NPV should be viewed as a ceiling when a company makes an investment decision

_____________ is the elastic recovery of the sheet metal after bending.

(b) Determine the annual quantity of product molded. (Round to the nearest whole number) 

(a) Determine the hourly production rate of the machine. (Round to the nearest two decimal places) 

Use this problem description to answer the following three questions.  A plastic molding machine produces a product whose annual demand is in the millions. The machine is automated and used full time just for the production of this product. The molding cycle time = 45 sec. No tooling is required other than the mold, which cost $100,000 and is expected to produce 1,000,000 moldings (products). The plastic molding compound costs $1.20/lb. Each molding weighs 0.88 lb. The only labor required is for a worker to periodically retrieve the moldings. Labor rate of the worker = $18.00/hr including overhead. However, the worker also tends other machines and only spends 20% of his time on this machine. Setup can be ignored because of the long production run. The molding machine was purchased for $500,000 installed, its anticipated life = 10 years, and it operates 6,000 hours per year. Equipment overhead rate = 30%. Availability = 100% and scrap rate = 0.
