One of two alternatives will be selected to reduce flood damage in a rural community in central Arizona. The estimates associated with each alternative are available. Use B/C analysis at a discount rate of 8% per year over a 20-year study period to determine which alternative should be selected. For analysis purposes only, assume that the benefits of reduced flood damage are available in years 3, 9, and 18 of the study period.
Retention Pond Channel
Initial Cost, $880,000 1,500,000
Annual Maintenance, $/Year 92,000 30,000
Reduced Flood Damage, $ 200,000 625,000

Answer:

Since the incremental B/C of 58.21 is less greater 1, it implies that the alternative that should be selected is Channel.

Explanation:

The alternative that should be selected can be determined using the Benefit-Cost (B/C) analysis as follows:

Incremental B/C = [Incremental Flood damage savings * ((1 + r)^-3 + (1 + r)^-9 + ((1 + r)^-18)] / [Incremental initial cost + (Incremental Annual Maintenance cost * ((1 - (1 / (1 + r))^n) / r))] ............... (1)

Where:

Incremental initial cost = Channel initial cost - Retention pond initial cost = $1,500,000 - $880,000 = $620,000

Incremental Annual Maintenance cost = Channel Annual Maintenance - Retention pond Annual Maintenance = $30,000 - $92,000 = -$62,000

Incremental flood damage savings = Channel Incremental flood damage savings - Retention pond incremental flood damage savings = $625,000 - $200,000 = $425,000

r = Discount rate = 8%, or 0.08

n = number of years = 20

Substituting all the relevant values into equation (1), we have:

Incremental B/C = [425000 * ((1+0.08)^-3 + (1+0.08)^-9 + (1+0.08)^-18)] / [$620,000 - ($62,000 * ((1 - (1 / (1 + 0.08))^20) / 0.08))]

Incremental B/C = $656,340.35 / $11,274.86

Incremental B/C = 58.2127235166936

Rounding to 2 decimal places, we have:

Incremental B/C = 58.21

Since the incremental B/C of 58.21 is less greater 1, it implies that the alternative that should be selected is Channel.

A small fast-food restaurant is automating its burger production. The owner needs to decide whether to rent a machine that can produce up to 2,000 hamburgers per week at a marginal cost of $1 per burger (excluding the cost of ingredients) or another machine that can also make up to 2,000 burgers per week but at a marginal cost of $0.50 per burger (again, excluding the cost of ingredients). The weekly lease for the machine with the higher marginal cost is $1,800. The weekly lease for the machine with the lower marginal cost is $2,170. The restaurant can sell burgers for $10 per burger, and the cost of ingredients for each burger is $2.
Suppose the restaurant leases the machine with the higher marginal cost for the first week and sells 2,000 burgers that week. The restaurant owner earned profits of $_____in the first week.
Suppose now the restaurant leases the machine with the lower marginal cost for the second week and again sells 2,000 burgers that week. The restaurant owner earned profits of $_____in the second week.

Ethical Concerns in Human Resources
Ethics refers to fundamental principles of right and wrong; ethical behavior is behavior that is consistent with those principles. HRM decisions should be ethical, but the evidence suggests that is not always the case. Many ethical issues in the workplace involve HRM. In the context of ethical human resource management, HR managers must view employees as having basic rights. This activity is important because it will give you an opportunity to examine the four principles for ethical behavior and the basic rights employees should expect in the work environment.
HR managers must view employees as having basic rights, for such a view reflects ethical principles embodied in the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights. Organizations often face situations in which the rights of employees are affected. Ethical, successful companies act according to four principles: emphasizing mutual benefits, employees assuming responsibility for the actions of the company, companies having a sense of purpose or vision that employees value, and emphasizing fairness. The goal of this activity is to discuss ethical issues in human resource management.
Read each work situation, then correctly match it to the ethical concern it represents.
1. Right of freedom of speech
2. Right of privacy
3. Right of freedom of conscience
4. Right to due process
5. Right of free consent
Match each of the options above to the items below.
A. Mike, a new employee, was distressed to learn that he was expected to help with the illegal dumping of medical waste.
B. One of the important messages of HIPPA (the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) is the need to keep employee health records confidential.

D. Many companies establish Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs), which offer employees many important benefits, including a complaint process so that employees will feel free to share their concerns.
E. Ed felt he was being demoted because of his age, not of his performance, so he asked for a meeting with the director of HR.

Larry is considering two investment strategies. The first strategy involves putting all of his available funds in Project X. If Project X succeeds, he will receive a $10,000 return, and if it fails, he will suffer a $2,000 loss. There is a 70% chance Project X will succeed and a 30% chance it will fail.
The second strategy involves diversification: investing half of his funds in Project X and half of his funds in Project Y (which has the same payoff structure as Project X).

If both projects succeed, he will receive a $5,000 return from Project X and a $5,000 return from Project Y, for a net gain of $10,000.
If both projects fail, he will suffer a $1,000 loss on Project X and a $1,000 loss on Project Y, for a net loss of $2,000.
If one project succeeds and one fails, he will receive a $5,000 return from the successful project and will suffer a $1,000 loss on the failed project, for a net gain of $4,000.

As with Project X, there is a 70% chance that Project Y will succeed and a 30% chance that it will fail. Assume that the outcomes of Project X and Project Y are independent. That is, the success or failure of Project X has nothing to do with the success or failure of Project Y.
The expected payoff from the first strategy (investing everything in Project X) is :__________

Pack-and-Go, a new competitor to FedEx and UPS, does intra-city package deliveries in seven major metropolitan areas. The performance of Pack-and-Go is measured by management as: (1) delivery time (relative to budgeted delivery time), (2) on-time delivery rates (defined as agreed-upon delivery date/time plus or minus a specified cushion), and (3) percentage of lost or damaged deliveries. In response to competitive pressures, Pack-and-Go is evaluating an investment in new technology that would improve customer service and delivery quality, particularly in terms of items (2) and (3) above. The annual cost of the new technology, for each of the seven metropolitan areas serviced by Pack-and-Go, is expected to be $80,000. You have gathered the following information regarding delivery performance under both existing operations and after implementing the new technology:
Decision Alernative
After Implementing
Item Current System New Technology
On-time delivery rate 80% 95%
Variable cost per package lost or damaged $30 $30
Allocated fixed cost per package lost or damaged $10 $10
Annual number of packages lost or damaged 300 100
Based on a recent marketing study commissioned by Pack-and-Go, the company estimates that each percentage point increase in the on-time performance rate would lead to an annual revenue increase of $10,000. The average contribution margin ratio for packages delivered by Pack-and-Go is estimated as 40%.
Required:
1. From a financial perspective, should pack-and-Go invest in the new technology?
2. Based on the data collected by Pack-and-Go, the company is fairly confident about the reduction in costs associated with lost or damaged packages. However, because of uncertainties in terms of pricing in the markets in which Pack-and-Go operates, it is less sure about the predicted increase in revenues associated with the implementation of the new technology. What is the break-even increase in annual revenue that would justify the investment in the new technology?
