lamilton Containers manufactures a variety of boxes used for packaging. Sales of its
Model A20 box have increased significantly to a total of 430,000 A20 boxes. Hamilton
has enough existing production capacity to make all of the boxes it needs. The variable
cost of making each A20 box is $0.80. By outsourcing the manufacture of these A20
boxes, Hamilton can reduce its current fixed costs by $103,200. There is no alternative
use for the factory space freed up through outsourcing, so it will just remain idle.
What is the maximum Hamilton will pay per Model A20 box to outsource production
of this box?

- Please Show Work and formulas used in Excel 3. A local college is installing steam pipes on their campus and must decide what insulation to use. If no insulation is used, it has been estimated that the heat loss per foot will be $2.10. If 1-inch thick insulation is used, 70% of the heat loss will be eliminated. If 2-inch thick insulation is used, 84% of the heat loss will be eliminated. The 1-inch thick insulation costs $0.30 per foot to install, and the 2-inch thick insulation costs $0.80 per foot to install. The campus has 230,000 ft of steam pipe on campus, and a MARR=10%.
