Noble Chemical has spent $240,000 to refine 71,000 gallons of acetone, which can be sold for $2.30 a gallon. Alternatively, Noble Chemical can process the acetone further. This processing will yield a total of 59,000 gallons of lacquer thinner that can be sold for $3.20 a gallon. The additional processing will cost $0.85 per gallon of lacquer thinner. To sell the lacquer thinner, Noble Chemical must pay shipping of $0.24 a gallon and administrative expenses of $0.12 a gallon on the thinner. Requirements: 1. Identify the sunk cost. Is the sunk cost relevant to Noble's decision? Why or why not? 2. Should Noblesell the acetone as is or process it into lacquer thinner? Show the expected net revenue difference between the two alternatives.
Bramble Pix currently uses a six-year-old molding machine to manufacture silver picture frames. The company paid $88,000 for the machine, which was state of the art at the time of purchase. Although the machine will likely last another ten years, it will need a $12,000 overhaul in four years. More important, it does not provide enough capacity to meet customer demand. The company currently produces and sells 11,000 frames per year, generating a total contribution margin of $85,500. Martson Molders currently sells a molding machine that will allow Bramble Pix to increase production and sales to 15,000 frames per year. The machine, which has a ten-year life, sells for $131,000 and would cost $12,000 per year to operate. Bramble Pix's current machine costs only $8,000 per year to operate. If Bramble Pix purchases the new machine, the old machine could be sold at its book value of $5,000. The new machine is expected to have a salvage value of $19,500 at the end of its ten-year life.…

Stuart Studio, an art studio, prepared a new catalog for the National School of Heavy Equipment, a school run by Gilbert and Donald Shaw. When the artwork was virtually finished, Gilbert Shaw requested Stuart Studio to purchase and supervise the printing of twenty-five thousand catalogs. Shaw told the art studio that payment of the printing costs would be made within ten days after billing and that if the “National School would not pay the full total, he would stand good for the entire bill.” Shaw was chairman of the board of directors of the school, and he owned 100 percent of its voting stock and 49 percent of its nonvoting stock.
