A new manufacturing plant costs $5,150,000 to build. Operating and maintenance costs are estimated to be $43,000 per year, and a salvage value of 25% of the initial cost is expected. The units the plant produces are sold for $35 each. Sales and production are designed to run 365 days per year. The planning horizon is 10 years. Find the break-even value for the number of units sold per day for each of the following values of MARR:
A/ 5%
Break-even value: units
Carry all interim calculations to 5 decimal places and
then round your final answer up to the nearest unit. The tolerance
is ±1.
B/ 10%
Break-even value: units
Carry all interim calculations to 5 decimal places and
then round your final answer up to the nearest unit. The tolerance
is ±1.
C/ 15%
Break-even value: units
Carry all interim calculations to 5 decimal places and
then round your final answer up to the nearest unit. The tolerance
is ±1.
