Answer: Old machine should be replaced.
Explanation:
The variable manufacturing cost will reduce by:
= 624,000 - 524,000
= $100,000
Over a period of 5 years this will be:
= 100,000 * 5
= $500,000
Selling the old machine would bring in $32,000:
= 500,000 + 32,000
= $532,000
The cost of the new machine would reduce this gross benefit by:
= 532,000 - 455,100
= $76,900
<em>Net income will increase by a total of $76,900 over the 5 year period if the new machine is bought so it should be bought. </em>
Answer:
Accounting costs $145,000
Implicit costs $75,000
Opportunity costs $220,000
Explanation:
What her accounting cost will be during the first year of operation.
Based on the information given we were told that the annual overhead costs and operating expenses amounted to the amount of $145,000 which means that the amount of $145,000 will be the ACCOUNTING COSTS
Her IMPLICIT COSTS will be the amount of $75,000 which is the amount she earn in her current job per year.
Her OPPORTUNITY COSTS be the addition of both her Her accounting cost and implicit costs
Hence,
Opportunity cost=$145,000+$75,000
Opportunity cost=$220,000
