The equipment would be rentedfor $135,800 per year.Alternative 2: Purchase the drums from an outside supplier at $18 per drum.The new equipment would be more efficient than the equipment that Antilles Refining hasbeen using and, according to the manufacturer, would reduce direct labor and variable overheadcosts by 30%. The old equipment has no resale value. Supervision cost ($45,000 per year) anddirect materials cost per drum would not be affected by the new equipment. The new equipment'scapacity would be 100,000 drums per year.The company's total general company overhead would be unaffected by this decision.

Make or Buy Analysis [LO 7–3]“In my opinion, we ought to stop making our own drums and accept that outside supplier’s offer,” said Wim Niewindt, managing director of Antilles Refining, N.V., of Aruba. “At a price of $18 per drum, we would be paying $5 less than it costs us to manufacture the drums in our own plant. Since we use 60,000 drums a year, that would be an annual cost savings of $300,000.” Antilles Refining’s current cost to manufacture one drum is given below (based on 60,000 drums per year): Direct materials............................................$10.35 Direct labor ...............................................6.00 Variable overhead .........................................1.50 Fixed overhead ($2.80 general company overhead, $1.60 depreciation and, $0.75 supervision) ....... 5.15 Total cost per drum ........................................$23.00 A decision about whether to make or buy the drums is especially important at this time because the equipment being used to…
Exercise 14-3 (Algo) Internal Rate of Return [LO14-3] Wendell’s Donut Shoppe is investigating the purchase of a new $34,600 donut-making machine. The new machine would permit the company to reduce the amount of part-time help needed, at a cost savings of $6,500 per year. In addition, the new machine would allow the company to produce one new style of donut, resulting in the sale of 2,500 dozen more donuts each year. The company realizes a contribution margin of $1.60 per dozen donuts sold. The new machine would have a six-year useful life. Click here to view Exhibit 14B-1 and Exhibit 14B-2, to determine the appropriate discount factor(s) using tables. Required: 1. What would be the total annual cash inflows associated with the new machine for capital budgeting purposes? 2. What discount factor should be used to compute the new machine’s internal rate of return? (Round your answers to 3 decimal places.) 3. What is the new machine’s internal rate of return?

Problem 13-27 (Algo) Sell or Process Further Decisions [LO13-7] Come-Clean Corporation produces a variety of cleaning compounds and solutions for both industrial and household use. While most of its products are processed independently, a few are related, such as the company’s Grit 337 and its Sparkle silver polish. Grit 337 is a coarse cleaning powder with many industrial uses. It costs $1.20 a pound to make, and it has a selling price of $6.80 a pound. A small portion of the annual production of Grit 337 is retained in the factory for further processing. It is combined with several other ingredients to form a paste that is marketed as Sparkle silver polish. The silver polish sells for $5.00 per jar. This further processing requires one-fourth pound of Grit 337 per jar of silver polish. The additional direct variable costs involved in the processing of a jar of silver polish are: Other ingredients $ 0.55 Direct labor 1.44 Total direct cost $ 1.99 Overhead costs…

Exercise 13-3 (Algo) Make or Buy Decision [LO13-3] Troy Engines, Limited, manufactures a variety of engines for use in heavy equipment. The company has always produced all of the necessary parts for its engines, including all of the carburetors. An outside supplier has offered to sell one type of carburetor to Troy Engines, Limited, for a cost of $40 per unit.

6. Problem 16-11 (Algo) One of your Taiwanese suppliers has bid on a new line of molded plastic parts that is currently being assembled at your plant. The supplier has bid $0.10 per part, given a forecast you provided of 100,000 parts in year 1; 200,000 in year 2; and 300,000 in year 3. Shipping and handling of parts from the supplier’s factory is estimated at $0.01 per unit. Additional inventory handling charges should amount to $0.005 per unit. Finally, administrative costs are estimated at $20 per month. Although your plant is able to continue producing the part, the plant would need to invest in another molding machine, which would cost $10,000. Direct materials can be purchased for $0.04 per unit. Direct labor is estimated at $0.02 per unit for wages plus a 50 percent surcharge for benefits and, indirect labor is estimated at $0.010 per unit plus 50 percent benefits. Up-front engineering and design costs will amount to $30,000. Finally, management has insisted that…
Problem 5.55 Manchester Technology, Inc., manufactures several different types of printed circuit boards; however, two of the boards account for the majority of the company’s sales. The first of these boards, a televi-sion circuit board, has been a standard in the industry for several years. The market for this type of board is competitive and price-sensitive. Manchester plans to sell 65,000 of the TV boards in 20x1 at a price of $150 per unit. The second high-volume product, a personal computer circuit board, is a recent addition to Manchester’s product line. Because the PC board incorporates the latest technol-ogy, it can be sold at a premium price. The 20x1 plans include the sale of 40,000 PC boards at $300 per unit.Manchester’s management group is meeting to discuss how to spend the sales and promotion dol-lars for 20x1. The sales manager believes that the market share for the TV board could be expanded by concentrating Manchester’s promotional efforts in this area. In…
QS 23-6 Make or buy LO P1 Kando Company incurs a $9 per unit cost for Product A, which it currently manufactures and sells for $13.50 per unit. Instead of manufacturing and selling this product, the company can purchase it for $5 per unit and sell it for $12 per unit. If it does so, unit sales would remain unchanged and $5 of the $9 per unit costs of Product A would be eliminated. 1. Prepare Incremental cost analysis. Should the company continue to manufacture Product A or purchase it for resale? (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)
Q – 10: Sohar Company manufactures 10,000 units of a spare part ALFA each year for use on its production line. At this level of activity, the cost per unit for part ALFA is as follows: Direct materials $ 2.40 Direct labor 3.50 Variable manufacturing overhead 1.60 Fixed manufacturing overhead 5.00 Total cost per part $12.50 An outside supplier has offered to sell 15,000 units of spare part ALFA each year to Sohar Company for $11.75 per part. If Sohar Company accepts this offer, the facilities now being used to manufacture ALFA could be rented to another company at an annual rental of $75,000. However, Sohar Company has determined that $3 of the fixed manufacturing overhead being applied to part ALFA would continue even if part ALFA were purchased from the outside supplier. Required: a) Prepare computations showing how much profits will increase or decrease if the outside supplier’s offer is accepted. b) Also mention which cost is opportunity cost…
Exercise 13-13 (Algo) Sell or Process Further Decision [LO13-7] Wexpro, Incorporated, produces several products from processing 1 ton of clypton, a rare mineral. Material and processing costs total $69,000 per ton, one-fourth of which is allocated to product X15. Seven thousand five hundred units of product X15 are produced from each ton of clypton. The units can either be sold at the split-off point for $12 each, or processed further at a total cost of $9,200 and then sold for $18 each. Required: 1. What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of further processing product X15? 2. Should product X15 be processed further or sold at the split-off point?
ex4. Differential Analysis for Further Processing The management of International Aluminum Co. is considering whether to process aluminum ingot further into rolled aluminum. Rolled aluminum can be sold for $2,200 per ton, and ingot can be sold without further processing for $1,100 per ton. Ingot is produced in batches of 80 tons by smelting 500 tons of bauxite, which costs $105 per ton of bauxite. Rolled aluminum will require additional processing costs of $620 per ton of ingot, and 1.25 tons of ingot will produce 1 ton of rolled aluminum (due to trim losses). Required: 1. Prepare a differential analysis as of February 5 to determine whether to sell aluminum ingot (Alternative 1) or process further into rolled aluminum (Alternative 2).
