E8-30A Determine maximum outsourcing price (Learning Objective 6)
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?
Question ENGINEERING ECONOMICS
You want to launch a printing services business on campus. The initial cost to get the business running with a September 1st launch date would be $2,000. You estimate that the revenues would approximately offset your costs (e.g. paper, toner, etc.) in the first month of operation so that the monthly profit would be $0. Afterwards, you estimate that profits would increase by $80 each month until the end of the academic year (i.e. $80 profit in October, $160 profit in November, etc. until the end of April). Your annual MARR is 10%, compounded monthly. (a) Calculate the internal rate of return for your investment based on an 8 months study period. Select the appropriate IRR between options 1 to 4 below. (b) Suppose that you now consider another investment opportunity for your printing business services, also with monthly profits, and the internal rate of return of 3%. Is this alternative economically feasible based on IRR?
