In connection with surfacing a new highway, a contractor has a choice of two sites on which to set up the mixing plant equipment. The contractor estimates that it will cost P51.75 per cubic meter per kilometer to haul the asphalt paving material from the mixing plant to the job site. If site B is selected, there will be an added charge of P600 per day for a flagman and it needs 2 flagman. The job requires 50,000 cubic meters of mixed asphalt paving material. It is estimated that four months (17 weeks of five working days per week) will be required for the job. Cost Factors Site A Site B Average hauling distance 6 km 4.3 km Monthly rental of site P45,000 P225,000 Cost to setup and remove equipment P675,000 P1,125,000 Hauling expense P51.75/ Cu.m/km P51.75/ Cu.m/km a) Compare the two sites in terms of their fixed, variable, and total costs. b) For the selected site, how much profit can be made if it is paid P362.25 per cubic meter delivered to the job site?

Tim Urban, owner/manager of Urban's Motor Court in Key West, is considering outsourcing the daily room cleanup for his motel to Duffy's Maid Service. Tim rents an average of 50 rooms for each of 365 nights (365 x 50 equals the total rooms rented for the year). Tim's cost to clean a room is $13.00. The Duffy's Maid Service quote is $18.00 per room plus a fixed cost of $26,000 for sundry items such as uniforms with the motel's name. Tim's annual fixed cost for space, equipment, and supplies is $61,000. Based on the given information related to costs for each of the options, the crossover point for Tim = ☐ room nights (round your response to the nearest whole number).

The production manager on the Ofon Phase 2 offshore platform operated by Total S.A. must purchase specialized environmental equipment or an equivalent service. The first cost is $250,000 with an AOC of $66,000. The manager has let it be known that he does not care about the salvage value because he thinks it will make no difference in the decision-making process. His supervisor estimates the salvage might be as high as $100,000 or as low as $10,000 in 3 years, at which time the equipment will be unnecessary. Alternatively, a subcontractor can provide the service for $165,000 per year. The total offshore project MARR is 13% per year. Determine if the decision to buy the equipment is sensitive to the salvage value.     The annual worth of high salvage value is $______________                                           142,525 incorrect..   The annual worth of low salvage value is $_______________                                           168,940 incorrect..   Decision is sensitive…

Letang Industrial Systems Company (LSC) is trying to decide between two different conveyor belt systems. System A costs $325,000, has a four-year life, and requires $121,000 in pretax annual operating costs. System B costs $405,000, has a sle-year life. and requires $115,000 in pretax annual operating costs. Suppose the company always needs a conveyor belt system when one wears out, it must be replaced. Assume the tax rate is 22 percent and the discount rate is 11 percent Calculate the EAC for both conveyor belt systems. (A negative answer should be Indicated by a minus sign. Do not round Intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) System A System D 11:36 AM/

Letang Industrial Systems Company (LISC) is trying to decide between two different conveyor belt systems. System A costs $335,000, has a four-year life, and requires $129,000 in pretax annual operating costs. System B costs $415,000, has a six-year life, and requires $123,000 in pretax annual operating costs. Both systems are to be depreciated straight-line to zero over their lives and will have zero salvage value. Whichever project is chosen, it will not be replaced when it wears out. The tax rate is 24 percent and the discount rate is 9 percent. Calculate the NPV for both conveyor belt systems. (A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) System A System B

A proposed building may be roofed in either composition roofing (C) or galvanized steel sheet (S). The composition roof costs $56,000 and is replaced every 5 years (assume at the same cost). The steel roof costs $68,000 but the useful life is very long. Neither roof has any salvage value, nor is maintenance needed. If the MARR is 10%, what minimum life must the steel roof have to make it the better alternative? (Report to the nearest whole year; don't bother interpolating.)

Mr. Buzz Lightyear is the project manager for a satellite project. He calculates that an in-house solution will cost the company $320,000 to create the top-secret software package and based on OPA information, another $10,000 per month to maintain the software. Ms. Hrt Thickl, the purchaser for the project advises Buzz that it would cost the project $233,000 to purchase the software. However the supplier requires a maintenance plan for each program installed which will cost the project $15,000 per month. Once the satellite is built the company plans on orbiting the satellite in a low orbit around Earth for 730 days.   Question of Project Procurement
