In Karnes Company it costs $30 per unit ($20 variable and $10 fixed) to make a product that normally

sells for $45. A foreign wholesaler offers to buy 4,000 units at

$23 each. Karnes will incur special shipping costs of $1 per unit. Assuming that Karnes has excess operating capacity, indicate the net income (loss) Karnes would
realize by accepting the special order. (If a box should be blank enter a 0, all boxes must be filled to be correct. If the impact on net income is a decrease
use either a negative sign preceding the number, e.g. -45 or parenthesis, e.g. (45). Enter all other amounts as positive amounts and subtract where
necessary.)

Bartley Manufacturing incurs unit costs of $8 ($5 variable and $3 fixed) in making a sub-assembly part for its finished product. A supplier offers to make 10,000 of the
assembly part at $5.30 per unit. If the offer is accepted, Bartley will save all variable costs but no fixed costs. Complete the analysis showing the total cost saving, if
any, Bartley will realize by buying the part. (If a box should be blank enter a 0, all boxes must be filled to be correct. If the impact on net income is a

Stanton Inc. makes unfinished bookcases that it sells for $60. Production costs are $30 variable and $10 fixed. Because it has unused capacity, Stanton is considering
finishing the bookcases and selling them for $72. Variable finishing costs are expected to increase by $8 per unit with no increase in fixed costs. Complete the analysis
on a per unit basis showing whether Stanton should sell unfinished or finished bookcases. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places, e.g. 5.25. If an amount is

In Nevitt Company, data concerning two products are: Contribution margin per unit - Product A $11, Product B $12; machine hours required for one unit - Product A 2,
Product B 2.5. Compute the contribution margin per unit of limited resource for each product. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. 5.25.)

Product A Product B
Contribution margin $ 5.5 $ 4.8

Adler Company is considering purchasing new equipment for $300,000. It is expected that the equipment will produce annual net income of $10,000 over its 10-year
useful life. Annual depreciation will be $30,000.

Compute the cash payback period. (Round your answer to 1 decimal place, e.g. 5.1.)

7.5 years

$300,000 ÷ ($10,000 + $30,000) = 7.5 years

Correct.

Horak Company accumulates the following data concerning a proposed capital investment: cash cost $225,000, net annual cash flow $34,000, present value factor of
cash inflows for 10 years 6.71 (rounded).

Determine the net present value

$ 3140

Should the investment be made?

yes

Net annual cash flows - $34,000 × 6.71 $228,140

Capital investment $225,000 × 1.00 225,000
Positive net present value $3,140

Yes, the investment should be made because net present value is positive

Correct.

Rondello Company is considering a capital investment of $150,000 in additional productive facilities. The new machinery is expected to have a useful life of 5 years with
no salvage value. Depreciation is by the straight-line method. During the life of the investment, annual net income and cash inflows are expected to be $18,000 and
$48,000, respectively. Rondello has a 12% cost of capital rate, which is the minimum acceptable rate of return on the investment. (Round answers to 0 decimals
places, e.g. 2,510 except round payback to 2 decimal places, e.g. 5.25.)

Compute the following:

Annual rate of return 24 %

Cash payback period on the proposed capital expenditure 3.13 years

Using the discounted cash flow technique, compute the net present value $ 23029

Annual rate of return: $18,000 ÷ [($150,000 + $0) ÷ 2] = 24%.

Cash payback: $150,000 ÷ $48,000 = 3.13 years.
