Student question MBI is a manufacturer of personal computers. All its personal computers use a 3.5-inch high-density floppy disk drive which it purchases from Ynos. MBI operates its factory 52 weeks per year, which requires assembling 100 of these floppy disk drives into computers per week. MBI’s annual holding cost rate is 20 percent of the value (based on purchase cost) of the inventory. Regardless of order size, the administrative cost of placing an order with Ynos has been estimated to be $50. A quantity discount is offered by Ynos for large orders as shown below, where the price for each category applies to every disk drive purchased. Determine the optimal order quantity according to the EOQ model with quantity discounts. What is the resulting total cost per year? What is the resulting total cost per year?

Problem Solving: Lila Battle has determined that the annual demand for number 6 screws is 100,000 screws. Lila, who works in her brother’s hardware store, is in charge of purchasing. She estimates that it costs $10 every time an order is placed. This cost includes her wages, the cost of the forms used in placing the order, and so on. Furthermore, she estimates that the cost of carrying one screw in inventory for a year is one-half of 1 cent. Assume that the demand is constant throughout the year. a. How many number 6 screws should Lila order at a time if she wishes to minimize total inventory cost? b. How many orders per year would be placed? What would the annual ordering cost be? c. What would the average inventory be? What would the annual holding cost be?

Hillsong Inc. manufactures snowsuits. Hillsong is considering purchasing a new sewing machine at a cost of $2.45 million. Its existing machine was purchased five years ago at a price of $1.8 million; six months ago, Hillsong spent $55,000 to keep it operational. The existing sewing machine can be sold today for $250,000. The new sewing machine would require a one-time, $85,000 training cost. Operating costs would decrease by the following amounts for years 1 to 7: Year 1 $390,000 2 400,000 3 411,000 4 426,000 5 434,000 6 435,000 7 436,000 The new sewing machine would be depreciated according to the declining-balance method at a rate of 20%. The salvage value is expected to be $400,000. This new equipment would require maintenance costs of $100,000 at the end of the fifth year. The cost of capital is 9%

Question ENGINEERING ECONOMICS You want to launch a printing services business on campus. The initial cost to get the business running with a September 1st launch date would be $2,000. You estimate that the revenues would approximately offset your costs (e.g. paper, toner, etc.) in the first month of operation so that the monthly profit would be $0. Afterwards, you estimate that profits would increase by $80 each month until the end of the academic year (i.e. $80 profit in October, $160 profit in November, etc. until the end of April). Your annual MARR is 10%, compounded monthly. (a) Calculate the internal rate of return for your investment based on an 8 months study period. Select the appropriate IRR between options 1 to 4 below. (b) Suppose that you now consider another investment opportunity for your printing business services, also with monthly profits, and the internal rate of return of 3%. Is this alternative economically feasible based on IRR?
Milliken uses a digitally controlled “dyer” for placing intricate and integrated patterns on manufactured carpet squares for home and commercial use. It is purchased for $400,000. It is expected to last 8 years and have a salvage value of $30,000. Increased net income due to this dyer is $95,000 per year. Milliken’s tax rate is 25% and the after-tax MARR is 12%. Develop tables using a spreadsheet to determine the ATCF for each year and the after-tax PW, AW, IRR, and ERR after 8 years. a. Use straight-line depreciation (no half-year convention). b. Use MACRS-GDS and state the appropriate property class. c. Use double declining balance depreciation (no half-year convention, no switching).
At Little Green Apple Produce the owner is considering buying a new large walk in cooler for fruits and vegetables. The new cooler cost $150,000. The annual maintenance cost will be $7,000 starting in year two (the first year will be covered under warrantee). An additional employee will be needed to stock the cooler. The employee will make $16/hr, and start part-time at 20 hours per week. Sale of produce will increase by $100,000 in year one and an additional 10% in year two and 15% in year three. The cost of produce will increase $30,000 in year one and is variable with sales. The part-time employees hours will vary based on additional sales in years two and three. The employee will receive raises of 4% annually and electricity will increase 3% a year. There is no inflation on any other item. Based on this information prepare a pro forma and calculate the project NPV using a 9% discount rate/hurdle rate and calculate the IRR. State if the project should be expected or rejected.…
