The operating cost of the machine is Rs. 1,000 for the first year and it increases by Rs. 500 every subsequent year. The company has to run for a very long time (infinite) and there is no inflation in the cost. If the owner of the company is given a choice of replacing the machine after every 4, 5, 6, 8 or 10 years, what frequency of replacement (in years) should he choose in order to minimize the overall cost? Assume that the cost price of the machine is Rs. 15,000.

In addition, it is thought that the presence of other alcohols (fusel oils) and other by-products of alcoholic fermentation (also called congeners), exaggerate many of the symptoms; this probably accounts for the mitigation of the effects when distilled alcohol, particularly vodka, is consumed instead. A 2009 study provided evidence that darker-coloured liquors, such as bourbon, cause worse hangovers than lighter-coloured liquors, such as vodka. The higher amount of congeners found in darker liquors compared to lighter ones was indicated as the cause. Studies that attempt to compare hangover producing potential and hangover severity of different alcoholic drinks suggest the following ordering (starting with the least hangover-inducing): distilled ethanol diluted in fruit juice; beer; vodka; gin; white wine; whisky; rum; red wine; brandy. Which of the following can be concluded from the passage? OPTIONS     1) Whisky will give you a worse hangover than red wine, but it will be better than vodka.   2) White wine will give you more of a hangover than red wine but beer will give you less.   3) Congeners are contributing factors to hangovers, and the more you drink, the less of a chance you have of consuming them.   4) Beer is the least likely to give you a hangover and brandy is the most likely to give you one.   5) Rum will give you more of a hangover than white wine, but less than red wine. discuss TestFunda.com - LEARN with THE LEADER in Online MBA Test Prep Demo Lessons   |   Take a Demo Test   |   Buy Courses   |   Fun Learning Games   |   100-Percentilers About TestFunda.com - TestFunda is backed by www.ZeusLearning.com. 3 IIT-IIM graduates form the Management Team. - The 85+ member team has vast experience in MBA Coaching and Computer-Based Training and Testing. - For 12 years Zeus has created award-winning courseware for companies like Discovery Channel, Reader's Digest, Texas Instruments, Pearson Education. - The TestFunda Advisory Board comprises CEOs and MDs of international educational companies.
