- A printed circuit board manufacturer will construct a new plant. The potential sites have the following estimates of income and cost. A plant on Site A would cost $30.2 million (mil) to build, produce $31.6 mil/year in revenues, $22.7 mil/year in expenses, and last 18 years. At Site B construction will cost $34.5mil with $35.2mil of revenues per year, $25.2 mil/year in expenses and will also last 18 years. Use the internal rate of return to determine which site should be selected. TheMARRis 25% per year.A new manufacturing facility will produce two products, each of which requires a drilling operation during processing. Two alternative types of drilling machines (D1 and D2) are being considered for purchase. One of these machines must be selected. For the same annual demand, the annual production requirements (machine hours) and the annual operating expenses (per machine) are listed in the shown Table. Which machine should be selected if the MARR is 15% per year? Show all your work to support your recommendation. Assumptions: The facility will operate 2,000 hours per year. Machine availability is 80% for Machine D1 and 75% for Machine D2. The yield of D1 is 90%, and the yield of D2 is 80%. Annual operating expenses are based on an assumed operation of 2,000 hours per year, and workers are paid during any idle time of Machine D1 or Machine D2. State any other assumptions needed to solve the problem.Esmail Mohebbi, owner of European Ignitions Manufacturing, needs to expand his capacity. He is con-sidering three locations—Athens, Brussels, and Lisbon—for a new plant. The company wishes to find the most economical location for an expected volume of 2,000 units per year.APPROACH c Mohebbi conducts locational cost–volume analysis. To do so, he determines that fixedcosts per year at the sites are $30,000, $60,000, and $110,000, respectively; and variable costs are $75per unit, $45 per unit, and $25 per unit, respectively. The expected selling price of each ignition systemproduced is $120.
- A firm is considering two location alternatives. At location A, fixed costs would be $4,000,000 per year, and variable costs $0.30 per unit. At alternative B, fixed costs would be $3,600,000 per year, with variable costs of $0.34 per unit. If annual demand is expected to be 9 million units, which plant offers the lowest total cost? Plant B, because it has the lower variable cost per unit. Plant A, because it is cheaper than Plant B for all volumes below 10,000,000 units. Plant A, because it is cheaper than Plant B for all volumes. Plant B, because it is cheaper than Plant A for all volumes below 10,000,000 units. Neither Plant A nor Plant B, because the crossover point is at 9 million units.A firm is considering two location alternatives. At location C, fixed costs would be $5,000,000 per year, and variable costs $0.25 per unit. At alternative D, fixed costs would be $4,500,000 per year, with variable costs of $0.35 per unit. If annual demand is expected to be 4.5 million units, which plant offers the lowest total cost? Select one: O a. Plant C, because Plant C is cheaper than Plant D for all volumes. O b. Plant D, because Plant D is cheaper than Plant C for all volumes below 5 million units. Oc. Neither Plant C nor Plant D, because the crossover point is at 4.5 million units. O d. Plant D, because Plant D is cheaper than Plant C for all volumes. Oe. Plant C, because Plant C is cheaper than Plant D for all volumes below 5 million units.In a bio-based material recycling company, the operation managers are considering a twin-screw extruder with a price of 12,000 OMR and another 2,000 OMR will be spent for shipping and installation of the extruder. The estimated net income generated from this machine is 3,500 OMR per year. The extruder will be used for 5 years, and then it will be sold for an estimated market value of 2,500 OMR. The extruder MARCS property class is 5 years. If the effective income tax rate (t) is 40% and the after-tax MARR is 10%. (a) What is the after-tax IRR for this project? (use trial and error procedure and GDS) (b) Should this extruder be purchased by the company?
- Peggy Lane Corp., a producer of machine tools, wants to move to a larger site. Two alternative locations have been identified: Bonham and McKinney. Bonham would have fixed costs of $800,000 per year and variable costs of $14,000 per standard unit produced. McKinney would have annual fixed costs of $940,000 and variable costs of $12,800 per standard unit. The finished items sell for $28,000 each. a) The volume of output at which both the locations have the same profit = standard units (round your response to the nearest whole number). b) Básed on the analysis of the volume, after rounding the numbers to the nearest whole number, Bonham is superior below standard units. c) Based on the analysis of the volume, after rounding the numbers to the nearest whole number, McKinney is superior above standard units. d) The break-even point for Bonham is units. (Enter your response rounded to the nearest whole number.)Assume that if Sunland Water accepts Clifton’s offer, the company can use the freed-up manufacturing facilities to manufacture a new line of growing lights. The company estimates it can sell 86,490 of the new lights each year at a price of $11. Variable costs of the lights are expected to be $8 per unit. The timer unit supervisory and clerical staff would be transferred to this new product line. Calculate the total relevant cost to make the timer units and the net cost if they accept Clifton's offer.Mickey's Boats will produce a new line of speed boats. It has a choice of larger production facility with a less laborers or smaller production facility with more laborers. Each boat will be sold for $80,000. If the large production facility is chosen, the cost to produce each boat will be $50,000, while the cost per boat will be $64, 000 at the smaller production facility. The large production facility would have fixed costs of $10 million and a depreciation expense of $1,600,000, while those expenses would be $4 million and $600,000 for the smaller production facility. Calculate the number of speed boats for which the accounting operating profit is the same regardless of the production facility choice? a. 500 boats b. 1,000 boats c. 429 boats d. 215 boats
- Quantum Logistics, Inc., a wholesale distributor, is considering the construction of a new warehouse to serve the southeastern geographic region near the Alabama–Georgia border. There are three cities being considered. After site visits and a budget analysis, the expected income and costs associated with locating in each of the cities have been determined. The life of the warehouse is expected to be 12 years and MARR is 15%/year.Solve, a. What is the present worth of each site? b. What is the decision rule for determining the preferred site based on present worth ranking? c. Which city should be recommended?A new biomaterial used for prosthetic devices was developed by engineers in the laboratory that requires production equipment to start manufacturing. Two different equipment are considered. Equipment A will have an initial cost of $125,000 and annual cost of $55,000. Equipment B will have an initial cost of $175,000 and an annual cost of $35,000. For 20% MARR which process should be selected. What is the incremental rate of return?The plant manager of IHK is considering the purchase of a new robotic assemble plant. The new robotic line will cost $250,000. The manager believes that the new investment will result in direct labor savings of $62,500 per year for ten years.Requirements:a. What is the payback period for this projectb. What is the net present value or PV assuming a 10% rate of return?c. Should the plant manager accept or reject the project?d.
