EDP is trying to decide between two different conveyor belt systems. System A costs $438,000, has a six-year life, and requires

$83,000 in pretax annual operating costs. System B costs $369,000, has a five-year life, and requires $92,000 in pretax annual operating costs. Both systems are to be depreciated straight-line to zero over their lives and will have a zero salvage value. Whichever system is chosen, it will not be replaced when it wears out. The tax rate is 23 percent and the discount rate is 14.2 percent. Which system should the firm choose and why?

The firm should choose system A because it has a six-year life and a lesser annual operating cost.                                                                  

<u>Explanation</u>:

  • Even though system A costs $438,000 the quality of the system is good. The quality of system A has a six-year life. So the quality is pretty good. It has an $83,000 tax annual operating cost.
  • System B costs $369,000 . Compared to the cost of system A, system B is low. But it has a $92,000 tax annual operating cost. This tax is higher than A.
  • System A has a higher life compared to system B. So the firm should choose system A.

Answer: (2) invest $1,000 in each of ten companies that have justhired Fisher graduates

Explanation:

This is the better option because if you invest all the money into one company, you stand a chance of losing all your money should the company fail.

It is better to invest in 10 companies that hired Fisher graduates. Why?

Diversification.

Diversification is investing in multiple investment vehicles to hedge your investments and ensure that you do not lose it all if one or a few investment go awry. By investing in 10 companies, you would be practicing diversification which would ensure that you do not lose it all on 1 company.

You also stand a chance to make more profit if a couple of those companies outperform your estimates.

Please do react or comment if you need any clarification or if the question was right so that you may help the next person. Thank you.

We have said that strategic management is an evolution and a destination. What does this mean? Discuss in detail
damaskus [11]

Explanation:

Strategic management is an evolution and a destination due to the fact that the organizational strategy is developed in pursuit of objectives and goals. This means that action plans for achieving goals can be changed according to internal or external interference.

A company's strategy is not inert, so strategic management will be carried out according to the market situation, the internal environment and other variables, so that there is monitoring, organization and strategic coordination of the company according to its environment.
