Galactic inc. is considering an investment in new equipment that will be used to manufacture a smartphone. the phone is expected to generate additional annual sales of 6,000 units at $250 per unit. the equipment has a cost of $850,000, residual value of $50,000, and an eight-year life. the equipment can only be used to manufacture the phone. the cost to manufacture the phone follows: cost per unit: direct labor $ 15.00 direct materials 134.00 factory overhead (including depreciation) 33.50 total cost per unit $182.50 determine the average rate of return on the equipment. if required, round to the nearest whole percent.

Average Return = 63.125%

Step-by-step explanation:

With the provided information we have,

Total cost of investment = $850,000

Salvage value = $50,000

Expected life = 8 years

Depreciation as per straight line method = $100,000

i.e.

Sales Revenue = $250 per unit for 6,000 units = $1,500,000

Less: Costs Excluding depreciation as the return is to be calculated based on cost of equipment.

Less: Total cost = (182.50 6,000) - $100,000 depreciation

= $995,000

Thus: return = $505,000

Average investment = $850,000 in beginning and $750,000 in year end.

thus average = $800,000

Average return = $505,000/$800,000 = 63.125%

correct answer is infinitely many solutions

step-by-step explanation:

2(2x + 3) = -4 + 2(2x + 5)

solving the above equation:

4x + 6 = -4 +4x +10

combining like terms

4x -4x = -4+10-6

0=0

since both sides are 0=0, we end up into true statement it means it has infinite many solutions.

so correct answer is infinitely many solutions

yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes
