Today (year 0), a new 7-megawatt (MW) solar panel farm is constructed at a direct cost of $10 million. The indirect cost of 10% of the direct cost was spent. Four years from today, a smaller 6-MW solar farm will be added to the existing farm. The cost indices of today and after 4 years are 400 and 600 respectively. If the cost-capacity factor is 0.75 for solar panel construction, what is the estimated total capital investment (direct indirect) for the smaller 6-MW farm

Afirm plans to begin production of a new small appliance. the manager must decide whether to purchase the motors for the appliance from a vendor at $10 each or to produce them in-house. either of two processes could be used for in-house production; process a would have an annual fixed cost of $200,000 and a variable cost of $7 per unit, and process b would have an annual fixed cost of $175,000 and a variable cost of $8 per unit. determine the range of annual volume for which each of the alternatives would be best. (round your first answer to the nearest whole number. include the indifference value itself in this answer.)
