I need to find the cost per unit (profit per car) – I need some serious help!

I did all the work, I just don’t know how to answer the cost-per-unit question concerning profit per car.

4. Assume the same 10 year life expectancy, using the previous case, justify the purchase using the Cost-per-Unit method. (Show your work) Use profit per car.

Bud Ray is the owner of an automatic car wash located in a busy side of town. He currently has all the business he can handle and then some. His business has grown steadily over the years. His current car wash equipment is in need of a complete overhaul. Jim Dandy is a sales rep. for Magic Wash and sells equipment for rebuilding car wash systems or new start up car wash systems. Jim however would rather sell the new system as he knows there will be less problems in the future since there would be no make-shift conversions to adapt to his current system. The cost difference is substantial. In order to rebuild Bud’s current system, it will cost 4,000.00. To purchase a new Magic Wash Sparkle II system, the cost is 0,000.00. The rebuilt system would have the capacity to wash 40 cars per day at .95 per car. In addition, it will cost $.48 per car in detergent and rinsing agents. The new Magic Wash Sparkle II would have a capacity of 60 cars per day, and the detergent and rinsing agents would only cost $.23 per car because of the special “soap saver” feature. This feature is only available on the new system. Both systems have an expected 10 year life span. The car wash operates 200 days per year.

1.For the expected life expectancy of the Magic Wash Sparkle II, how would you justify the purchase using the “Price Vs Cost” method? (Show your work) Use profit for each.

The Magic Wash Sparkle II costs 0,000. It can handle 60 cars per day @ .95. Thanks to the special “soap saver,” the cost of detergent and rinsing agents is only $.23 per car.

.95 – $.23 (cost of soap to car wash)

From this we can assume the real profit per car is .72.
.95 – $.23 (cost of soap to car wash)

Since the car wash can handle 60 washes per day, assuming there are a total of 60 washes, the profit per day will be the total number of car washes times the profit per car.

.72 x 60 = 3.2

If the car wash operates at 200 days per year, we need to find the total profit. If one day yields 3.20 we just multiply by 200 to find the total profit.
3.20 x 200 days = ,640/year(200 days).

Then, backed by the 10 year life expectancy warranty. We take the profit per year of the Magic Wash II by 10 years.

,640 x 10 = 6,400

The profit is 6,400. The initial cost was 0,000.

Subtract both to find price vs cost.

6,400 – 0,000 = 6,400

**************************************…

The rebuilt system costs 4,000. It can handle 40 cars per day @ .95. Yet, the cost is $.48 per car from the soaps and detergents.

From this we can assume the real profit per car is .47.
.95 – $.23 (cost of soap to car wash)

Since the car wash can handle 40 washes per day, assuming there are a total of 40 washes, the profit per day will be the total number of car washes times the profit per car.

.47 x 40 = 8.80

If the car wash operates at 200 days per year, we need to find the total profit. If one day yields 8.80 we just multiply by 200 to find the total profit.
8.80 x 200 days = ,760/year(200 days).

Then, backed by the 10 year life expectancy warranty. We take the profit per year of the Magic Wash II by 10 years.

,760 x 10 = 7,600.

The profit is 7,600. The initial cost was 4,000.
Subtract to find price vs cost.
7,600 – 4,000 = 3,600

So I meet this girl at the club a few weeks ago. She invites me out one night with her and her girl. So I go out there and her friend is talking to the bar-back because I guess they are F-Buddies and we all decide to go to another bar. While there I’m talking to her friend at the bar and this dude pulls her aside and starts telling my girl that he made a mistake sleeping with her friend and he wants to be with her and he kisses her (I had no clue this was going on). Then she comes back to me and tells me that he told her he made a mistake with the friend, but fails to mention anything else. Anyway her friend and him slept together that night and the next day he tries to pick up my girl again. So that’s the beginning of the drama with her. This is the first night we have hung out since we met.

Well also during that night she tells me that she answered an ad for a housekeeping job and when she got there the 60 year old man (shes 22) who placed the ad told her he wasn’t looking for a housekeeper but a wife. He is loaded and would give her 0,000, pay for her college, buy her cars, blah blah blah. She asked me if I would still be her boyfriend if she married him. I told her that I didn’t know, maybe if it was strictly a business relationship between the two of them.

Well the next day she fills in the huge details that she left out the night before. She tells me that the dude kissed her and she tells me that not only does the old guy want to get married but he wants her to have his kid too. What the hel?

So now shes pressing me on if I want to stay with her. I really don’t know if I should get involved if shes going to be in another relationship. It may be okay now, but what happens when we start seeing each other and I start to love her? I think I will just be setting myself up to get hurt if I do. I told her I need to even see if we are right for each other first so I would make up my mind after we dated a few weeks.

2 days later: She asks me last minute to go to a Halloween party with her since her friend cant go. I tell her I have plans, but she pleads for me to go. So I give in, I go to her place and shes like "Wheres your costume?" even though she didn’t tell me I needed one. Now its this huge deal that everyone HAS to have a costume. All the stores are closed so I agree to go in drag. So we go driving around to all her friends houses to find me clothes. So then I go and meet all her friends at this party dressed up like a chick. It’s embarrassing as hell but I did it as a favor to her. So during the night it came up that I was getting off probation for something minor shortly. Also she asked me something about sex and my ex’s and I told her that I ususally date girls who have a kinky side to them and she cops this attitude and is distant to me the whole night, then she just gets up and leaves me (even though I asked her at the beginning to do me one favor of not leaving me alone at the party). So we get back to her place and shes all distant to me still and says she doesn’t want to have sex with me because I’m a different person than she thought I was. I asked her how and shes like "You seemed like a nice guy when I met you then I find out you date kinky girls and your on probation, why don’t you just go date Rachel (her friend from the beginning of the story)"

What is up with this girl? Why cant I find a decent girl? Or maybe its just me. Did I do something wrong?

Are there any cute sane women in the Tampa area? If so, hit me up

We have been dating for two years. I would like to make the commitment to move in together. I have four kids, he has never married in his life and has no kids. He’s 44, I’m 40. He says how much he loves me, whenever I bring up putting our lives together, he fusses and whines that he never wants to sell his house and that his only goal in life before he met me was to fix up his amazing garage so he could work on cars there and possibly turn it into a business. My house is too small for him and his house is too small for my whole family. And he is really anal about his house, so we don’t go over there too often. His girlfriend before me he was living with (but not in this house) however, sadly, she died. He told me he wants to go on just like we are, dating, with him sleeping over all the time, but always maintaining our separate residences, separate lives. I want the commitment, planning our future together, not just the living arrangements, but everything. Is 2 yrs too soon?

Tells me the kids dont like him b/c of me, we are broke b/c of me, our marriage sux b/c of me, I feel that sometimes I am at the point to where there is nothing he can do to make it btr, but I dont want to give up on us either. He use to be so attentive to me and kids and now there is nothing. We went thru some bad times last sumr, he wldnt come home until 4-5 in the a.m. or not at all, and of course nothing wld be going on with him, now he tells me to get over it and I am having a hard time with that. I am scared to be myself around him for some reason. I have always been loyal to him, sure I have done dumb things I am not perfect, but living everyday knowing that someone blames you for everything and I mean everything breaks u down and its hard to deal with. I dont want a divorce but what can I do? I am just scared & hurt. Advice??

My mother and I need this for a child support modification review. DCSS has told my mother that they do not do this, that she has to. Is there a way around this? My father says he is making less, but we all know he is making more. Though he has filed for unemployment between movies, he is still taking vacations and renting hotels and cars on this amount of money. He owns multiple properties. Is there a way to get proof of his income, properties owned, or any other information to help with my mother’s case?

Because That is what they are planning on doing with all this new taxes and carbon foot prints to make you use less and less stuff and therefore you will soon be living in the time before Global Warming was created-gone will be long life and medical stuff ,computers,cell phone and all that stuff. Because that stuff adds to your carbon foot print. You would have to do with out air condition and other things that make life easier. That is what this Global Warming is about. Untill you can give up cars and other transportion and walk or ride a bike where you go and servive with out any mordern means that we were brought up to have (the older folks can handle this )
untill u are ready to give up everything to be green as Al Gore says which is not a true green lifestyle. If you want to know about a true life change that would work go talk to the indians-They honor mother earth and lived peaceful with her.

I heard that you can could buy wrecked or un operational vehicles and take them apart to sell the parts and make nearly as twice as much as you spent to get the vehicle…. but i also used to know a guy that buys cars and auctions then fixes them a bit or just sells them as is for more… which would make the most money? and is there somewhere online i could find out more information on doing these types of things?

when i was 16 (3 weeks from being 17) i started dating this guy from my work who was 21. he seamed really nice until the day we started going out. on our first official day of dating he called me while i was working and was really mad at his mom and told me he was outside waiting for me. he didnt have a car and lived about 20-30 min walking time from my work. after i got done with work i got out to him and he started joking about killing himself and jumping in front of cars and asking me to get into an accident and started telling me about all these times hez "messed up" ppl and that he could "mess me up easily if i gave him i reason to" he made me pay for everything and if i didnt pay he got pissed at me and called me a spoiled, rich, b!tch (which im defiantly not spoiled or rich) he controlled everything i did. i wasnt allowed to play my music in my car, i wasnt allowed to hang out with my friends without him there, i couldnt go hardly a day without being with him. he called me a b!tch, $lut, ect for "teasing" him to much and not giving him any. hed tell me how good he was at sex and all the girls he slept with and where and how i would scream so bad because he is so good and bla bla bla. and accused me of cheating when i wasnt. he made me go down on him once (i didnt want to) and then yelled at me for not being good enough. i broke it off after 3 months and it was oddly easy.

its been about 2 years now since the last time i even herd from him but i still think of him almost every day. i have to drive past his house to get to school so i always think of him when i pass it. i found out a place he hangs out so now i avoid going there. i have trouble getting close to guys and tend to avoid them. and not as often but still sometimes i have nightmares about him coming after me and i get depressed for days over it. every time i hear his favorite song that he used to make me listen to everyday i get flashbacks that are so bad the lead to into a panic attack and i cry for days.

what do i do to get over it? like i was never abused as bad as some girls get it and i wasnt even in the relationship for long. does it sound ridicules for me to get sooo upset over it? i just want to forget him and move on with my life. he took so much from me. i lost alllll of my friends because of him. i went through most of my senior year without any friends and lived that entire year in fear.

My wife left me on Friday, moving back home with her folks. (The same people who she claimed beat her and made her life a living hell!) However, when i asked her in front of her mother she denied it! WTF!?!?!?!? Was she lying? I really dont think so but, I just dont know why she would leave to go to THEM! Her father hates me anyways! She has said that he resents me for having the things that him and his wife didn’t have when they were Jenn’s and my age(26/28) I never felt like I was a member of her family in all of the 8.5 years that we were together and NOW I feel like SHE has sabotaged all of that! Her father is def. loving the fact that she left AND that she/he took both of OUR cars! I legally have rights to one of them but I am not going to shitty like them. It just goes to show how LOW/NO CLASS they are! I always knew that though! I am just so blown! I guess what I am asking for advice on is how long should I wait to go out and start having fun as far as hooking up with the ladies again? It has been almost 7 months since I have had sex(if you were interested) and I was stupidly faithful. I am in THE BEST shape of my life and I am only 28. Green eyes, brown hair, olive complex, 6′1, 180 Italian/Peruvian I think that I am a catch for any honey. They only problem is that I am married! I am catholic and it DOES mean something to me.

She left me after counseling didn’t work! The therapist dumped us because she wouldn’t get her own therapy; i have been seeking my own! (her excuse, she didn’t have per visit to save our marriage) it wasn’t/I am not important enough(my words,not hers) so after that i said there is no point in sharing a bed. she moved to the spare room and then moved out because she claims I told her to. That is her rational behind leaving and taking both cars. She thinks that we are just separated and that we are going to "work" things out! Well its been 5 days and she has made NO attempt to contact me in regards to counseling, talking, anything other than ebay took fees out of her bank account and that I intentionally STOLE the money! Not the case! I am so lonely and she knows how bad its been for me. Were I was emotionally I am not going to kill myself BUT i WAS in DARK DARK place and SHE DI DNT CARE!
that just tells me she never loved me at all! marriage is about honor and commitment and unity!

I want to be happy and I dont want to be alone! I am SO ALONE! I JUST WANT TO BE HELD! i know that it sounds gay(im not) but I havent had any affection for months! my favorite thing before sex use to be kissing and the last kiss that I got other than a dead fish grandma kiss was i would say at least before new years. I know that I did kiss her maybe a month or so ago in the car or somewhere but she didnt like it and she didnt respond well. we were arguing and i figured that we had to connect SOMEWAY! I am not going to pay for sex but I AM TIRED OF J@$#ing off . There is NO REASON( I feel that either she is lesbian now or she HAS to be cheating) i dont know its too late now i guess….

How long should I wait! I want love or atleast a warm touch of a woman’s hand. I miss the scent of her hair, the touch of her skin. I just miss WOMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WTF??????

HOW LONG? I am serious!!!! I am not going to base my life decision on strangers advice, I am just looking for feedback. To base my decision off of. THANKS
