Explanation:
Question Aa. Preparation of a differential analysis dated September 13
DIFFERENTIAL ANALYSIS
Continue with Old Machine (Alt. 1) or Replace Old Machine (Alt. 2)
September 13
Continue with Old Machine (Alternative 1); Replace Old Machine (Alternative 2) ; Differential
on Income (Alternative 2)
Revenues:
Proceeds from sale of old
machine $ 0 $64,500 $64,500
Costs:
Purchase price 0 –$483,600 –$483,600
Variable production costs (8 years)–$1,253,600 –$811,200 $442,400
($156,700*8=$1,253,600)
($101,400*8=$811,200)
Income (Loss) –$1,253,600 –$1,230,300 $ 23,300
b. The company should replace the old machine.
c. Calculation for The sunk cost
Using this for formula
Sunk cost= Book value- Accumulated
depreciation
Let plug in the formula
Sunk cost=$601,300-$350,900
Sunk cost=$250,400
Question Ba. Preparation of a differential analysis dated September 13
DIFFERENTIAL ANALYSIS
Continue with Old Machine (Alt. 1) or Replace Old Machine (Alt. 2)
September 13
Continue with Old Machine (Alternative 1); Replace Old Machine (Alternative 2) ; Differential
on Income (Alternative 2)
Revenues:
Proceeds from sale of old
machine $ 0 $231,000 $231,000
Costs:
Purchase price 0 –$545,000 –$545,000
Variable production costs (8 years)–$488,000 –$152,000 $336,000
($61,000*8=$488,000)
($19,000*8=$152,000)
Income (Loss) –$488,000 –$466,000 $ 22,000
b. The company should replace the old machine.
c. Calculation for The sunk cost
Using this for formula
Sunk cost= Book value- Accumulated
depreciation
Let plug in the formua
Sunk cost=$600,000-$350,000
Sunk cost=$250,000
