Triad Children's Center (TCC), a non-profit organization, uses relevant cost analysis to determine whether new services are desirable. TCC is looking at adding a new educational program for grade school children who are having difficulty with their reading and math skills. The following relevant costs are expected if the program is accepted:
Costs (per year)
Program Director salary
$
39,000
Part-time Assistants
$
28,000
Variable cost per child

- 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%. Assume the insulation has a life of 10 years. (a) Calculate the present worth (PW) of all alternatives. (b) Calculate the future worth (FW) of all alternatives.

- TN Furniture TN Furniture has developed a new type of luxury car seat. The estimated labour time for the first unit is 12 hours, but a learning curve of 75% is expected to apply for the first 8 units produced. The cost of labour is R15 per hour. The cost of materials and other variable overheads is expected to total R230 per unit.TN Furniture plans on pricing the seat by adding a 50% mark-up to the total variable cost per seat, with the labour cost being based on the incremental time taken to produce the 8th unit. Calculate the price that TN Furniture expects to charge for the new seat. ( Round your b (the learning coefficients) to the nearest three decimal places and all other values to two decimal places.) The first phase of production has now been completed for the new car seat. The first unit actually took 12.5 hours to make and the total time for the first eight units was 34.3 hours, at which point the learning effect came to an end.

Due to the steep learning curve required to use the new software, Garrison must decide between hiring two part-time college students or one full-time employee. Each college student would work 20 hours per week, and would earn $1 S per hour. The full-time employee would work 40 hours per week and would earn $15 per hour plus the equivalent of $2 per hour in benefits. Employees are given two polo shirts to wear as their uniform. The polo-shirts cost Garrison $10 each. What are the relevant costs, relevant revenues, sunk costs, and opportunity costs for Garrison?arrow_forward
