You need to select a machine for the robotized welding process at your factory. There are two machines in market that can do this job, machine A and machine B. Machine A: First cost is $63,000 , Annual Operating Cost is $4,000, and Salvage value of $15,000 with useful life of 3 years. If the life of machine B is 9 years, the NPV of machine A needed for the sake of comparison at MARR 15% per year is closest to:

An engineer of a manufacturing company has determined the costs of producing a new product to be as follows: Equipment cost: $300,000/year Variable cost per unit of production: $15.00 Overhead cost: $50,000/year The company is planning to run this project for 5 years and estimated that the product can be sold for a unit price of $40. How many units must be produced and sold each year to break even? [Hints: no interest is given, so no consideration of time value of money. Use the knowledge you learnt in chapter 2]
To make an item inhouse, equipment costing $250,000 must be purchased. It will have a life of 4 years, an annual cost of $80,000, and each unit will cost $40 to manufacture. Buying the item externally will cost $100 per unit. At i = 15% per year, it is cheaper to make the item inhouse if the number per year needed is:a. above 1047 unitsb. above 2793 unitsc. equal to 2793 unitsd. below 2793 units
Your manufacturing company is interested in developing a cost model to price a AM part that will be manufactured for production. Based on data that they have collected: Machine and ancillary equipment cost : $1,000,000 Equipment depreciation cost per year: $130,000 Machine Maintenance cost per year: $50,000 Machine operator cost per hour : $40/hr Set up and prep time for each build : 30 min Post processing time per build: 1 hr Material Cost per Kg: $275/kg Amount of material needed per part: 100mgs/part They estimate the following: a. Number of parts made per year: 60,000 b. Each build can build 200 parts simultaneously on a single platform c. Build time for each platform of 200 parts: 25 hrs d. The factory will run 24/7 for 200 days in a year. Under this scenario what will be the cost per part ?

You are considering two types of machines fora manufacturing process.◼◼ Machine A has a first cost of $75,200, and itssalvage value at the end of six years of estimatedservice life is $21,000. The operating costs ofthis machine are estimated to be $6,800 per year.Extra income taxes are estimated at $2,400 peryear.◼◼ Machine B has a first cost of $44,000, and itssalvage value at the end of six years’ service isestimated to be negligible. The annual operatingcosts will be $11,500.Compare these two mutually exclusive alternativesby the present-worth method at i = 13%
Direction: Solve the following problems completely. For problem 1 and 2, please refer to the given situations. A company plans to manufacture a product and sell it for $3.00 per unit. Equipment to manufacture the product will cost $250,000 and will have a net salvage value of $12,000 at the end of its estimated economic life of 15 years. The equipment can manufacture up to 2,000,000 units per year. Direct labor costs are $0.25 per unit, direct material costs are $0.85 per unit, variable administrative and selling expenses are $0.25 per unit, and fixed overhead costs are $200,000, not including depreciation. Direction: Solve the following problems completely. Problem 1. If capital investments and return on the investment are excluded, what is the number of units that the company must manufacture and sell in order to break even with all other costs? Problem 2. If straight-line depreciation is used, what is the number of units that the company must manufacture and sell to yield a…

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.
An equipment costing $57,500 is being considered for a production process at Dew Chemicals. The expected benefits per year is $4,500 and estimated salvage value is $10,000. Determine the rate of return the company can get in this equipment proposal. Equipment life = 15 years.
