Jax Construction Company plans to erect a new building. It will use part of the space for its own offices and lease the balance of the space to tenants. The company has two alternatives: (1) do its own construction work or (2) use an independent contractor.
Cost estimates have been prepared to show the costs of operation for the coming year during which the new building will be constructed. The costs of constructing the building, if done by Jax, are included in that set of estimates.
If the company does its own construction work, it will not be able to handle outside construction contracts that would contribute $500,000 to net income. The costs attributable to these outside contracts are excluded from the estimated costs of operation shown below.
