Answer:

Buy and save $2000

Explanation:

Vaughn’s Manufacturing Company

Differential Analysis

                                        Make                 Buy

Direct Materials           $127000

Direct Labor                  32000

Variable Overhead       44000

Fixed Overhead           30000           26000

<u>Purchasing Cost                                 $205000     </u>

<u>Total                             233,000           231,000</u>

From the above we see that the total costs to make are $ 233,000 and purchasing costs are $ 231,000. There's a difference of $ 2,000 so buying and saving $ 2000 is the correct option.

$ 26,000 ( 30000- 4000) are irrelevant costs that will continue whether the product is purchased or made.

Down Under Boomerang, Inc., is considering a new 3-year expansion project that requires an initial fixed asset investment of $2.
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

Explanation: please refer to the explanation section

Initial fixed asset Investment = 2.33million = 2 330 000

Modified Accelerated Cost recovery System

The Fixed Asset Falls under the 3 year MACRS class the project the asset which states that Asset Depreciation range Midpoint is 4 years or less  The period for this project is 3 years

Estimated annual sales = $1735000

costs = $640,000

Initial Net working Capital  investment = $300,000

Residual Value (Value of the fixed asset at the end) = $255,000

a. Projected Cash flows

Year 0

Cash outflows = 2 330 000 - 300 000 - 255 000 = 2375000

                                year 1       year 2         year 3

Estimated sales 1735000 1735000     1735000

costs                  -640000    -640000      -640000

Depreciation     -791666.67  -791666.67    -791666.67

Residual Value<u>                     255000 </u>

Net sales          303333.33     303333.33  558333.33

Tax  25%  -<u>75833.33 -75833.33 -139583.33</u>

Net Cash flows  <u>227500           227500              418750</u>

Depreciation = (2330 00 + 300 000 -255000)/3= 791666.67

Tax =  Net sales x 25%

b Net Present Value (Required rate Return = 9%)

PV  =  227500/(1+0.09)^1 + 227500/(1 + 0.09)^2 + 418750/(1+0.09)^3

Present Value of cash flows = 723549.63

Net Present Value = 723549.63 - 2630 000 = -1906450.37

The net present Value is Negative indicating the project will not bring positive returns
