Dr. Whitley Avard, a plastic surgeon, had just returned from a conference in which she learned of a new surgical procedure for removing wrinkles around eyes, reducing the time to perform the normal procedure by 50%. Given her patient-load pressures, Dr. Avard is excited to try out the new technique. By decreasing the time spent on eye treatments or procedures, she can increase her total revenues by performing more services within a work period. In order to implement the new procedure, special equipment costing $74,000 is needed. The equipment has an expected life of 4 years, with a salvage value of $6,000. Dr. Avard estimates that her cash revenues will increase by the following amounts:
Year
Revenue Increases
1
$19,800

- Faced with rising pressure for $14 per hour minimum wage rate, the farming industry is currently exploring the possible use of robotics to replace some farm workers. The Lettuce Techis one such robot; its job is to thin out a field of lettuce, removing the least promising buds of lettuce. By removing these weaker plants, the stronger lettuce plants have more room to grow. Assume the following facts: One Lettuce Tech would do the work of 25 farm workers. 2. Each farm worker typically works 45 hours on the lettuce thinning process each year. 3. Each farm worker would earn $14 per hour plus 7.65% payroll tax. 4. The Lettuce Tech is estimated to cost $6,000 plus $900 for delivery. 5. Annual costs of operating the Lettuce Tech are expected to be $1,200. While the Lettuce Tech itself may be in workable condition for up to five years, assume that the farm would view its implementation as a one-year experiment.
