Answer the following question(s) using the information below.John's 8-year-old Chevrolet Trail Blazer requires repairs estimated at $6,000 to make it roadworthy again.His wife, Sherry, suggested that he should buy a 5-year-old used Jeep Grand Cherokee instead for $6,000 cash.Sherry estimated the following costs for the two cars:
-Koch Brothers purchased a new production machine for $200,000.It is capable of producing 400,000 units over its useful life, thus the manufacturer's salesperson claimed the unit cost would only be $0.50.Koch's own engineers recommended that the company acquire a machine that would have a unit cost of production of no more than $0.48 (with a $0.03 variance) .A competitor of the vendor, who also was trying to sell Koch some equipment, claimed that the $0.50 is understated by $0.04 per unit.The total anticipated demand over the asset's useful life is 300,000 units.Relevant information includes
A) the $0.50 unit cost.
