Intel is deciding whether to outsource the production of its Skylake series of processors to Samsung. Intel plans to produce these processors only for the next year, as they are due to be replaced by a new series. Samsung requires a $580 million payment upfront to defray the cost of setting up production and will then sell the chips to Intel for $190 apiece. Intel has a specially - designed facility in Hillsboro, OR which is currently producing the Skylake chip at a cost of $ 220 each. On top of this cost, the facility in Hillsboro has overhead expenses of $170 million per year, $40 million of which could be saved if production is outsourced. What is the minimum number of Skylake chips Intel should expect to sell over the next year if outsourcing is the best decision? Explain briefly. please refer to picture for clear question view and answer of these question were alredy available on chegg portal but were wrong please provide correct answers for these questions

By outbidding its competitors, Turbo Image Processing (TIP), a defense contractor, has received a contract worth $7,300,000 to build navy flight simulators for U.S. Navy pilot training over two years. For some defense contracts, the U.S. government makes an advance payment when the contract is signed, but in this case, the government will make two progressive payments: $4,300,000 at the end of the first year and the $3.000,000 balance at the end of the second year. The expected cash outflows required in order to produce these simulators are estimated to be $1,000,000 now, $2.000,000 during the first year, and $4,320,000 during the second year. The expected net cash flows from this project are summarized as follows: In normal situations, TIP would not even consider a marginal project such as this one in the first place. However, hoping that TIP can establish itself as a technology leader in the field. management felt that it was worth outbidding its competitors by providing the lowest…

Table: Taxi Fleet) Metro Cab is considering replacement of its fleet of old taxicabs. To replace its fleet, Metro must spend $150,000 on new taxicabs. The new taxis will incur $5,000 of maintenance expenses per year. Alternatively, Metro could spend $20,000 today to refurbish its taxicabs and incur an additional $20,000 per year of maintenance expenses for the next three years. Metro would then have to buy new taxicabs for $150,000 at the end of three years, leading to lower maintenance expenses of $5,000 per year. Using an interest rate of 10%, the net present value of the first three years is $____. 65,000 37,272.73 195,000 20,000

You are considering developing an 18-hole championship golf course thatrequires an investment of $20,000,000. This investment cost includes the course development, club house, and golf carts. Once constructed, you expect the maintenance cost for the golf course to be $650,000 in the first year, $700,000 in the second year and continue to increase by $50,000 in subsequent years. The net revenue generated from selling food and beverage will be about 15% of greens fees paid by the players. The cart fee per player is $15, and 40,000 rounds of golf are expected per year. You will own and operate the course complex for 10 years and expect to sell it for $25,000,000. What is the greens fee per round that will provide a return on investment of 15%'? Assume that the green fee will be increased at an annual rate of 5%.
Zonakha Limited specialises in the production of a range of healthy products. It is about to launch a new product, the ‘Healthy Energy Bar’, a unique green bar which is capable of providing unprecedented levels of energy from the seaweed used. The company’s development costs have been high and it is expected that the product will only have a five-year life cycle.Zonakha Limited is now trying to ascertain the best pricing policy that they should adopt for the Energy Bar’s launch onto the market. Demand is very responsive to price changes and research has established that, for every R5,60 increase in price, demand would be expected to fall by 70,000 units. If the company set the price at R72,60, only 280,000 units per week would be demanded.The costs of producing each energy bar is R13,00:Required:(a) Determine the optimum price and quantity at which the company profits would bemaximized.(b) Describe the limitations of using the model in (a) above.Formulae:Demand curve P = a – bQ a =…
A local U.S. Postal Service office is considering purchasing a 4,000 lb forklift truck, which will be used primarily for processing incoming as well as outgoing postal packages. Forklift trucks traditionally have been fueled by either gasoline, liquid propane gas (LPG), or diesel fuel. Battery-powered electric forklifts, however, arc increasingly popular in many industrial sectors because of their economic and environmental benefits. Therefore, the Postal Service is interested in comparing the four different types of forklifts. Purchase costs as well as annual operating and maintenance costs for each type of forklift are provided by a local utility company. Annual fuel and maintenance costs are measured in terms of number of shifts per year, where one shift is equivalent to eight hours of operation. A comparison of the variables of the four forklift types is given in the following table: The Postal Service is unsure of the number of shifts per year, but it expects them to be somewhere…

Firm K is a leading maker of water-proof outerwear. During the winter months, demand for its main line of waterproof coats is given by P = 800 − 0.14Q, where P denotes price in dollars and Q is quantity of units sold per month. The firm produces coats in a single plant (which it leases by the year). The total monthly cost of producing these coats is estimated to be C = 175,000 + 300Q + 0.2Q2. (Leasing the plant accounts for almost all of the $175,000 fixed cost.) What price should the firm charge to sell its profit-maximizing output Q? (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)
