6. Electrical switch manufacturing companies must choose one of three different assembly methods. Method A will have an initial cost of $40,000, annual operating costs of $9,000, and a 2 year lifetime. Method B will cost $80,000 to purchase and will have an annual operating cost of $6,000 over its 4 year service life. Method C will cost $130,000 initially with an annual operating cost of $4,000 over its 8 year life. Methods A and B will have no salvage value, but method C will have a salvage value for some equipment that is approximately $12,000. Which method to choose? Use present value analysis at an interest rate of 10% per annum if the alternatives are mutually independent A. A and B B. B and C C. C D.

A certain operation is now performed by hand, the labor cost per unit is P 54 and annual fixed charge for tool use is P 10,000. A machine that is considered for this job will coast P 240,000, and have a salvage value of P 10,000 at the end of its 6 - year life. With it labor cost is P 22 per unit and annual fixed charge is P 20,000. At what number of units per year, at zero interest, will the cost of the two methods break even? Select one: a. 1,150 b. 1,105 c. 1,501 d. 1,510
Show complete solutiion. Do not use excel. Manual Method. Steel drums manufacturer incurs a yearly operating cost of P 200,000. Each drum manufactured cost P 160 and sells for P 300. A machine use for the production has a first cost of P 20,000 and a salvage value of P 2,000 after producing 1,000 units. What is the break even number of units per year?
2-36. A gear manufacturer produces gears for a ma- chine. Two processes, casting and forging, are possible for manufacturing, and the parameters of each process are as follows Casting Forging Production rate 80 gears per hour 10 hours per day 40 gears per hour 16 hour per day Daily production time Percent of parts rejected based on visual inspection (20% 10% Assume that the daily demand for gears allows all defect-free gears to be sold. Additionally tested or rejected gears cannot be sold. Find the process that maximizes profit per day if each part is made from $5 worth of material and can be sold for $70) Both processes are fully automated, and variable overhead cost is charged at the rate of $90 per hour.
