A land development company is considering the purchase of earth-moving equipment. This equipment will have an estimated first cost of $199,000, a salvage value of $65,000, a life of 10 years, a maintenance cost of $32,000 per year, and an operating cost of $220 per day. Alternatively, the company can rent the necessary equipment for $1130 per day and hire a driver at $180 per day. If the company's MARR is 10% per year, how many days per year must the company need the equipment in order to justify its purchase?

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the number of days per year that the company will need the equipment in order to justify its purchase b represented by x.

Based on the information given, this will then be:

1130x + 180x = 199000(A/P, 10%,10) - 65000(A/F, 10%, 10), + 32000 + 220x

1310x = 199000(0.1627) - 65000(0.0627) + 32000 + 20x

1310x - 20x = 32377.3 - 4075.5 + 32000

1290x = 60301.8

x = 60301.8/1290

x = 46.75

Therefore, the answer is 46.75 days.

Tesla, founded in 2003, is a company that specializes in electric power technology. The firm sells its powertrain components to other car companies. At the same time, it is selling a high-performance electric Roadster and the Model S and Model X luxury cars. The company is serving two customers at the same time, both with a focused differentiation strategy: high-end car buyers and car manufacturers with electric cars in their portfolio. This has a potential conflict, creating potential competitors for the end-user businesses who have deeper pockets and a wider reach, which could slow our growth to car buyers. However, your founder, Elon Musk, believes that electric cars should be available for everyone.

Required:
Analyze the situation. Which strategy do you think Tesla should pursue moving forward to align with Mr. Musk’s goals?

Raposa, Inc., produces a special line of plastic toy racing cars. Raposa, Inc., produces the cars in batches. To manufacture a batch of the cars, Raposa, Inc., must set up the machines and molds. Setup costs are batch-level costs because they are associated with batches rather than individual units of products. A separate Setup Department is responsible for setting up machines and molds for different styles of car.

Setup overhead costs consist of some costs that are variable and some costs that are fixed with respect to the number of setup-hours. The following information pertains to June 2015:

Actual amount Static-budget Amounts
Amounts Units produced and sold 15,700 11,950
Batch size (number of units per batch) 325 265
Setup-hours per batch 3 4.25
Variable overhead cost per setup-hour $48 $45
Total fixed setup overhead costs $11,310 $9,010

Calculate the efficiency variance for variable overhead setup costs. (Round all intermediary calculations two decimal places and your final answer to the nearest whole number.)

a. $435 unfavorable
b. $4,810 favorable
c. $4,810 unfavorable
