1-b. Compute the manufacturing cycle efficiency (MCE) for each month. (Round your answers to 1 decimal place.)

1-c. Compute the delivery cycle time for each month. (Round your answers to 1 decimal place.)

3-a. Refer to the move time, process time, and so forth, given for month 4. Assume that in month 5 the move time, process time, and so forth, are the same as in month 4, except that through the use of Lean Production the company is able to completely eliminate the queue time during production. Compute the new throughput time and MCE. (Round your answers to 1 decimal place.)


3-b. Refer to the move time, process time, and so forth, given for month 4. Assume in month 6 that the move time, process time, and so forth, are again the same as in month 4, except that the company is able to completely eliminate both the queue time during production and the inspection time. Compute the new throughput time and MCE. (Round your answers to 1 decimal place.)

Karsted Air Services is now in the final year of a project. The equipment originally cost $35 million, of which 90% has been depreciated. Karsted can sell the used equipment today for $8.75 million, and its tax rate is 30%. What is the equipment's after-tax salvage value? Round your answer to the nearest dollar. Write out your answer completely. For example, 13 million should be entered as 13,000,000. Marble Construction estimates that its WACC is 10% if equity comes from retained earnings. However, if the company issues new stock to raise new equity, it estimates that its WACC will rise to 10.8%. The company believes that it will exhaust its retained earnings at $2,500,000 of capital due to the number of highly profitable projects available to the firm and its limited earnings. The company is considering the following seven investment projects: Project Size IRR A $650,000 14.0% B 1,050,000 13.5 C 1,000,000 11.2 D 1,200,000 11.0 E 500,000 10.7 F 650,000 10.3 G 700,000 10.2 Assume that each of these projects is independent and that each is just as risky as the firm's existing assets. Which set of projects should be accepted? Project A Project B Project C Project D Project E Project F Project G What is the firm's optimal capital budget? Write out your answer completely. For example, 13 million should be entered as 13,000,000. $
