Crane Roofing is faced with a decision. The company relies very heavily on the use of its 60-foot extension lift for work on lar

ge homes and commercial properties. Last year, Crane Roofing spent $73,200 refurbishing the lift. It has just determined that another $39,000 of repair work is required. Alternatively, it has found a newer used lift that is for sale for $166,500. The company estimates that both lifts would have useful lives of 6 years. The new lift is more efficient and thus would reduce operating expenses by about $24,400 per year. Crane Roofing could also rent out the new lift for about $10,000 per year. The old lift is not suitable for rental. The old lift could currently be sold for $24,500 if the new lift is purchased.
Prepare an incremental analysis for the life of the machines showing whether the company should replace the equipment.

Answer:

The company should replace the equipment.

Explanation:

The cost analysis is calculated as follows;

                         Retain                Replace                 Net Income

                                     Equipment        Equipment         Increase (Decrease)

Operating expenses     $146,400                0                      $146,400

($24,400*6)  

Repair costs            $39,000                 0                    $39,000

Rental revenue                      0                 -$60000              $60,000

($10,000*6)  

New machine cost              0                $166,500            -$166,500

Sale of old machine   0               -$24,500              $24,500

Total cost                  $185,400   $82,000               $103,400

From the calculation above, the equipment should be replaced as it incur a lesser cost compare to when it is retained.

jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

1. $28

2. $278,040

3. $7,560 under-applied

4. $8.8536

Explanation:

The computation is shown below

1. Predetermined overhead rate = (Total Budgeted: Overhead) ÷ (estimated direct labor-hours)

= $285,600 ÷ 10,200 hours

= $28

2. The applied overhead would be

= Actual direct labor-hours × predetermined overhead rate

= 9,930 hours × $28

= $278,040

3. The over applied or under applied would be

= Actual manufacturing overhead - applied overhead

= $285,600 - $278,040

= $7,560 under-applied

4. Total cost per unit would be

= (Prime Cost + Applied Overhead) ÷ (Number of units)

= ($1,050,000 + $278,040) ÷ (150,000 units

= $1,328,040  ÷ 150,000 units

= $8.8536
