Question

In manufacturing a kerosene stove, it is necessary to make two half-inch holes in the metal. If these are drilled with the help of a jig, each hole will require one minute. The jig will cost P40.00. The drill press operator receives P1.10 per hour. The holes could be made also on a punch press at the rate of 2 holes each for 5seconds. A die would be required at a cost of P80.00. The punch operator will receive P0.90 per hour. If 1,000 stoves are to be produced & the jig/die will have no scrap value, which method will you recommend on the bases of cost and on completion of work?

The machinist is paid P60 per hour and he can drill 80 holes per hour. The second method makes use of a multiple-punch machine costing P80k. The punch operator is paid P40 an hour and he can punch out 1 hole for 3 seconds. This method also requires an expense of P1.25 per hole to set the machine.

Insulated concrete forms (ICF) can be used as a substitute for traditional wood framing in building construction. Heating and cooling bills will be about 50% less than in a similar wood-frame home in Vermont. An ICF home will be approximately 10% more expensive to construct than a wood-frame home. A typical 2,000 square-foot home costs $120 per square foot to build with wood framing in Vermont and costs $200 per month (on average) to heat or cool.What is the IRR on the incremental investment in an equivalent-sized ICF home? The home’s residual value with both framing methods in 20 years is expected to be $280,000.

Please no written by hand solutions One area of concern when it comes to Starlink is the cost. For example, at the beginning of February 2023, FiberOne, a broadband internet provider in Nigeria, was providing internet with speeds of up to 500Mbps, which is fast. The installation fee was N32,231 (about US$70) and the monthly subscription cost around N100,000 (US$220). Starlink in Nigeria, meanwhile, costs about N276,000 (US$599) once- off for the kit and installation, then charges a monthly subscription fee of about [N19,800] (US$43). Starlink is cheaper in the long term than both fibre optic and mobile internet providers. But can an average rural Nigerian household with a monthly income of less than N28,000 (US$60) afford it? Given that average incomes are similarly low in most rural and remote parts of Africa, there's a risk that Starlink's targeted users on the continent won't be able to use the service. The reason that Starlink is able to charge a lower monthly price for their…
