The Boring Corporation is considering a 3-year project with an initial cost of $1,020,000. The project will not directly produce any sales but will reduce operating costs by $640,000 a year. The equipment is depreciated straight-line to a zero book value over the life of the project. At the end of the project the equipment will be sold for an estimated $156,000. The tax rate is 34 percent. The project will require $28,000 in extra inventory for spare parts and accessories. Should this project be implemented if The Boring Corporation requires a rate of return of 16 percent? Why or why not?

You are buying a house and will borrow $225,000 on a 30-year fixed rate mortgage with monthly payments to finance the purchase. Your loan officer has offered you a mortgage with an APR of 4.3 percent. Alternatively, she tells you that you can “buy down” the interest rate to 4.05 percent if you pay points up front on the loan. A point on a loan is 1 percent (one percentage point) of the loan value. How many points, at most, would you be willing to pay to buy down the interest rate?

You are trying to predict if audit clients will go bankrupt in the next year. Based on the results from a logistic regression, the actual vs predicted numbers for clients is as follows, when using a 50 percent cutoff probability for predicting that a client will go bankrupt:

One of your colleagues, John, suggests that you should use a 70 percent cutoff probability for predicting that a client will go bankrupt.

Another colleague, Mike, suggests that you should use a 30 percent cutoff probability for predicting that a client will go bankrupt.

Answer the following questions:

(a) Who is correct, in this situation? Explain your answer with appropriate logic.

(b) What will happen to the Actual vs Predicted matrix if you use:

(i) 70 percent cutoff probability suggested by John? That is, how would the total numbers in the two columns and two rows change, if at all they change?

(i) 30 percent cutoff probability suggested by Mike? That is, how would the total numbers in the two columns and two rows change, if at all they change?

The following 12%, $1,000 notes were issued on December 1. Which of the following is the correct method of calculation for the interest accrued as of December 31 of the same year on each of the notes described?

Interest on a 4-month note is calculated as: $1,000 × 12% × 1/12.

Interest on a 3-month note is calculated as: $1,000 × 12% × 1/3.

Interest on a 4-month note is calculated as: $1,000 × 12% × 1/4.

Interest on a 2-year note is calculated as: $1,000 × 12% × 1/24.

DataSpan, Inc., automated its plant at the start of the current year and installed a flexible manufacturing system. The company is also evaluating its suppliers and moving toward Lean Production. Many adjustment problems have been encountered, including problems relating to performance measurement. After much study, the company has decided to use the performance measures below, and it has gathered data relating to these measures for the first four months of operations.

Month

Throughput time (days) ? ? ? ?
Delivery cycle time (days) ? ? ? ?
Manufacturing cycle efficiency (MCE) ? ? ? ?
Percentage of on-time deliveries 83 % 78 % 75 % 72 %
Total sales (units) 2700 2585 2453 2360

Management has asked for your help in computing throughput time, delivery cycle time, and MCE. The following average times have been logged over the last four months:

Average per Month (in days)
1 2 3 4
Move time per unit 0.6 0.3 0.4 0.4
Process time per unit 2.0 1.9 1.8 1.7
Wait time per order before start of production 21.0 23.0 26.0 28.1
Queue time per unit 4.0 4.6 5.3 6.1
Inspection time per unit 0.4 0.5 0.5 0.4


Required:

1-a. Compute the throughput time for each month.

1-b. Compute the delivery cycle time for each month.

1-c. Compute the manufacturing cycle efficiency (MCE) for each month.

2. Evaluate the company’s performance over the last four months.

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.

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.

1-a. Compute the throughput time for each month.
1-b. Compute the delivery cycle time for each month.
1-c. Compute the manufacturing cycle efficiency (MCE) for each month.

(Round your answers to 1 decimal place.)
