- The Union Manufacturing Company is producing two types of products: A and B. The demand forecasts, batch size, and time standards follow in table 2: Table No 2 Product A Product B Demand forecast (units/yr) 1,000 4,000 Batch size (units/batch) 20 10 Processing time (hr/unit) 3.2 4.5 Setup time (hr/batch) 10 20 Both products are produced on the same machine, called Mark I. i) What is the total number of hours required of Mark I equipment for the next year? ii) The company works 250 days per year and operates two shifts, each covering 8 hours. If a 15 percent capacity cushion is maintained, how many hours of capacity can the company expect from each of its Mark I machines?A machine cost $45,000 to purchase. Fuel, oil grease,and minor maintenance are estimated to cost $12.34 peroperating hour. A set of tires cost $3,200 to replace, andtheir estimated life is 2,800 use hours. A $6,000 majorrepair will probably be required after 4,200hr of use. Themachine is expected to last for 8,400 hr, after which itwill be sold at a price equal to 10% of the originalpurchase price. A final set of new tires will not bepurchased before the sale. How much should the ownerof the machine charge per hour of use, if it is expectedthat the machine will operate 1,400 hr per year? Thecompany’s capital rate is 7%.2. Machine A has a price of $60,000, annual operating cost of $24,000, and life of 5 years. Machine B has a price of $120,000, annual operating cost of $12,000, and life of 10 years. At MARR=10% per year, use EAC and PW to choose the better machine. (a) Using EAC, which machine would you choose?
- The potassium industry is perfectly competitive. Firms act as price takers and each firm in the industryoperates only one plant. The following table shows data on incumbent plants in the potassium industry:AverageUnitVariableCost AnnualFixedCosts(millionsper year) Requiredinvestmentto constructnew plant(millions) Salvagevalue ofplantCapacity ofa plant(million tonsper year) Numberofplants $4 per ton $6 $70 $0 1 40 Also: Average variable cost is constant for any output up to full capacity operation. Firms have a cost of capital of 10 percent. All new plants that might be built would be identical to existing plants Market demand is given by the equation, Q = 160 – 5P, where the price P is measured in dollarsper ton and quantity Q is measured in millions of tons. What are the entry price and long-run equilibrium in this industry?Machine A has a price of $60,000, annual operating cost of $24,000, and life of 5 years. Machine B has a price of $120,000, annual operating cost of $12,000, and life of 10 years. At MARR=10% per year, use EAC and PW to choose the better machine. (a) Using EAC, which machine would you choose? (b) Using PW, which machine would you choose?Problem 3-11: The purchase price of a natural gas-fired commercial boiler (Capacity X) was $ 181000 eight years ago. Another boiler of the same basic design, except with capacity 1.42X, is currently being considered for purchase. If it is purchased, some optional features presently costing $28000 would be added for your application. If the cost index was 162 for this type of equipment when the capacity X boiler was purchased and is 221 now, and the applicable cost capacity factor 0.8 what is your estimate of the purchased price for the new boiler?

An electric switch manufacturing company has to choose one of three different assembly methods. Method A will have a first cost of $40,000, an annual operating cost of $9000, and a service life of 2 years. Method B will cost $80,000 to buy and will have an annual operating cost of $6000 over its 4-year service life. Method C will cost $130,000 initially with an annual operating cost of $4000 over its 8-year life. Methods A and B will have no salvage value, but method C will have some equipment worth an estimated $12,000. Which method should be selected? Use present worth analysis at an interest rate of 10% per year.An airport needs a modern material handling system for facilitating access to and from a busy maintenance hangar. A second-hand system will cost $75,000. A new system with improved technology can decrease labor hours by 20% compared to the used system. The new system will cost $150,000 to purchase and install. Both systems have a useful life of five years. The market value of the used system is expected to be $20,000 in five years, and the market value of the new system is anticipated to be $50,000 in five years. Current maintenance activity will require the used system to be operated 8 hours per day for 20 days per month. If labor costs $40 per hour and the MARR is 1% per month, which system should be recommended?
- CleanTech manufactures equipment to mitigate the environmental effects of waste. 2-6 A (a) If Product A has fixed expenses of $15,000 per year and each unit of product has a $0.20 vari- able cost, and Product B has fixed expenses of $5000 per year and a $0.50 variable cost, at what number of units of annual production will A have the same overall cost as B? (b) As a manager at CleanTech what other data would you need to evaluate these two products?A company uses a 50% solution of NaOH to maintain the pH of water circulated in one of its furnace exhaust scrubbers. The cost of the solution is $200 per ton f.o.h. (free-on-board), The supplier says it would prefer to sell the company a 65% NaOH solution and the company says the water content is immaterial ap long as the equivalent costs are the same including freight If the freight is $15 per ton, what is the maximum price per ton the company should pay for the 65% solution?4- A firm is considering three mutually exclusive alternatives as part of a production improvement program. The alternatives are: B (i=10%) C (i=15%) Alternative A (i=12%) 200,000 Installation Cost (U) 270,000 40,500 190,000 Uniform Annual 30,750 30,250 Benefit (U) Useful life in years 12 14 15 Which of the above should be chosen?
