19. Part U16 is used by Mcvean Corporation to make one of its products. A total of 13,000 units of this part are

produced and used every year. The company's Accounting Department reports the following costs of producing

the part at this level of activity:

An outside supplier has offered to make the part and sell it to the company for $29.80 each. If this offer is

accepted, the supervisor's salary and all of the variable costs, including the direct labor, can be avoided. The

special equipment used to make the part was purchased many years ago and has no salvage value or other use.

The allocated general overhead represents fixed costs of the entire company, none of which would be avoided if

the part were purchased instead of produced internally. In addition, the space used to make part U16 could be

used to make more of one of the company's other products, generating an additional segment margin of $25,000

per year for that product. What would be the impact on the company's overall net operating income of buyingpart U16 from the outside supplier?

a. Net operating income would increase by $25,000 per year.

B. Net operating income would decline by $79,000 per year.

c. Net operating income would decline by $35,400 per year.

d. Net operating income would increase by $14,600 per year.

The total cost of the make alternative is lower by $79,000 ($283,400 - $362,400). Thus, net operating income

would decline by $79,000 if the offer from the supplier were accepted. Therefore, the company should continue

to make the part itself.

Ignace normally sells its watches for $42 each. A discount chain is interested in purchasing Ignace's excess

capacity of 5,000 watches. This special order would not affect regular sales or the cost structure above. Ignace's

profits for the year will increase as long as the price on this special order exceeds:

a. $12.00

b. $13.50

C. $16.00

d. $31.00

21. Gallerani Corporation has received a request for a special order of 6,000 units of product A90 for $21.20

each. Product A90's unit product cost is $16.20, determined as follows:

Direct labor is a variable cost. The special order would have no effect on the company's total fixed

manufacturing overhead costs. The customer would like modifications made to product A90 that would increase

the variable costs by $4.20 per unit and that would require an investment of $21,000 in special molds that would

have no salvage value.

This special order would have no effect on the company's other sales. The company has ample spare capacity

for producing the special order. If the special order is accepted, the company's overall net operating income

would increase (decrease) by:

a. ($18,600)

b. ($16,200)

c. $30,000D. $5,400

Penagos Corporation is presently making part Z43 that is used in one of its products. A total of 5,000 units of

this part are produced and used every year. The company's Accounting Department reports the following costs

of producing the part at this level of activity:

An outside supplier has offered to produce and sell the part to the company for $20.80 each. If this offer is

accepted, the supervisor's salary and all of the variable costs, including direct labor, can be avoided. The special

equipment used to make the part was purchased many years ago and has no salvage value or other use. The

allocated general overhead represents fixed costs of the entire company. If the outside supplier's offer were

accepted, only $4,000 of these allocated general overhead costs would be avoided.

24. If management decides to buy part Z43 from the outside supplier rather than to continue making the part,

what would be the annual impact on the company's overall net operating income?

a. Net operating income would decline by $34,500 per year.

b. Net operating income would decline by $30,500 per year.

C. Net operating income would decline by $15,500 per year.

d. Net operating income would decline by $38,500 per year.

The total cost of the make alternative is lower by $15,500. Thus, net operating income would decline by$15,500 if the offer from the supplier were accepted.

Elfving Company produces a single product. The cost of producing and selling a single unit of this product at

the company's normal activity level of 80,000 units per month is as follows:

The normal selling price of the product is $71.10 per unit.

An order has been received from an overseas customer for 1,000 units to be delivered this month at a special

discounted price. This order would have no effect on the company's normal sales and would not change the total

amount of the company's fixed costs. The variable selling and administrative expense would be $1.50 less per

unit on this order than on normal sales.

Direct labor is a variable cost in this company.

project will initially require a $25,000 investment in equipment and a $3,000 working capital investment. The

useful life of this project is 5 years with an expected salvage value of zero on the equipment. The working

capital will be released at the end of the 5 years. The new system is expected to generate net cash inflows of

$9,000 per year in each of the 5 years. Nevus' discount rate is 14%. The net present value of this project is

closest to:

a. $(3,088)

b. $3,383

C. $4,454

d. $5,897

31. (Ignore income taxes in this problem.) Dowlen, Inc., is considering the purchase of a machine that would

cost $150,000 and would last for 6 years. At the end of 6 years, the machine would have a salvage value of

$23,000. The machine would reduce labor and other costs by $36,000 per year. Additional working capital of

$6,000 would be needed immediately. All of this working capital would be recovered at the end of the life of

the machine. The company requires a minimum pretax return of 12% on all investment projects. The net present

value of the proposed project is closest to:

a. $9,657

b. -$2,004C. $6,699

33. (Ignore income taxes in this problem.) Olinick Corporation is considering a project that would require an

investment of $343,000 and would last for 8 years. The incremental annual revenues and expenses generated by

the project during those 8 years would be as follows:

The scrap value of the project's assets at the end of the project would be $23,000. The payback period of the

project is closest to:

a. 3.0 years

b. 5.1 years

C. 3.2 yearsd. 4.8 years

Net annual cash flow = Net operating income + Depreciation

= $67,000 + $40,000 = $107,000

Payback period = Investment required Net annual cash flow

= $343,000 $107,000 = 3.2 years

In this case the salvage value plays no part in the payback period since all of the investment is recovered before

the end of the project.
