In the design of a jet engine part, the designer has a choice ofspecifying either an aluminium alloy casting or a steel casting. Either materialwill provide equal service, but the aluminium casting will weigh 1.2 kg ascompared with 1.35 kg for the steel casting.The aluminium can be cast for $. 80.00 per kg. and the steel one for$ 35.00 per kg. The cost of machining per unit is $. 150.00 for aluminiumand $. 170.00 for steel. Every kilogram of excess weight is associated witha penalty of $. 1,300 due to increased fuel consumption. Cost of using aluminium metal for the jet engine part?
Mid-Valley Industrial Extension Service, a state-sponsoredagency, provides water quality sampling services toall business and industrial firms in a 10-county region.Last month, the service purchased all necessary lab equipmentfor full in-house testing and analysis. Now, an outsourcingcompany has offered to take over this function ona per-sample basis. Data and quotes for the two optionshave been collected. The MARR for government projectsis 5% per year and a study period of 8 years is chosen.In-house: Equipment and supplies initially cost$125,000 for a life of 8 years, an AOCof $15,000, and annual salaries of$175,000. Sample costs average $25.There is no significant salvage valuefor the equipment and supplies currentlyowned.Outsourced: Cost averages $100 per sample for thefirst 5 years, increasing to $125 persample for years 6 through 8. Determine the breakeven number of tests between the two options.
