1. A manager must decide which type of machine to buy, A, B, or C. Machine costs are as follows: Machine Cost $50,000 $40,000 $90,000 Product forecasts and processing times on the machines are as follows: PROCESSING TIME PER UNIT (minutes) Annual Product Demand 18,000 14,000 8,000 32,000 ES5 2 a. Assume that only purchasing costs are being considered. Which machine would have the lowest total cost, and how many of that machine would be needed? Machines operate 10 hours a day, 250 days a year. b. Consider this additional information: The machines differ in terms of hourly operating costs: The A machines have an hourly operating cost of $10 each, B machines have an hourly operating cost of $11 each, and C machines have an hourly operating cost of $12 each.
