Samy Company manufactures two types of tables, model K and J. The production of a model K table requires a capital expenditure of RM 6 and 2 hours of labor. The production of a model J table requires a capital of RM 4 and 5 hours of labor. The company has RM 240 capital and 100 hours of labor available for the production of the two models of tables per week. A model K table contributes a profit of RM 30 while model J contributes RM 40. a. Formulate the problem using linear programming model. b. How many of each type of table should the firm produce to maximize the profit? c. What is the maximum pro

Questions 2 – Capital budgeting and NPV Responsible Testing Company may buy DNA‐testing equipment A costing $60,000 now (at year 0). This equipment is expected to reduce labor costs of the clinical staff, net of all staff training expenditures, by $20,000 annually in the subsequent years following the investment. Equipment A has a useful life of 8 years and can be straight‐line‐depreciated over its years of operations. No salvage value is expected at the end. The corporate tax rate (combined federal and state) is 40% and the company’s required rate‐of‐return is 15%. (2a) Describe the company’s “investment project”. Calculate the relevant cash flows and use the NPV method to determine the attractiveness of this project. (2b) Suppose that in the second year (year 2) a more efficient and effective DNA‐testing equipment B is expected to enter the market. The new equipment costs $90,000, will have an effective operating life of 6 years, can be straight‐line‐depreciated but…
Problem 3-14 (Algo) Demand for stereo headphones and music players for joggers has caused Nina Industries to grow almost 50 percent over the past year. The number of joggers continues to expand, so Nina expects demand for headsets to also expand, because, as yet, no safety laws have been passed to prevent joggers from wearing them.
