cell so that no idle time occurs in any cell. Task (2) takes 9 min per work cell and must be done once per day. Neither the workers nor the foreman are allowed to work more than 8 h/day. Each day, the cells continue production from where they stopped the day before. (a) What is the maximum number of work cells that…

A company uses various machines in the preparation of ice cream. The firm has been successful until recently when it noticed growing repair expenses for the various machines it uses. Over the past 20 months, the machines have broken down at the rate indicated in the following table: Each time a machine breaksdown, the company estimates that it loses an average of US$300 in production time and service expenses. Should the company opt to purchase a service contract for preventive maintenance by Angeles Machineries Inc., (AMI) there will still be breakdowns, averaging one breakdown per month. The price for this service by AMI is US$150 per month. a. If the company continues as is, what is the expected no. of breakdowns based on past history? b. What will be the cost of breakdowns per month to the company without a preventive maintenance contract? c. What will be the cost of breakdowns per month to the company with a preventive maintenance contract? d. Should they engage the…
