A 3 year-old a computer-controlled fabric cutting machine, which had a $25,000purchasing price, has a current market (trade-in) value of $10,000 and expectedO&M costs of $4,000, increasing by 1,000 per year. The machine is required to havean immediate repair that costs $2,000. The estimated market values are expected todecline by 20% annually (going forward). The machine can be used for another 7years at most. The new machine has a $40,000 purchasing price. The new machine'sO&M cost is estimated to be $4,000 for the first year, decreasing at an annual rate of$100 thereafter. The firm's MARR is 10%. Assume a unique minimum AEC(10%) forboth machines (both the current and replacement machine).Using the information above, determine the economic service life along with theoptimum annual equivalent cost of the defender (This is an infinite Horizon decisionproblem).a) n=4 and AEC=Between $8,400 and $8,800b) n=4 and AEC=Between $8,000 and $8,400c) n=5 and AEC=Between $8,400 and $8,800O d) None of the answers are correcte) n=3 and AEC=Between $8,000 and $8,400f) n=2 and AEC=Between $8,000 and $8,400

Given that' MARR = 10% =0.1 AEC = 10% =0.1 O&M cost = $4000 Increase in O&M cost = $1000…

Pendryl Office Supplies is evaluating the profitability of leasing a photocopier for its customers to use on a self serve basis at 10 cents/copy. The copier may be leased for $300 per month plus 1.5 cents per copy on a full service contract. Pendryl can purchase paper at $5 per 500 sheet ream. Toner costs $100 per bottle, which in normal use will last for 5000 pages. Pendryl thinks that there are additional other costs of 0.5 cents per copy. A.

Machine A was purchased last year for $20,000 and had an estimated market value of $2,000 at the end of its 6-year useful life. Annual operating costs are $2,000. The machine will perform satisfactorily over the next 5 years. A salesperson for another company is offering a replacement, machine B , for $14,000 with a market value of $1,400 after 5 years. Annual operating costs for machine B will only be $1,400. A trade-in allowance of $10,400 has been offered for machine A. If the MARR is 12% per year, should you buy the new machine?

Hazard Prevention Work places contain a wide range of hazards, some known, others less so. We have learned to control most of them, sometimes instinctively, sometimes intentionally. Given the ever-increasing complexity of work places, we can no longer rely on instinct alone. Risk must be managed just like any other business function. The negative impacts are so costly in human and financial terms that we must control them a)Describe the measures used in hazard prevention and control in work places (Stating examples of some of the hazards encountered in work places b) Using relevant examples and illustrations, explain the following types of consent and demonstrate how you would use them in first aid Involuntary consent Implied consent Expressed consent
