Markland Manufacturing manufactures desk lamps intends to increase capacity by obtaining new equipment. Two vendors have presented proposals. The purchase cost for proposal A is $30,000, and for proposal B, $80,000. Each proposal will produce lamps of the same quality. Proposal A is expected to produce lamps at $15.00/lamp, while proposal B is significantly more efficient and will produce them at $10.00/lamp. The revenue generated by the sale of each lamp is $20.00/unit. A. What is the point of indifference?B. The manufacturer expects to sell 12,000 lamps and has informed the vendors that it has chosen proposal B. The vendor of proposal A has offered to re-negotiate the purchase price of its proposal in order to win the contract. What purchase price will cause the manufacturerto reconsider its decision?

A distributor of fasteners is opening a new plant and considering whether to use a mechanized process or a manual process to package the product. The manual process will have a fixed cost of $36,234 and a variable cost of $2.14 per bag. The mechanized process would have a fixed cost of $84,420 and a variable cost of $1.85 per bag. The company expects to sell each bag of fasteners for $2.75. a) What is the break-even point for the manual process (in units)? b) What is the break-even point for the mechanized process (in units)? c) A point of indifference for two processes is quantity at which each process generates the same amount of profit (review video). What is the point of indifference for the two processes? (Hint: 1) Use equations to set profit of manual process equal to mechanized process and solve for quantity; 2) (Excel) If you have a break-even for each process - have only one cell that represents quantity that be used to calculates costs/revenues for each process and use Goal…

The Campbell Company is considering adding a robotic paint sprayer to its production line. The sprayer's base price is $1,030,000, and it would cost another $25,000 to install it. The machine falls into the MACRS 3-year class, and it would be sold after 3 years for $473,000. The MACRS rates for the first three years are 0.3333, 0.4445, and 0.1481. The machine would require an increase in net working capital (inventory) of $18,500. The sprayer would not change revenues, but it is expected to save the firm $396,000 per year in before-tax operating costs, mainly labor. Campbell's marginal tax rate is 25%.
