X Company is planning to stop the production and sale of Product Q, which lost $12,000 last year. If Product Q is dropped, two things will happen in each of the next four years: 1) last year's loss will be avoided, and 2) sales of Product R will be increased, contributing $12,000 to annual profits. In addition, if Product Q is dropped, the company will be able to sell some equipment immediately for $17,000. Assuming a discount rate of 4%, what is the net present value of stopping the production and sale of Product Q?

On January 1, 2017, Alison, Inc., paid $70,500 for a 40 percent interest in Holister Corporation’s common stock. This investee had assets with a book value of $224,500 and liabilities of $96,500. A patent held by Holister having a $13,300 book value was actually worth $41,800. This patent had a six-year remaining life. Any further excess cost associated with this acquisition was attributed to goodwill. During 2017, Holister earned income of $51,500 and declared and paid dividends of $17,000. In 2018, it had income of $70,500 and dividends of $22,000. During 2018, the fair value of Allison’s investment in Holister had risen from $85,700 to $93,300.

X Company currently makes a part and is considering buying it next year from a company that has offered to supply it for $16.00 per unit. This year, total costs to produce 53,000 units were:

Direct materials $307,400
Direct labor 222,600
Variable overhead 222,600
Fixed overhead 63,600


If X Company buys the part, it can avoid $23,532 of the fixed overhead. The resources that will become idle if they choose to buy the part can be used to increase production of another product, resulting in additional total contribution margin of $60,000.

The marketing manager is uncertain what demand will be next year. What level of demand will make the company indifferent between making the part and buying it?
