Assume that a company has developed a new industrial component called Part A that offers superior performance relative to its competitors. The competing part sells for $1,500 and needs to be replaced after 1,500 hours of use. It also requires $400 of preventive maintenance during its useful life. Part A is similar to its competing product with two important exceptions-it needs to be replaced after 3,000 hours of use and it requires only $200 of preventive maintenance during its useful life. From a value-based pricing standpoint, what is the differentiation value offered by Part A relative to the competitor's offering for each 3.000 hours of usage?

- Verde Company reported operating costs of 50,000,000 as of December 31, 20x5, with the following environmental costs: Required: 1. Prepare an environmental cost report, classifying costs by quality category and expressing each as a percentage of total operating costs. What is the message of this report? 2. Prepare a pie chart that shows the relative distribution of environmental costs by category. What does this report tell you? 3. What if Verde deliberately did not include the cost of damaging the ecosystem because of solid waste disposal in its environmental cost report? Offer possible reasons for this decision. If consciously avoided, is this decision unethical?ZZOOM, Inc., has decided to discontinue manufacturing its Z Best model. Currently, the company has 4,600 partially completed Z Best models on hand. The government has put a recall on a particular part in the Z Best model, so each base model must now be reworked to accommodate the style of the new part. The company has spent $110 per unit to manufacture these Z Best models to their current state. Reworking each Z Best model will cost $22 for materials and $25 for direct labor. In addition, $9 of variable overhead and $34 of allocated fixed overhead (relating primarily to depreciation of plant and equipment) will be allocated per unit. If ZZOOM completes the Z Best models, it can sell them for $180 per unit. On the other hand, another manufacturer is interested in purchasing the partially completed units for $105 each and converting them into Z Plus models. Prepare a differential analysis per unit to determine if ZZOOM should complete the Z Best models or sell them in their current state.Mantenga Company provides routine maintenance services for heavy moving and transportation vehicles. Although the vehicles vary, the maintenance services provided follow a fairly standard pattern. Recently, a potential customer has approached the company, requesting a new maintenance service for a radically different type of vehicle. New servicing equipment and some new labor skills will be needed to provide the maintenance service. The customer is placing an initial order to service 150 vehicles and has indicated that if the service is satisfactory, several additional orders of the same size will be placed every 3 months over the next 3 to 5 years. Mantenga uses a standard costing system and wants to develop a set of standards for the new vehicle. The usage standards for direct materials such as oil, lubricants, and transmission fluids were easily established. The usage standard is 25 quarts per servicing, with a standard cost of 4 per quart. Management has also decided on standard rates for labor and overhead. The standard labor rate is 15 per direct labor hour, the standard variable overhead rate is 8 per direct labor hour, and the standard fixed overhead rate is 12 per direct labor hour. The only remaining decision is the standard for labor usage. To assist in developing this standard, the engineering department has estimated the following relationship between units serviced and average direct labor hours used: As the workers learn more about servicing the new vehicles, they become more efficient, and the average time needed to service one unit declines. Engineering estimates that all of the learning effects will be achieved by the time that 320 units are produced. No further improvement will be realized past this level. Required: 1. Assume that the average labor time is 0.768 hour per unit after the learning effects are achieved. Using this information, prepare a standard cost sheet that details the standard service cost per unit. (Note: Round costs to two decimal places.) 2. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Given the per-unit labor standard set, would you expect a favorable or an unfavorable labor efficiency? Explain. Calculate the labor efficiency variance for servicing the first 320 units. 3. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Assuming no further improvement in labor time per unit is possible past 320 units, explain why the cumulative average time per unit at 640 units is lower than the time at 320 units. Show that the standard labor time should be 0.768 hour per unit. Explain why this value is a good choice for the per-unit labor standard.
- A mechanical engineer is considering two robots for improving materials handling in the production of rigid shaft couplings that mate dissimilar drive components. Robot X has a first cost of $84,000, an annual maintenance and operation (M&O) cost of $31,000, a $40,000 salvage value, and will improve net revenues by $96,000 per year. Robot Y has a first cost of $146,000, an annual M&O cost of $28,000, a $47,000 salvage value, and will increase net revenues by $119,000 per year. Which one should be selected on the basis of a rate of return analysis if the company’s MARR is 15% per year? Use a three-year study period.A company with excess capacity must decide between scrapping or reworking units that do not pass inspection. The company has 16,000 defective units that cost $5.70 per unit to manufacture. The units can be a) sold as is for $3.20 each, or b) reworked for $4.70 each and then sold for the full price of $8.90 each. What is the incremental income from selling the units as scrap and reworking and selling the units? Should the company sell the units as scrap or rework them? (Enter costs and losses as negative values.)Selma Corporation uses Part PB7 in one of its products. The company's Accounting Department reports the following costs to produce 7,000 units of the PB7 that are needed every year. An outside supplier has offered to make the part and sell it to the company for RM28.30 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 RM9,000 of these allocated general overhead costs would be avoided. Should Selma Corporation buy PB7 from the supplier or continue producing the part internally? Shows the effect on the company's total net operating income by comparing both alternatives.
- A process control manager is considering two robots to improve materials handling capacity in the production of rigid shaft couplings that mate dissimilar drive components. Robot X has a first cost of $84,000, an annual M&O cost of $31,000, a $40,000 salvage value, and will improve revenues by $96,000 per year. Robot Y has a first cost of $146,000, an annual M&O cost of $28,000, a $47,000 salvage value, and will increase revenues by $119,000 per year. The company’s MARR is 15% per year and it uses a 3-year study period for economic evaluations. Which one should the manager select (a) on the basis of ROR values, and (b) on the basis of the incremental ROR value? (c) Which is the correct selection basis? Perform the analysis by hand or spreadsheet, as instructed.Barbardy Company is introducing a new product. The managers are trying to decide whether to make one of its components or buy it from a supplier at a price of P320. The space that could be used to produce the component would have no other use. The following are the data to make the component. Materials P 90 Labor 100 Variable manufacturing overhead 90 Fixed manufacturing overhead 130 Total 410 The estimate reflects 20,000 volume units of the component. Fixed manufacturing overhead consists of depreciation on old machinery. Required: Determine which option is advantageous and by how much? Buy is advantageous by P800,000 Make is advantageous by P800,000 Buy is advantageous by P1,800,000 Make is advantageous by P1,800,000 Group of answer choices 1 2 3 4A mechanical engineer who designs and sells equipment that automates manual labor processes is offering a machine/robot combination that will significantly reduce labor costs associated with manufacturing garage-door opener transmitters. The equipment has a first cost of $170,000, an estimated annual operating cost of $54,000, a maximum useful life of 5 years, and a $20,000 salvage value anytime it is replaced. The existing equipment was purchased 12 years ago for $65,000 and has an annual operating cost of $78,000. At most, the currently owned equipment can be used 2 more years, at which time it will be auctioned off for an expected amount of $6000, less 33% paid to the company handling the auction. The same scenario will occur if the currently owned equipment is replaced now. Determine the defender and challenger estimates of P, n, S, and AOC in conducting a replacement analysis today at an interest rate of 20% per year.
- Searching for ways to cut costs and increase profit, one of the industrial engineers at Home Comfort Furniture Manufacturers, Inc. determined that the equivalent annual worth of an existing machine over its remaining useful life of 2 years is $70,000 per year. The IE also determined that used machines like the one currently in use are not available any longer, but the defender can be replaced with a challenger that is more advanced. It will have an AW of $80,000 if it is kept for 2 years or less, $75,000 if it is kept between 3 and 4 years, and $65,000 if it is kept for 5 to 10 years. If the company uses a specified 3-year planning horizon and an interest rate of 15% per year, determine (a) when the company should replace the machine, and (b) the AW for the next 3 years.CleanTech manufactures equipment to mitigate the environmental effects of waste. (a) If Product A has fixed expenses of $15,000 per year and each unit of product has a $0.20 variable cost, and Product B has fixed expenses of $5000 per year and a $0.50 variable cost, at what number of units of annual production will A have the same overall cost as B? (b) As a manager at CleanTech what other data would you need to evaluate these two products?Middle Industries produces a sensor for use in manufacturing. It produces the sensor in a plant with an annual practical capacity of 75,000 units. The variable cost of the sensor is $185.00 per unit, and the fixed costs of the plant are $12,375,000 annually. Current annual demand is 55,000 sensors. Middle Industries bought the plant because it was close to its other manufacturing facilities and was available for sale when they were searching for a location. Required: What cost per sensor should the cost system report to facilitate management decision making? What is the cost of excess capacity? What cost per sensor would the cost system report if the smallest manufacturing plant that could be built was able to produce 75,000 sensors? What would be the cost of excess capacity?
