Decision on Accepting Additional Business

Brightstone Tire and Rubber Company has capacity to produce 162,000 tires. Brightstone presently produces and sells 124,000 tires for the North American market at a price of $103 per tire. Brightstone is evaluating a special order from a European automobile company, Euro Motors. Euro is offering to buy 19,000 tires for $86.55 per tire. Brightstone's accounting system indicates that the total cost per tire is as follows:

Brightstone pays a selling commission equal to 5% of the selling price on North American orders, which is included in the variable portion of the selling and administrative expenses. However, this special order would not have a sales commission. If the order was accepted, the tires would be shipped overseas for an additional shipping cost of $6 per tire. In addition, Euro has made the order conditional on receiving European safety certification. Brightstone estimates that this certification would cost $104,500.

a. Prepare a differential analysis dated January 21 on whether to reject (Alternative 1) or accept (Alternative 2) the special order from Euro Motors. If an amount is zero, enter zero "0". If required, round interim calculations to two decimal places.

Determine whether to reject (Alternative 1) or accept (Alternative 2) the special order from Euro Motors.

b. What is the minimum price per unit that would be financially acceptable to Brightstone? Round your answer to two decimal places.

Net Present Value-Unequal Lives

Daisy’s Creamery Inc. is considering one of two investment options. Option 1 is a $69,000 investment in new blending equipment that is expected to produce equal annual cash flows of $21,000 for each of seven years. Option 2 is a $79,000 investment in a new computer system that is expected to produce equal annual cash flows of $27,000 for each of five years. The residual value of the blending equipment at the end of the fifth year is estimated to be $14,000. The computer system has no expected residual value at the end of the fifth year.

“In my opinion, we ought to stop making our own drums and accept that outside supplier’s offer,” said Wim Niewindt, managing director of Antilles Refining, N.V., of Aruba. “At a price of $19 per drum, we would be paying $5.45 less than it costs us to manufacture the drums in our own plant. Since we use 85,000 drums a year, that would be an annual cost savings of $463,250.” Antilles Refining’s current cost to manufacture one drum is given below (based on 85,000 drums per year):

A decision about whether to make or buy the drums is especially important at this time because the equipment being used to make the drums is completely worn out and must be replaced. The choices facing the company are:

Alternative 1: Rent new equipment and continue to make the drums. The equipment would be rented for $255,000 per year.

Alternative 2: Purchase the drums from an outside supplier at $19 per drum.

The new equipment would be more efficient than the equipment that Antilles Refining has been using and, according to the manufacturer, would reduce direct labor and variable overhead costs by 30%. The old equipment has no resale value. Supervision cost ($85,000 per year) and direct materials cost per drum would not be affected by the new equipment. The new equipment’s capacity would be 125,000 drums per year.

The company’s total general company overhead would be unaffected by this decision.

Required:

1. Assuming that 85,000 drums are needed each year, what is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of buying the drums from an outside supplier?

2. Assuming that 100,000 drums are needed each year, what is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of buying the drums from an outside supplier?

3. Assuming that 125,000 drums are needed each year, what is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of buying the drums from an outside supplier?

Zachary Moran manages the cutting department of Greene Adams Company. He purchased a tree-cutting machine on January 1, 2018, for $500,000. The machine had an estimated useful life of 5 years and zero salvage value, and the cost to operate it is $104,000 per year. Technological developments resulted in the development of a more advanced machine available for purchase on January 1, 2019, that would allow a 20 percent reduction in operating costs. The new machine would cost $290,000 and have a 4-year useful life and zero salvage value. The current market value of the old machine on January 1, 2019, is $260,000, and its book value is $400,000 on that date. Straight-line depreciation is used for both machines. The company expects to generate $285,000 of revenue per year from the use of either machine.

Required

1. Recommend whether to replace the old machine on January 1, 2019.

2. Prepare income statements for four years (2019 through 2022) assuming that the old machine is retained.

3. Prepare income statements for four years (2019 through 2022) assuming that the old machine is replaced.
