The Tingey Company has 500 obsolete microcomputers that are carried in inventory at a total cost of $720,000. If these microcomputers are upgraded at a total cost of $140,000, they can be sold for a total of $200,000. As an alternative, the microcomputers can be sold in their present condition for $50,000. Suppose the sélling price of the upgraded computers has not been set. At what selling price per unit would the company be as well off upgrading the computers as if it just sold the computers in their present condition?

Poisson Calculators has found that it is indifferent between purchasing a high-capacity vacuum component assembly machine or a lower capacity machine as long as sales are above 1,900 units per month. The price of each calculator is $70. The high-capacity machine has cash expenses of $100,000 per month and depreciation and amortisation expenses of $30,000 per month, while the alternative has cash expenses of $30,000 per month and depreciation and amortisation expenses of $5,000 per month. Under the low-capacity alternative, variable costs per unit are $60. If the company bases its decisions on the Accounting Operating Profit Break-even, then what is the variable cost per unit under the high-capacity alternative? a. $10 b. $47 c. $60 d. $70
The Tingey Company has 500 obsolete microcomputers that are carried in inventory at a total cost of £720,000. If these microcomputers are upgraded at a total cost of £100,000, they can be sold for a total of £160,000.

We are considering the purchase of a $760,000 computed based inventory management system. It is in class 10 with a CCA rate of 30 per cent. The computer has a four-year life. It will be worth $30,000 at that time. The system would save us $60,000 pre-tax in inventory-related cost. The relevant tax rate is 28%. Because the new setup is more efficient than our existing one, we would be able to carry less total inventory and thus free $45,000 in net working capital. The required return is 10 percent. Required 1. Calculate the present value of CCA tax shield. 2. Explain why the CCA tax shield is consider a source of cash-inflow.
HIJK Company has on its inventory for almost three years electronics items with historical cost of 1,200. The cost to sell this products now is 50 per unit and can be sold at a price of 800 per unit. The said electronics items will become obsolete and proper provision for obsolescence is already accounted. What course of action is beneficial to the company as a whole? Sell the electronics items since the incremental benefit is more than the incremental cost. Net incremental benefit of selling is 750 per unit Do not sell the electronics items since the selling price is below the total cost. A net loss will be 450 per unit if sold.
Vaughn, Inc. has 9700 obsolete calculators, which are carried in inventory at a cost of $19900. If the calculators are scrapped, they can be sold for $1.20 each (for parts). If they are repackaged, at a cost of $14300, they could be sold to toy stores for $2.50 per unit. What alternative should be chosen, and why? Repackage; revenue is $5600 greater than cost Scrap; operating income is $1690 greater Scrap; incremental loss is $8260 Repackage; receive operating income of $9950
Marigold Corp. has several outdated computers that cost a total of $17800 and could be sold as scrap for $3000. They could be updated for an additional $1600 and sold. If Marigold updates the computers and sells them, net income will increase by $9000. At what price were the updated versions sold? O $14800 O $26800 O $13600 O $12000

Hyperion Inc., currently sells its latest high-speed color printer, the Hyper 500, for $350. Its cost of goods sold for the Hyper 500 is $200 per unit, and this year's sales (at the current price of $350) are expected to be 20,000 units. Hyperion plans to lower the price of the Hyper 500 to $300 one year from now. a. Suppose Hyperion considers dropping the price to $300 immediately, (rather than waiting one year). By doing so, it expects to increase this year's sales by 25% to 25,000 units. What would be the incremental impact on this year's EBIT of such a price drop? b. Suppose that for each printer sold, Hyperion expects additional sales of $75 per year on ink cartridges for the three-year life of the printer, and Hyperion has a gross profit margin of 70% on ink cartridges. What is the incremental impact on EBIT for the next three years of dropping the price immediately (rather than waiting one year)?
