Three methods can be used for producing heat sensors for high-temperature furnaces. Method A will have a fixed cost of $140,000 per year and a production cost of $62 per part. Method B will have a fixed cost of $210,000 per year and a production cost of $28 per part. Method C will require the purchase of equipment costing $500,000. It will have a life of five years and a 25% of first cost salvage value. The production cost will be $53 per part. At an interest rate of 10% per year, determine the breakeven annual production rate between the two lowest cost methods.

- ABC Corporation has recently given out a nine-month contract to a construction subcontractor. At the end of the first month, it becomes obvious that the subcontractor is not reporting costs according to an appropriate WBS level. ABC Corporation asks the subcontractor to change its cost reporting procedures. The subcontractor states that this cannot be done without additional funding. This problem has occurred with other subcontractors as well. What can ABC Corporation do about this?arrow_forwardA young computer engineer has $12,000 to invest and three different investment options (funds) to choose from. Type 1 guaranteed investment funds offer an expected rate of return of 7%, Type 2 mixed funds (part is guaranteed capital) have an expected rate of return of 8%, while an investment on the Stock Exchange involves an expected rate of return of 12%, but without guaranteed investment capital. Computer engineer has decided not to invest more than $2,000 on the Stock Exchange in order to minimize the risk. Moreover for tax reasons, she needs to invest at least three times more in guaranteed investment funds than in mixed funds. Assume that at the end of the year the returns are those expected; she is trying to determine the optimum investment amounts. (a) Express this problem as a linear programming model with two decision variables.(b) Solve the problem with the graphical solution procedure and define the optimum solution.arrow_forwardA company owns a 5-year-old turret lathe that has a book value of $23,000. The present market value for the lathe is $18,000. The expected decline in market value is $1,700/year to a minimum market value of $4,080; maintenance plus operating costs for the lathe equal $4,470/year.A new turret lathe can be purchased for $46,000 and will have an expected life of 8 years. The market value for the turret lathe is expected to equal $46,000(0.70)k at the end of year k. Annual maintenance and operating cost is expected to equal $1,900. Based on a 12% MARR, should the old lathe be replaced now? Use an equivalent uniform annual cost comparison, a planning horizon of 7 years, and the cash flow approach.EUAC for keeping old turret lathe: $EUAC for replacing turret lathe: $arrow_forward
