Question

Cupcakes can be produced on two different automation lines. Detailed information about each production line can be found in the table below. How many tons per year would be required to justify choosing the first production line if the MARR was 15% per year? Note that the solution is in $1k.

Production Costs Activity. Use the table below to complete the activity: First and Second Shift Capacity Product Segment Name Automation Cost Double Cost to Raise Level Capacity Automation to 10.0 Traditional 1800 2988 Low End 1400 2008 High End 900 Echo Performance Edge 600 Size 600 Increasing capacity by 56 per unit with an adjustment for automation: Capacity Next Round = First Shift Capacity x [56 - automation level] Example Input: 502 Increasing automation capacity found under Automation Total Capacity Next Round for each product in that segment x 2: Formula: First Shift Capacity * [54 * automation level] Example Input: 700 In the simulation, the input cells are in thousands (000's), so if you input 500, it means 500,000 units. This applies to dollar values as well.
