Chapter 6, Problem 67P

Three models of baseball bats will be manufactured in a new plant in Pulaski. Each bat requires some manufacturing time at either Lathe 1 or Lathe 2, according to the following table. Your task is to help decide which type of lathe to install. Show and explain all work to support your recommendation. (6.5)

Chapter 6, Problem 67P, Three models of baseball bats will be manufactured in a new plant in Pulaski. Each bat requires some , example  1

The plant will operate 3,000 hours per year. Machine availability is 85% for Lathe 1 and 90% for Lathe 2. Scrap rates for the two lathes are 5% versus 10% for L1 and L2, respectively. Cash flows and expected lives for the two lathes are given in the following table.

Annual operating expenses are based on an assumed operation of 3,000 hours per year, and workers are paid during any idle time of L1 and L2. Upper management has decided that MARR = 18% per year.

A company manufactures dog leashes that sell for $20.97, including shipping and handling.  The monthly fixed costs (advertising, rent, etc.) are $23,202 and the variable costs (materials, shipping, etc.) are $9.21 per leash.  How many leashes must be produced and sold each month for the company to break even?
A firm is must choose to buy the GSU-3300 or the UGA-3000. Both machines make the firm's production process more efficient which in turn increases incremental cash flows. The GSU-3300 produces incremental cash flows of $25,025.00 per year for 8 years and costs $102,242.00. The ÚGA-3000 produces incremental cash flows of $27,530.00 per year for 9 years and cost $126,773.00. The firm's WACĆ is 8.37%. What is the equivalent annual annuity of the GSU-3300? Assume that there are no taxes.
