- Exercise 11-10 Make or Buy Decision [LO11-3] Futura Company purchases the 65,000 starters that it installs in its standard line of farm tractors from a supplier for the price of $9.60 per unit. Due to a reduction in output, the company now has idle capacity that could be used to produce the starters rather than buying them from an outside supplier. However, the company's chief engineer is opposed to making the starters because the production cost per unit is $9.90 as shown below: Direct materials Direct labor Supervision Depreciation Variable manufacturing overhead Rent Total production cost Per Unit Total $ 4.00 2.20 1.70 $ 110,500 1.00 $ 65,000 0.40 0.60 $ 39,000 $ 9.90 If Futura decides to make the starters, a supervisor would have to be hired (at a salary of $110,500) to oversee production.

System A costs $305,000, has a four-year life, and requires $105,000 in pretax annual operating costs. System B costs $385,000, has a six-year life, and requires $99,000 in pretax annual operating costs. Both systems are to be depreciated straight-line to zero over their lives and will have zero salvage value. Whichever project is chosen, it will not be replaced when it wears out. The tax rate is 23 percent and the discount rate is 11 percent. Calculate the NPV for both conveyor belt systems. (A negative answer should be İndicated by a minus sign.

- PROBLEM 13-23 Make or Buy Decision LO13-3 Silven Industries, which manufactures and sells a highly successful line of summer lotions and insect repellents, has decided to diversify in order to stabilize sales throughout the year. A natural area for the company to consider is the production of winter lotions and creams to prevent dry and chapped skin. After considerable research, a winter products line has been developed. However, Silven's president has decided to introduce only one of the new products for this coming winter. If the product is a success, further expansion in future years will be initiated. The product selected (called Chap-Off) is a lip balm that will be sold in a lipstick-type tube. The product will be sold to wholesalers in boxes of 24 tubes for $8 per box. Because of excess capacity, no additional fixed manufacturing overhead costs will be incurred to produce the product.

It operates a fleet of small vans that moves packages to and from a central depot within each city and uses a common carrier to deliver the packages between the depots in the two cities. Vernon Delivery recently acquired approximately $6.2 million of cash capital from its owners, and its president, George Hay, is trying to identify the most profitable way to invest these funds. Todd Payne, the company's operations manager, believes that the money should be used to expand the fleet of city vans at a cost of $640,000. He argues that more vans would enable the company to expand its services into new markets, thereby increasing the revenue base. More specifically, he expects cash inflows to increase by $330,000 per year. The additional vans are expected to have an average useful life…arrow_forward
