Two technologies are currently available for the manufacture of an important and expensive food and drug additive. Laboratory A is willing to release the exclusive right to manufacture the additive in this country for $50,000 payable immediately, and a $40,000 payment each year for the next 10 years. The production costs are $1.23 per unit of product. Laboratory B is also willing to release similar manufacturing rights, with the following schedule of payments: on the closing of the contract, $10,000 from Years 1 to 5, at the end of each year, a payment of $25,000 each from Years 6 to 10, also at the end of each year, a payment of $20,000 The production costs are $1.37 per unit of product. Neither lab is to receive any money after 10 years for this contract. It is anticipated there will be an annual production of 100,000 items for the next 10 years. On the basis of analyses and trials, the products of A and B are practically identical in quality. Assuming a MARR of 12%, which lab should…
Calisto Launch Services is an independent space corporation and has been contracted to develop and launch one of two different satellites. Initial equipment will cost $750,000 for the first satellite and $850,000 for the second. Development will take 5 years at an expected cost of $150,000 per year for the first satellite; $120,000 per year for the second. The same launch vehicle can be used for either satellite and will cost $275,000 at the time of the launch 5 years from now. At the conclusion of the launch, the contracting company will pay Calisto $2,500,000 for either satellite. Calisto is also considering whether they should consider launching both satellites. Because Calisto would have to upgrade its facilities to handle two concurrent projects, the initial costs would rise by $150,000 in addition to the first costs of each satellite. Calisto would need to hire additional engineers and workers, raising the yearly costs to a total of $400,000. An additional compartment would be…
&J Industries is considering a new project. Prior to making this decision, the company hired a consultant, at a cost of $24,160, to determine the viability of this new project. The project will require $286,600 for the purchase of the new machine. There will be $11,000 in delivery charges and $1,550 will be spent on a technician to calibrate the machine. The plan is to set up the new machine on land that the company currently owns. The land was purchased many years ago for $10,000 and currently has a market value of $30,000. The new project will require an additional $1,300 in inventory, $970 in accounts receivables and accounts payable is expected to increase by $1,000. The new machine belongs in a 30% CCA class. Because the industry is changing rapidly, the equipment will be obsolete in 5 years with no salvage value. The net working capital will return to its original levels at the end of the project. The project is expected to generate additional revenues of $40,200 and expenses…
