Mercer Asbestos Removal Company removes potentially toxic asbestos insulation and related products from buildings. There has been a long-simmering dispute between the company’s estimator and the work supervisors. The on-site supervisors claim that the estimators do not adequately distinguish between routine work such as removal of asbestos insulation around heating pipes in older homes and nonroutine work such as removing asbestos-contaminated ceiling plaster in industrial buildings. The on-site supervisors believe that nonroutine work is far more expensive than routine work and should bear higher customer charges. The estimator sums up his position in this way: “My job is to measure the area to be cleared of asbestos. As directed by top management, I simply multiply the square footage by $2.80 to determine the bid price. Since our average cost is only $2.31 per square foot, that leaves enough cushion to take care of the additional costs of nonroutine work that shows up. Besides, it is difficult to know what is routine or not routine until you actually start tearing things apart.”
To shed light on this controversy, the company initiated an activity-based costing study of all of its costs. Data from the activity-based costing system follow:
| Activity Cost Pool | Activity Measure | Total Activity | |
| Removing asbestos | Thousands of square feet | 800 | thousand square feet |
| Estimating and job setup | Number of jobs | 500 | jobs |
| Working on nonroutine jobs | Number of nonroutine jobs | 100 | nonroutine jobs |
| Other (costs of idle capacity and organization-sustaining costs) |
None | ||
|
Note: The 100 nonroutine jobs are included in the total of 500 jobs. Both nonroutine jobs and routine jobs require estimating and setup. |

1. Calculating inflation using a simple price index
Consider a fictional price index, the College Student Price Index (CSPI), based on a typical college student’s annual purchases. Suppose the following table shows information on the market basket for the CSPI and the prices of each of the goods in 2017, 2018, and 2019.
The cost of each item in the basket and the total cost of the basket are shown for 2017.
Perform these same calculations for 2018 and 2019, and enter the results in the following table.

| Price index | 100 | ||||||
Suppose the base year for this price index is 2017.
In the last row of the table, calculate and enter the value of the CSPI for the remaining years.
Between 2017 and 2018, the CSPI increased by . Between 2018 and 2019, the CSPI increased by .
Which of the following, if true, would illustrate why price indexes such as the CSPI might overstate inflation in the cost of going to college? Check all that apply.
A new type of personal transporter, which made it easier to get around places like university campuses, became available for purchase.
Professors required each student to buy eight textbooks, regardless of the price.
The quality of textbooks increased dramatically from 2017 to 2019, with textbook companies bundling new online study aids with their books, but this quality change is hard to measure.
As the price of energy drinks increased relative to the price of coffee between 2017 and 2019, students decreased their consumption of energy drinks and increased their consumption of coffee.

Operating cash inflows: A firm is considering renewing its equipment to meet increased demand for its product. The cost of equipment modifications is $1.82 million plus $105,000 in installation costs. The firm will depreciate the equipment modifications under MACRS, using a 5-year recovery period (see table) Additional sales revenue from the renewal should amount to $ 1.13 million per year, and additional operating expenses and other costs (excluding depreciation and interest) will amount to 40% of the additional sales. The firm is subject to a tax rate of 40%. (Note: Answer the following questions for each of the next 6 years.)
a. What incremental earnings before depreciation, interest, and taxes will result from the renewal?
b. What incremental net operating profits after taxes will result from the renewal?
c. What incremental operating cash inflows will result from the renewal?
