Road Master Shocks has 15,000 units of a defective product on hand that cost $80,000 to manufacture. The company can either sell this product as scrap for $6 per unit or it can sell the product for $9 per unit by reworking the units and correcting the defects at a cost of $40,000.
Prepare a schedule to show the effect of selling the defective units as scrap or rework.
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 $6.00 per unit to manufacture. The units can be a) sold as is for $3.00 each, or b) reworked for $4.50 each and then sold for the full price of $9.00 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.)

- Pasha Company produced 50 defective units last month at a unit manufacturing cost of 30. The defective units were discovered before leaving the plant. Pasha can sell them as is for 20 or can rework them at a cost of 15 and sell them at the regular price of 50. Which of the following is not relevant to the sell-or-rework decision? a. 30 b. 20 c. 15 d. 50arrow_forwardJonfran Company manufactures three different models of paper shredders including the waste container, which serves as the base. While the shredder heads are different for all three models, the waste container is the same. The number of waste containers that Jonfran will need during the following years is estimated as follows: The equipment used to manufacture the waste container must be replaced because it is broken and cannot be repaired. The new equipment would have a purchase price of 945,000 with terms of 2/10, n/30; the companys policy is to take all purchase discounts. The freight on the equipment would be 11,000, and installation costs would total 22,900. The equipment would be purchased in December 20x4 and placed into service on January 1, 20x5. It would have a five-year economic life and would be treated as three-year property under MACRS. This equipment is expected to have a salvage value of 12,000 at the end of its economic life in 20x9. The new equipment would be more efficient than the old equipment, resulting in a 25 percent reduction in both direct materials and variable overhead. The savings in direct materials would result in an additional one-time decrease in working capital requirements of 2,500, resulting from a reduction in direct material inventories. This working capital reduction would be recognized at the time of equipment acquisition. The old equipment is fully depreciated and is not included in the fixed overhead. The old equipment from the plant can be sold for a salvage amount of 1,500. Rather than replace the equipment, one of Jonfrans production managers has suggested that the waste containers be purchased. One supplier has quoted a price of 27 per container. This price is 8 less than Jonfrans current manufacturing cost, which is as follows: Jonfran uses a plantwide fixed overhead rate in its operations. If the waste containers are purchased outside, the salary and benefits of one supervisor, included in fixed overhead at 45,000, would be eliminated. There would be no other changes in the other cash and noncash items included in fixed overhead except depreciation on the new equipment. Jonfran is subject to a 40 percent tax rate. Management assumes that all cash flows occur at the end of the year and uses a 12 percent after-tax discount rate. Required: 1. Prepare a schedule of cash flows for the make alternative. Calculate the NPV of the make alternative. 2. Prepare a schedule of cash flows for the buy alternative. Calculate the NPV of the buy alternative. 3. Which should Jonfran domake or buy the containers? What qualitative factors should be considered? (CMA adapted)arrow_forwardZena Technology sells arc computer printers for $55 per unit. Unit product costs are: A special order to purchase 15,000 arc printers has recently been received from another company and Zena has idle capacity to fill the order. Zena will incur an additional $2 per printer for additional labor costs due to a slight modification the buyer wants made to the original product. One-third of the manufacturing overhead costs is fixed and will be incurred no matter how many units are produced. When negotiating the price, what is the minimum selling price that Zena should accept for this special order?arrow_forward
- Part P40 is a part used in the production of dehumidifiers at Pollock Corporation. The following costs and data relate to the production of Part P40: Number of parts produced annually Fixed costs Variable costs Total cost to produce 25,000 $44,000 $68,000 $112,000 Pollock Corporation can purchase the part from an outside supplier for $4.55 per unit. If they purchase from the outside supplier, 50% of the fixed costs would be avoided. If the company buys the part, what is the most it can spend per unit so that operating income is equal to $97,000? (Round the final answer to the nearest cent.) A. $3.00 B. $3.88 OC. $2.12 D. $1.55arrow_forwardA manufacturing firm is making auto parts. The machine operators do the packaging and fill the shipping boxes. Each box should contain 60 parts, but the operators fill the boxes by eye, so the average parts per box is 63. Each auto part costs $1. The company realizes that they are wasting parts by overfilling the boxes and decides to automate the packaging which reduces the average parts per box to 60. The equipment would cost $65,000 and SL depreciation with 7-year depreciable life and $10,000 salvage value would be used. Cost of maintaining the equipment is $8,000 annually. The firm manufactures 800K auto parts each year. The combined federal and state incremental tax rate is 30%. Assume a 7-year analysis period and MARR of 10%. 1. What is the after-tax present worth? 2. What is the after-tax payback period? (No-return payback period)arrow_forwardA company must decide between scrapping or reworking units that do not pass inspection.

If the units are sold as is, the company will be able to build 22,000 replacement units at a cost of $6 each and sell them at the full price of $8.50 each. (1) What is the incremental income from selling the units as scrap? (2) What is the incremental income from reworking and selling the units? (3) Should the company sell the units as scrap or rework them?arrow_forward

Buy the part because it will save $300,000 over making it. Buy the part because it will save 1,100,000 over making it. Make the part because it will save $100,000 over buying it. Buy the part because it will save $100,000 over making it. Make the part because it will save $1,100,000 over buying it.arrow_forward
