Enter the final answer rounded to the nearest dollar. $ Income 8. Based on the data given, would you recommend accepting the proposal? In favor of the proposal because of the reduction in break-even point. In favor of the proposal because of the possibility of increasing income from operations. In favor of the proposal because of the increase in break-even point. Reject the proposal because if future sales remain at the current level, the income from operations will increase. Reject the proposal because the sales necessary to maintain the current income from operations would be below the current year sales. Choose the correct answer. b Feedback 1. Multiply the percentages for fixed and variable costs by each cost. 2. a. Divide the total variable costs by number of units. 2. b. Sales price per unit minus variable costs per unit equals contribution margin per unit. 3. Fixed costs divided by unit contribution margin equals break-even point. 4. Fixed costs under the proposed program divided by contribution margin equals new break-even point. 5. (Fixed costs + Target profit) divided by unit contribution margin equals sales units. 6. Determine the increase in units by dividing the sales increase by the price per unit. Add the additional revenue and additional fixed costs when calculating: Sales minus fixed and variable costs equals income from operations. 7. Subtract the additional fixed costs from the operating income. 8. Consider the break-even point and the sales needed for the proposed level. Learning Objective 2, Learning Objective 3.

Nautical Creations is one of the largest producers of miniature
ships in a bottle. An especially complex part of one of the ships
needs special production equipment that is not useful for other
products. The company purchased this equipment early in 2015 for
$200,000. It is now early in 2019, and the manager of the Model
Ships Division, Jeri Finley, is thinking about purchasing new
equipment to make this part. The current equipment will last for
four more years with zero disposal value at that time. It can be
sold immediately for $40,000. The following are last year's total
manufacturing costs, when production was 8,200 ships:
Direct materials $29,930
Direct labor 30,340
Variable overhead 13,120
Fixed overhead 36,490
Total $109,880
The cost of the new equipment is $145,000. It has a four year
useful life with an estimated disposal value at that time of
$50,000. The sales representative selling the new equipment stated,
"The new equipment will allow direct labor and variable overhead
combined to be reduced by a total of $1.95 per unit." Finley thinks
this estimate is accurate, but also knows that a higher quality of
direct material will be necessary with the new equipment, costing
$0.25 more per unit. Fixed overhead costs will increase by $4,900.
Finley expects production to be 8,650 ships in each of the next
four years. Assume a discount rate of 5%. REQUIRED 1. What is the
difference in net present values if Nautical Creations buys the new
equipment instead of keeping their current equipment?

Carson Trucking is considering whether to expand its regional service center in Mohab, UT. The expansion requires the expenditure of $10,500,000 on new service equipment and would generate annual net cash inflows from reduced costs of operations equal to $3,000,000 per year for each of the next 9 years. In year 9 the firm will also get back a cash flow equal to the salvage value of the equipment, which is valued at $1.2 million. Thus, in year 9 the investment cash inflow totals $4,200,000.
