A manufacturing company is considering the acquisition of a TR-LX61, a new robotic machine that is supposed to reduce the variable cost or unit cost of production. Since the acquisition of the TR-LX61 will involve some expenditures, management is willing to buy the machine only if they can be conviced that production costs will be less than $6.67 per unit produced.
Based on examination of 25 randomly selected units, they obtained an average variable cost of $6.72 and a standard deviation of $1.12.
What is the value of the test statistic to determine if production costs per unit are less than $6.67 ? (Use 3 DECIMALS)

Exercise 7-56 Expenditures After Acquisition Roanoke Manufacturing placed a robotic arm on a large assembly machine on January 1, 2019. At that time, the assembly machine was expected to last another 3 years. The following information is available concerning the assembly machine. Cost, assembly machine Accumulated depreciation, 1/1/2019 $750,000 480,000 The robotic arm cost $225,000 and was expected to extend the useful life of the machine by 3 years. Therefore, the useful life of the assembly machine, after the arm...
Question 3 10 pts A company is considering two designs for a machine in its manufacturing line. The first, called machine A, will cost $140000 in fixed costs and will cost $80 per unit in variable costs, for each unit it produces. The second, called B, will cost $250000 in fixed costs and will cost $5 per unit in variable costs, for each unit it produces. At what volume of production will the two machines cost the same? (In other...
New-Project Analysis The Campbell Company is considering adding a robotic paint sprayer to its production line. The sprayer's base price is $810,000, and it would cost another $23,000 to install it. The machine falls into the MACRS 3-year class (the applicable MACRS depreciation rates are 33.33%, 44.45%, 14.81%, and 7.41%), and it would be sold after 3 years for $628,000. The machine would require an increase in net working capital (inventory) of $19,500. The sprayer would not change revenues, but...
10-12 Xinhong Company is considering replacing one of its manufacturing machines. The machine has a book value of $39,000 and a remaining useful life of 5 years, at which time its salvage value will be zero. It has a current market value of $49,000. Variable manufacturing costs are $33,800 per year for this machine. Information on two alternative replacement machines follows. Alternative A $123,000 Alternative B $110,000 Cost Variable manufacturing costs per year 22,100 10,100 Calculate the total change in...
13-6 New Project Analysis The Campbell Company is considering adding a robotic paint sprayer to its production line. The sprayer's base price is $1,080,000.00, and it would cost another $22,500.00 to install it. The machine falls into the MACRS 3-year class, and it would be sold after 3 years for $605,000.00. The MACRS rates for the first three years are 0.3333, 0.4445, and 0.1481. The machine would require an increase in net working capital (inventory) of $15,500.00. The sprayer would...
Excelsior Company is evaluating the proposed acquisition of a new production machine. The base price is $260,000, and installation costs would amount to $28,000. An additional $10,0 working capital would be required at installation. The machine has a class life of 3 years. The would save the firm $110,000 per year in operating costs. The firm is planning to keep the n place for 5 years. At the end of the fifth year, the firm plans to sell the machine...
Xinhong Company is considering replacing one of its manufacturing machines. The machine has a book value of $44,000 and a remaining useful life of four years, at which time its salvage value will be zero. It has a current market value of $54,000. Variable manufacturing costs are $33,100 per year for this machine. Information on two alternative replacement machines follows. Cost Variable manufacturing costs per year Alternative A $120,000 22,900 Alternative B $119,000 10,400 Calculate the total change in net...
3.0 Absolute Return The company Derabel, S.A. is considering buying a new machine for its production process. This project means an initial cost of € 200,000 and the machine is estimated to have a useful life of 5 years. The maximum productive capacity of the machine is 200,000 units per year. However, the first year it is expected that the activity will be 70% of the maximum installed capacity, reaching 100% from the second year. During the first year, the...
